GRIMES + BORN GOLD @ CATS PURRING DUDE RANCH 3/3/12

We're honored to be presenting two strikingly original and thrilling acts at the Cats Purring Dude Ranch this Saturday 3/3/12.  GRIMES is the highly acclaimed and inventive electronic pop project of Montreal's Claire Boucher.  Her brilliant new album VISIONS is out now on 4AD.  (We strongly encourage you pick it up from that new record store that's opening in town.)

Openers BORN GOLD have been to Oxford, MS twice under their previous moniker Gobble Gobble.  If you were at either of those shows, you're aware of the high energy synth blasts, blissful pop hooks, and kaleidoscopic theatrics these dudes bring with them everywhere they go.

Doors are at 10pm, and bands start at 11pm sharp.  Cover charge is $7.  BYOB.  This venue is our home, so please be respectful of our space and our neighbors.  We absolutely do not tolerate drinking & driving to and from our parties.  We always have taxi info on hand.  This show is going to be epic, so don't say we didn't warn you. See y'all Saturday!

MP3:
GRIMES - "GENESIS"
BORN GOLD - "ALABASTER BODYWORLDS"
