Groovebug Bonnaroo Ticket Giveaway

image

Festival season is fast approaching and nothing makes us happier here at Groovebug than great live music. Instead of daydreaming about basking (or burning) in the Tennessee sun, we decided to help some of our Groovebug fans out. To celebrate and share our favorite time of year we will be giving away two Bonnaroo tickets.

We have two 4-day festival admission tickets to giveaway to Bonnaroo. The sweepstakes begins (NOW) Thursday, April 26 at 2:00 pm CST and and ends Thursday, May 3 at 2 pm CST. The sweepstakes is open to anyone as long as you follow the rules and can receive deliverable packages. No purchase is necessary to enter and winners will be randomly selected.  We will contact the winner the following week.

To enter, follow these steps:

1) “Like” the Groovebug Facebook Page

2) Retweet the link to this post (with the hashtag #groovebug) OR reblog this on tumblr OR leave a comment on our facebook post about why you want to go to Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival

Please do not leave more than one comment as it will not increase your chances of winning. Follow us on twitter @groovebug to receive the most recent Groovebug and contest updates. And finally, visit www.bonnaroo.com for full lineup and festival details

Music History Series: Best of Indie Rock

image

As avid fans of Indie Rock and music discovery, we always like to share our personal favorites with Groovebug users. This week’s feature showcases indie rockers who inspired our love of the entire genre. Some of our favorites, such as Arcade Fire and Bon Iver, have received more mainstream success with their recent Grammy wins (although tumblrs like “Who is Bonny Bear” make us realize they clearly haven’t become THAT mainstream.)

This feature pays homage to bands like Modest Mouse, Rilo Kiley, Sufjan Stevens, and Devendra Banhart who comprised days upon days (maybe weeks or months) of our iTunes music consumption. Even though many of their best albums came out almost 10 years a go, the music is still relatable and relevant. We hope you like our suggestions and please let us know of any of your favorite indie rock we’re missing!

New Groovebug Feature: Civil Twilight

image

Civil Twilight is three life long friends (two of them brothers) livin’ out their dream and making music. And hey, isn’t that all any of us can ask for?

Steven and Andrew McKellar and Richard Wouters hail from South Africa and have spent the past year playing the likes of Bonnaroo, Voodoo Fest, and opening for acts like The Smashing Pumpkins and Florence & The Machine. Their new album, Holy Weather, was inspired by the experience of being on the road and the inherent nostalgia that comes with hours of staring out a window. Essentially, it is the perfect blend of self-reflexive rock and soothing vocals. To learn more about Civil Twilight head over to the Groovebug app for iPad! 

Check out some of their tracks below:
