DiS has a pair of tickets for M.I.A.’s forthcoming December dates in Manchester and London to give away.
The XL-signed alt-pop rapper’s Kala (reviewed here) is among the DiS office’s favourites of 2007, which reminds us: soon you will be able to vote for a DiS users top ten albums of the year, from an editorial team-selected shortlist. Will Kala be in the running? More on that soon.
M.I.A.’s December dates:
December 7 Dublin Phoenix Park 8 London ICA 10 Birmingham Custard Factory 11 Newcastle Digital 14 Brighton Concorde 2 15 Bristol Anson Rooms 17 Nottingham Rescue Rooms 18 Manchester Academy 2 20 London Coronet
To win tickets – a pair – to either the Manchester (Dec 18) or London (Dec 20) show, simply answer this question:
M.I.A.’s ’20 Dollar’ quite clearly borrows a line or two from a well-known Pixies song, but which Pixies song? A) ‘Where Is My Mind?’ B) ‘Wave Of Mutilation’ C) ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’
Send your answer to me, via a note – click here and follow the appropriate link. Write M.I.A. competition as the subject line and please specify which show you’d like tickets for. Winners will be contacted via a note on November 2.
Good luck!
