Choose a Concert for Me

100Bands Poll: Choose A Band!

If you are an avid concert goer like us, then you are familiar with those unfortunate times when two bands you want to see live are playing at different venues on the same day. In some cases it is an easy choice, but other times when you have an equal interest in both bands, it can be downright impossible to choose one.  Riddled with indecision, I am asking you, dear reader, to take the matter into your own hands and make the hard choice for me. I will go to whichever concert wins in the polls and I will review it as a part of the 100 Bands in 1 year challenge. If you were faced with this choice, which concert would you go see?

To aid you in your choice making process, I am providing one song from each headlining artist and links to all the performers’ websites if you need to further investigate. Please keep in mind that the opening acts sometimes have the power to make a show really great. Poll closes at midnight on September 20th.

Basia Bulat - Heart of my own

I came across the Canadian, Basia Bulat one year when I was looking at the line up for SXSW and really liked her. At the time the only songs itunes had available were "In the Night" and "Snakes and Ladders" which I both really like. But now she has a new album out called, A heart of my own, and I really really like it. She has an interesting voice and uses a lot of strings and keyboards so she doesn't come off as another chick with a guitar. Her sound is very unique. Her song, Before I Knew, was in a Subaru commercial which you might recognize and I almost posted it because I am a sucker for hand claps in songs. But here is live version of "Heart of my own" found on her new album. (This is one of those ones that you might want to check out on itunes to see what her cd version sounds like, also check out her website for clips of her songs).
