We said there were going to be two contests starting today and we weren’t joking. Actually, we were joking right before we said that but it was about something else and we didn’t do it publicly. What were we joking about? I can’t remember. Probably something about the word “cyberspace”.
And now, onto the contest.
You probably haven’t heard of them because they weren’t all that popular around here but in the year 1960, a band called “The Beatles” was formed in a country called “England”. They lasted about 10 years and only had about 15 number-one albums. Plus, they have only sold about 1 billion records. In other words, they’re certainly no Creed.
Which is why it comes as a pretty big surprise to discover that a tribute band had formed and was currently touring the country in a show that so closely mirrors the original performance that the Denver Post referred to it as “The next best thing to seeing The Beatles.”
If you’d like to check out RAIN, as they call themselves, they’re playing eight shows starting next week at the Walton Arts Center and we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to one lucky you (maybe you).
How to enter
Apparently, The Beatles were popular enough to inspire hundreds of covers of their obscure “pop” songs. If you’ve ever heard one, leave a comment below listing the song being covered and the artist behind the cover. We’ll randomly draw a winner.
