Go To This: Free Chairlift Show @ Reward in Philly This Friday!!!

This Friday (10/10) we implore you to head down to the coolest new shop in Philly, Reward (we drooled over it the other month) to see one of the most promising new bands to come along in quite a while, Brooklyn's Chairlift. There will be free screened posters available and free drinks courtesy of our good friends Sailor Jerry Rum.

Don't know who Chairlift is yet? No worries, just read this:

The band went cross-country with Ariel Pink this summer and has previously performed with bands such as MGMT, Mixel Pixel and YACHT among others.

Originally from Boulder, CO, Caroline Polachek, Aaron Pfenning and Patrick Wimberly were inspired by the 1980's faux-gothic architecture of the strange Broker Inn they would frequent to see empty late-night jazz shows. Inspired by this 'ideal hypothetical setting,' Chairlift formed in the summer of 2006, intent on making live music for haunted houses.

The band's song "Bruises" is now featured in the new iPod Nano commercial, and it can be viewed here. Listen to the band's music on MySpace, download a track below, and grab their new album Does You Inspire You, on Amazon.

Again, the show details are:

Friday, October 10, 6PM
Chairlift @ Reward

See ya there!
