As you have likely heard, this week marks the release of the long awaited debut LP from the Bay Area's own Wallpaper. (Check out our coverage at Sfist!)
Our friends at Eenie Meenie were kind enough to hook us up with a pair of tickets to giveaway to their show Saturday with Hot Tub and 40Love. This is their official record release party, so should be great times.
And when you email, let us know if it is cool to add you to the epicsauce weekly wooot email list. We think you will dig the ad-free / no allegiance flavor.

No excuses… go see the epicsauce favorite Tussle at the Haight Street Fair (FREE). Myspace says they go on the “Masonic Stage” at 3:30.
SF’s Tussle is everything that is fucking awesome about early 80s post-punk, yet with a foot firmly set in the more contemporary DFA-esque scene. Dancey ass shit, but think more solid rhythmic grooves than face-melting bangers.
And while an outdoor stage at 3:30 is probably not the optimal venue to see them (i.e. not a dark low ceilinged room where the trio rocks out on the same level as the crowd), it should still be a solid affair.
Still trying to lock down more info on the lineup.. looks like Hot Tub will be there as well. Check back for more info as the week progresses.
Warning: If it is anything like two years ago, this seems to be the only truly enforced alcohol ban in the city. Hide your shit.
Wallpaper is playing the Blow Up party at Rickshaw Stop, which is a guaranteed great time. This is a rare act that can share a stage with Boys II Men and Flostradamus over the course a couple months, and get a positive reaction from both fan bases. Frontman “Ricky Reed” (Eric from Facing New York/Locale AM) lays down pure sex auto-tuned vocals over pure sex electro beats, both held together by the tight live drums of Arjun Singh.
Honestly, these guys are some hot shit – while hugely entertaining, they lead with their music, managing to hold your interest well after the novelty wears off.
