Welsh songstress Cate Le Bon is at T.T. the Bear's tonight, and we have one pair of tickets to give away.

In last week's Phoenix, music writer Jonathan Donaldson profiled the Le Bon, writing:

"Listening to the music of the 28-year-old songwriter is pleasantly familiar . . . A cross-section of Le Bon's 2009 debut, Me Oh My, and her new follow-up, Cyrk (Control Group), reveals an interest in vintage UK folk and ominously minimal psychedelia.

I could probably come up with a bunch of reasons why tonight's show at T.T.'s -- featuring the cochlea-clawing Big Bear, Michigan title-holders Child Bite, partytime splatter-psych upstarts Horsehands and Local Band We'd Most Like To Donate Robes To, Ice Dragon -- is the show for you, but they'd all be pure speculation, and it's much easier just to ask Big Bear's Joel Roston.

Okay, so we’re not perfect. Back in April, we offered the breathless prediction “This will be your last chance to see UK’s the DUKE SPIRIT in a room as small as T.T. the Bear’s Place.” Wrong!
