The Promise Ring Reunion Show

The Promise Ring is playing a (just one) reunion show this Saturday at a charity event at Flower 15 in Chicago. I tried to dig up some information and found something in the Chicago Tribune.

Most artists aren't household names or radio favorites, yet attract dedicated audiences that appreciate artistic integrity, reject image-consciousness and are eager to hear stimulating music that isn't drawn up in a corporate boardroom. They will be treated to a cornucopia of ear-opening sounds, including wordless jazz-rock (Tortoise), narrative folk-punk (Ted Leo + Pharmacists), arena-ready emo (Jimmy Eat World), restrained drone-pop (The American Analog Set), psych-pop (The Essex Green), pitch-shifting instrumental (Pelican), religious metalcore (The Chariot) and hummable hardcore (Hopesfall, Evergreen Terrace).

Through blogcritics, I was offered a ticket to the afterparty, DJ'ed by Ted Leo, and that makes it all the more painful I can't go.

For those of you who ARE going (you know who you are)... for God's sake, have a great time.

You'll have to register, but Epitonic has some free, legal, high-quality TPR mp3's right here.
