UPDATE: This contest is now closed, the winner has been notified by email.

Sure, the “supergroup” moniker is thrown around a bit too often, but it’s kind of unavoidable when talking about The New Pornographers, who have established themselves as an institution of Canadian indie rock. You can keep yourself pretty busy just listening to the Pornographers’ side/main projects, from the A.C. Newman solo albums, Neko Case, Immaculate Machine, Destroyer, Swan Lake, etc., but for me nothing beats a good listen to Mass Romantic, their debut album released in 2000. And who can ignore Twin Cinema, which we ranked as our eighth greatest album of the last decade. There is no shortage of great music released by the collective and what’s more they’ve just released a new album, Together, and are ready to tour Canada once again.

To win two tickets to see The New Pornographers perform with The Dodos and The Dutchess and the Duke at the Sound Academy on June 15, bashfully send an email to contests@cavacool.com with “I love porn, but only the new stuff” or something like that in the subject line and your full name somewhere in the body. Your secret will be safe with me. This contest closes Sunday, June 13 at midnight. For more info or to see the ridiculous amount of great shows coming up in Toronto this summer, visit Collective Concerts.
