Thrushes / Glasvegas Contest
September 17th 2008, 12:34 AM | by Greg Szeto | |So one of our local favorites, Thrushes, are playing a great show October 2nd at the Ottobar. Headliners are the fantastic sounding Glasvegas. The bad news? Due to some personnel shakeups in the form of drummer Ryan Sterner’s departure, Thrushes are taking some time this winter to regroup. Drummer Scott Tiemman from Avec will be filling in for this appearance and they will officially be on hiatus afterwards.
As a “keep our seat reserved, we’ll be back soon” gift from Casey and crew to you, lucky readers, we are giving away one honking prize pack featuring:
- 1 guest list
- 1 Sun Come Undone vinyl
- 1 Heartbeats Remixed cd
- 1 limited edition 18 x 24 signed and numbered poster (pictured right) by Miss Amy Jo
Entry is simple, just leave a comment or email us at auralstates at gmail dot com. We will let the winner know on Sept 30th.

I forget where I heard it, or from whom, but apparently Thrushes’ original drummer, Matt Davis, may be coming back into the mix.

Yes, I heard the same thing. Was very happy to hear that. Shoegaze drummers are way to hard to find and Matt does a fine job.
