This Friday, December 23rd, Chicago-based quintet Gold Motel will be returning to the Windy City to take the stage at Lincoln Hall for their Hometown Holiday Show.
The all ages event kicks off at 7:00 PM with Chicago-area openers Chaperone and Deserters. Grab your tickets online for just $12 , and get $5 off any Gold Motel merchandise at the show if you bring a toy donation for Toys for Tots Chicago.
The anticipation of this holiday show has put us in the giving spirit, so we’ve got your chance to win a copy of Gold Motel’s amazing 7” release, Talking Fiction, which contains “Cold Shoulders” B/W “Slow Emergency.”
Formed and fronted by Greta Morgan (The Hush Sound), Gold Motel has been in the studio working on a new full-length album, which is due out this Spring.
In 2009, ending a year long stay in Southern California, Morgan returned to Chicago with the tracks that would eventually become Gold Motel’s self-titled EP. Initially a solo project, the sunny, West Coast, pop songs soon demanded the sounds of full band.
With the addition of Chicago music veterans Dan Duzsynzski, Matt Schuessler, Adam Kaltenhauser, and Eric Hehr, the Gold Motel EP was released at the Beat Kitchen to a sold out show. Following the release of their first full-length studio album Summer House, Gold Motel has been playing across the country, even taking the stage at last year’s Lollapalooza.
For a chance to win a vinyl copy of Gold Motel’s Talking Fiction 7”, simply share with us in the comments of this post, your favorite group with a powerful leading lady. I’m going to have to go with TVD Chicago favorites, The Pack a.d.
Please remember, only those of you with mailing addresses in the continental US and Canada can enter! The winner will be chosen on Friday (12/23).
