Graham Wilkinson and the Underground Township (at NxNW, Sept 9)

Well, they tore it up again.

Last month, it was a hundred degrees on the deck at North by Northwest. Last night, the entire town was convulsed by the Ohio. St.-Texas game. There were only about a dozen people in the audience (including Gloria and Eli 5.1).

Didn't matter.

These guys don't give a shit if they're playing in front of three people or three thousand. They absolutely tear it up every single time.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check last month's post here. Graham Wilkinson & the Underground Township are an Austin band, and they're phenomenal. They're already famous--people just don't know it yet.

When we had the contest last month, all five CD's were gone in less than ten minutes (including one that went to Estonia). So I thought I would have another contest for all of you who didn't win last time. We have five more CD's to give away.

If you'd like to win a CD of the band, here's how it's going to work. Sometime either today or Tuesday, between the hours of 9 a.m.-5 p.m. (CST), I'll post the contest questions. And this time, I'm going to give people who listen to their music the best chance of winning. I'm going to post three questions about the songs currently playing on their Myspace Music page.

Sure, you can find lyrics to some of their songs on the Web. But there are some new songs in the Myspace rotation, and I may also ask questions about the music in the songs--not just the lyrics. So if you actually listen to the songs, you'll have a much better chance of winning.

And here's a twist: those four songs on the Myspace Music page get rotated. Over the course of the two days that the contest can happen, one or two songs will probably rotate out. So if you listen to the songs right now, you'll still need to check the page periodically to see if anything new gets rotated into the mix.

The second twist: in addition to the five CD's, which will be awarded to the five fastest correct responses, there will be drawing for all the people (including the first five) who responded correctly within three hours of the contest question being posted. The winner of that drawing wins the game of their choice from EBGames.

Yes, that includes Guitar Hero, if that's what you want.

Here's a small clue: one of the contest questions will probably be about "Oh Yeah," which is just a freaking great song.

Okay, here's the link to the Myspace Music page: Graham Wilkinson & the Underground Township.
