Win Tickets to See Lemolo Friday Night
Ugh, I’m so sick of adjectives.
Dreamy. Brooding. Atmospheric. Crestfallen. Retrospective. Elegant.
Gentle readers, get ready to be hit, bruised and perhaps even bludgeoned by adjectives in reference to Lemolo’s debut album The Kaleidoscope. I know what you’re thinking, “What else is a writer supposed to do? Literally paint a picture of the sounds being created? Isn’t that kind of like a music video?”
Yeah, kind of.
If you know Lemolo (and if you do, chances are you love them) then you know these songs. The whole “music video” concept we discussed earlier? They exist.
These two ladies from Poulsbo, Washington didn’t sellout two nights at Columbia City Theater because of descriptions written by hacks like me. Ladies and gentlemen, that’s not how music real life works. You’re going to see Megan Grandall and Kendra Cox perform this weekend because they have written songs using austere instrumentation, compositions that you and I personally connect with. Let’s discuss “Whale Song” for a few brief moments. It’s not about the tinker-toy ivories, programmed drums and opulent background vocals taking place while a possible fable unfolds during the course of a few rays of captured sunshine. It’s about how that song makes you feel, regardless of season, specified GPS location or where your head is currently residing along the astral plane. The feelings these songs have enkindled have brought you here today. I’m fully aware why this album is called The Kaleidoscope. However. it could also be called The Ameliorable, for its ability to make this existence that much more bearable….

Sorry, I got carried away.
We’re giving away four tickets to the release show at Columbia City Theater on Friday night. Did I mention it’s sold-out? Leave a comment indicating how excruciatingly awful it would be to miss this show and we’ll choose a winner shortly. Slow Skate, Kaylee Cole and Lost Lander will also be there, will you?

AHHH!!!! I’ve seen Lemolo a handful of times already (bumbershoot twice, vera project, the crocodile, etc.) and they’ve just gotten better and better with every live show. I absolutely can’t miss this one!!!

On my 10th Birthday I flew over the handlebar of my birthday bicycle, split open my chin, chipped 3 teeth, and spent my entire birthday in the emergency room getting stitches. To miss out on this show by the unbelievably sweet Lemolo would be 10 times worse than my 10th birthday. It would be like splitting my skull open and chipping all my teeth. And then spending my entire birthday month in the ICU.

I love this band, I first saw them at Doe Bay and love everything they do

I love this band, I missed seeing them at Doe Bay (coudln’t get in the yoga studio) and love everything they do and can’t wait to see them. I saw them briefly at bumbershoot but my son went to the bathroom and couldn’t get back in. I’m so bummed I missed out on tickets to the release show and will be sad when the concerts are happening if I’m not there.

I am an idiot and forgot to get tickets and if I get to go I promise to report if the yoga room on Doe Bay is steamier than Columbia City Theater.

It would be a terrible shame for me to miss Lemolo’s album release show. I have been cursing myself for failing to snag tickets for Friday before they sold out.
Oh, what a joy winning tickets would be…
Fingers crossed.

Lemolo’s sweet, ethereal edge has drawn me into the deepest girl crush known to human kind.

I’ll be honest…I’ve heard the name Lemolo before but was not sure who or what they were…but after your incredible description I think I would be very bummed if I missed seeing their show in such a great venue.
I was at the Columbia City Theater last week for a Summer Solstice show and just love the acoustics
there.

Lemolo depression haiku:
Have flight and hotel
Can’t stop longing for the show
Alas, no tickets

I’ve never seen Lemolo live! Isn’t that reason enough? thankyouthankyouthankyou

This would be tragic. I had no idea who you were till I saw the poster. The poster has open up my world to Lemolo. By the time I looked up tickets they were all gone. The sad sad story of my life. On the plus side, I guess you can judge a book by its cover.

If I can’t make it my ears will jump off my head and slap me in the face.

I just followed the link to some of their videos and was blown away! Beautiful, beautiful stuff. I think you should pass the tickets along to a new fan like myself and help grow the audience for Lemolo. Please and thank you!

I’ve never even heard Lemolo. I love Kaylee Cole and was so bummed to see the show was sold out. But if Lemolo are as bad ass as Kaylee…I know I will heart them too!!
