Dan Bejar (a.k.a. Destroyer) launched a nationwide tour last night in support of his uber critically acclaimed, cerebral indie rock record, Destroyer’s Rubies. Released just last month, the album is already on the tip of “everyone’s” collective tongue as the best of the year. The trek will stretch well into spring but next week, Destroyer will be in NYC for a show at Avalon on March 28.
Because Merge loves us, they gave us a pair of tickets to the sure-to-be-sold out gig and because we love y’all, we’re going to pass them on to YOU. If you want ‘em, email contest@thetripwire.com and tell us why you deserve to go.
