Win The Gourds tickets!

Andy Goodwin

We could go into all the reasons why Austin quintet the Gourds is so much damn fun in concert, but wouldn't it be better to experience the alt-country combo in person?

Touring in support of the recently released album Haymaker!, the Gourds will take over Fort Worth (or, as the band lists it on its Web site, Fort "Party" Worth) and the Longhorn Saloon Saturday and the kind folks at Spune Productions have given us two pairs of tickets to hand out to you lucky so-and-so's. First two people to e-mail me with the subject line "Shinebox" will get their names on the guest list. Contest runs until noon Friday or whenever the ducats are gone. Good luck!
