Here's the deal, we're here because we're a community and want to help spread the word to you and your friends about great shows, albums and artists that will truly improve your quality of life!

Sometimes we're here to give you a "heads up" and just let you know about some of the great shows coming your way but in these times when most of us find ourselves a bit challenged financially, we need a little extra incentive to go out and have a good time.

So WE along with the fine folks over at THE MINT have set up a promotion for a few Sin City Social Club members to BUY one ticket and get another one for FREE!

It's easy... Be one of the FIRST FIVE Sin City Social Club members to buy advance tickets thru their website and you can Bring a Friend for FREE!

1. Go to www.themintla.com and check out the calendar.
2. Click on one of the 3 following shows to buy advance tickets
3. when selecting how many tickets you'd like - please select (2) tickets
4. Enter "SIN CITY" in the PROMO CODE section before you check out so the discount can be applied to your order.

Here are the 3 shows that we felt you'd most enjoy!

Saturday, February 14th
Tease your Sweetheart by bringing em to see THE GOURDS at THE MINT!

"Austin, Texas' The Gourds have never been much on sentiment..." taken straight from their bio! So, WHY NOT go hang out with them on one of the most "sentimental" days of the year! Whether you're on a date, or drinkin' Lone Stars with a buddy, THE MINT is the place to be on Valentines Day!
10:45pm The Gourds (late show)
9pm Ryan Eggold (of 90210)
8pm Erik Janson

Something about their latest album ...
“their best album in a long career of good and very good albums… They do what they've always done, only better.” - Paste Magazine


Thursday, February 19th
BLUE RODEO with special guest TIM EASTON
@ The Mint!

BLUE RODEO:
"If only most bands aged this well. After more than 20 years, Canadian country-rockers Blue Rodeo have put out their third live album, this time culled from an acoustic night at Toronto’s Massey Hall. It tops most sets by bands a quarter of their age." -Gateway Online

AND Joshua Tree's own TIM EASTON!

Most of you KNOW how we feel about TIM. Expect him to play songs from his forthcoming album PORCUPINE (due out this Spring on New West Records) and be sure to check out his side project EASTON STAGGER PHILLIPS! Unfortunately, ESP had to cancel their West Coast dates due to a climbing injury that Evan Phillips sustained some time ago. We'll see to it that you have info. on more dates as they're re-scheduled.

One of our new favorite artists, AUSTIN HARTLEY-LEONARD, kicks off his month long residency at THE HOTEL CAFE in Los Angeles next week. That means you've got 4 chances to check out some fresh blood in the Sin City camp! He'll be playing EVERY WEDNESDAY in FEBRUARY at 9pm. It's been said that Austin Hartley-Leonard's debut "Franklin Ave." delivers classic Americana songwriting with textures of NICK DRAKE and THE BAND!

Check out our FEATURED VIDEO for "Golden Opportunitiy" a video that he shot out in Joshua Tree last summer!
