Win Tickets to Hear Some Real Friends This Friday!

Everybody is working for the weekend, there is nothing like a little quality time with your real friends to bring your stress level down and help your remember who you really are. This Friday at The Crofoot you bring a friend to see Real Friends courtesy of our friends over at Fusion Shows. Real Friends will be in town alongside Neck Deep, Cruel Hand, and Have Mercy and we have a pair of tickets to get one of our readers and one of their friends in for FREE!

If you are not familiar with Real Friends, check out their latest video for the song "I Don't Love You Anymore" here.

These guys remind me of the pop punk/emo bands that I grew up listening to with a modern twist.  They also take really cute band seflies and have a fun blog that you can read here.

Tickets for the show are only $15 and can be purchased here. The Crofoot is located at 1 South Saginaw Street in Pontiac, MI. Doors for the event are at 6:30 pm. If you would like to enter to be our lucky ticket winner, please email your full name to hipindetroit@gmail.com with Real Friends in the subject. We will draw a winner the morning of the show and send them details on how to claim their prize. In the meantime, keep dreaming of the weekend and spending time with your real friends, it makes those work days a lot easier!

Win Tickets to Senses Fail This Saturday @ The Magic Stick

I know a lot of you out there are not fans of the Metro Times Blowout and are looking for anything else to do this weekend. Here at Hip in Detroit we wanted to not only tell you about a cool show going on this Saturday at the Magic Stick, but also give you a chance to win tickets to that show.

This weekend on March 4th at 8 p.m., Senses Fail will be playing with Such Gold, Real Friends and Major League. Senses Fail is on tour for their latest album that was released in March called Renacer, or in Spanish “to be reborn”. Senses Fail has taken their brand of American post hardcore to a new level and they want to share it with you.

To enter to win tickets just email us at hipindetroit@gmail.com with your full name and the subject line #ILoveBlackIrisBooking. For the hardcore fans who want to go that extra mile I have a little treat. I will enter your name into the drawing two times if you post it on any form of social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and tag both us and Black Iris Booking in the post/tweet/or picture. That means you have two chances to have your names pulled out of the hat on Saturday morning. Winners will be contacted early on Saturday and their name will be on the guest list plus one when they get to the door.

Keep checking back for more contests and giveaways every week!
