Robots (heart) Pela... and TWO Contests to boot!

Pela - Anytown Graffiti

Pela rocks. Pela rocks live. Pela remixed rocks just as hard. Pela is no stranger to MFR.

In case the picture isn't crystal clear at this point, Pela is a band to watch. They've got a huge sound, huge hearts, and a huge debut album, Anytown Graffiti that is FINALLY dropping Tuesday of this week (April 24th)! Even Rolling Stone is getting on the bandwagon, meaning your chances to see these lads in cozy spaces are shrinking rapidly, before they go all Interpol-big before you know it. Indeed, they've sold out the Mercury Lounge for the 3rd time in a row, and are about to hit the road for a long album launch tour.

This is where you look up your city and buy your tickets. Done? Okay. Keep reading.

So, how do you get the new CDs? Well, if you're thrifty like me, you can order it from Insound, but wait there's more! Enter coupon code Pela15 to get 15% off your album order, and get a free MP3 download as well!

But wait!!! There's even more! Don't want to pay for the CD at all? Why not win a copy from your robot buddies here at MFR? How do you get this sweet deal? It's easy.

Contest 1: Gimmie dat CD!

Update: The contest is officially over! We'd planned on only giving out one prize pack, but due to the overwhelming and incredibly warm response we got from y'all, we've bumped it up to three lucky winners. Keep an eye on your e-mail!

1) E-mail contests (at) music.for-robots.com (contest over), and include your name, address, and the name of the song that Pela contributed to Music For Robots: Volume 2.
2) Check e-mail from time to time.
3) Enjoy your free prize pack, which will include all of:

- Pela Anytown Graffiti CD
- Pela classic light blue T (Men's L or Women's L)
- 3 Pela buttons

Impatient? You can listen to the entire streaming album on Pela's site. That should tide you over till the prize pack appears!

Contest 2: I want to see the music!

You're soooooooooo pissed the show sold out! You would give anything to see 'em! You want into that damn Mercury Lounge, bad! What should you do?

Well, here's what:

1) Live in or near enough to NYC to get here by tomorrow night.
2) Grab a friend who's free Tuesday, April 24th (all evening is ideal, but Pela goes on at 10pm
3) E-mail contests (at) music.for-robots.com (contest over) with GET ME TO THE SHOW in the subject line. Be sure the include your cell phone number, since getting you in will require some light footwork on our end.
4) Wait nervously.
5) Get the call, go to the show!
