Win Tickets to Flagpole's AthFest Showcase Featuring The Coathangers, Axxa/Abraxas, More
Axxa/Abraxas
AthFest is upon us! And I know you're all planning to kick off this year's Club Crawl by camping out at the 40 Watt Club tonight for Flagpole's official showcase, featuring The Coathangers, Axxa/Abraxas, murk daddy flex and Shade.
The show is free with an AthFest wristband or $7 at the door without one. Don't have a wristband? Think the Flagpole showcase is the only AthFest stuff worth seeing? That's kinda crazy, but hey, we certainly can't fault you for wanting to soak up these sweet rock and psych vibes.
We've got a pair of tickets to tonight's show to give away. To win, tell us in the comments below why YOU deserve to go for free. We'll choose a winner today at 4:30 p.m.
