10 Random Albums To Be Thankful For
The Rapture's tour hits America! What better city to start with than Los Angeles? And what better website to offer a contest for a free pair of tickets to see The Rapture? Go ahead, ask if we like rhetorical questions!
They will be playing two shows at The Mayan (July 25th, and July 26th) and we will be giving away three pairs of tickets. Two pairs will be for the Wednesday the 25th, and one pair will be for Thursday the 26th, and WE decide at random which night you end up with. (It's the only way to keep things simple, honest, and fair)

1) Click Here to register with LAist. Be sure to include your real email, because that is how we will be contacting you.
2) Leave a comment on this post telling us what other bands sound like The Rapture.
3) Do this before Tuesday July 24th, 2007 @ Noon because at that time, the contest will be over.
We will email the winners, and ask them for their real name (To be put on the list) and tell them if they are going Wednesday or Thursday.

Their sound is like the gang of four, their singer sounds like Robert Smith from the Cure. Their music is more on the dance side than the Cure or Gang of Four though.
