Concert Preview: The Bravery

Many people love The Bravery, and why not? Their blend of rock, pop, electronic and retro style new wave keeps you on your feet. But don't count Brandon Flowers of The Killers as a fan. When The Bravery released their debut album a few years ago, Brandon claimed that the New York City based band was capitalizing on The Killers sound. Hmm ... I think there are some 80's bands that may say the same about you, Brandon. (We're not complaining, we like them both.)

The Bravery hits Warehouse Live tomorrow night. We're sure they'll be playing their hits ("An Honest Mistake,"Fearless", and "Unconditional"), but you'll also get many tracks from their latest CD The Sun and the Moon. Opening acts include London's power-pop band The Switches, Austin's Electric Touch, and fellow New Yorker's Your Vegas.

We have an extra pair of tickets just for you, so you can decide for yourself if The Bravery is legit or if they're just riding the retro wagon. Just send us an e-mail with Bravery in the subject line, your name and phone number to contest (at) houstonist (dot) com. The contest ends today at 5 p.m. The winner will be contacted tonight.
