Lets face it, Ani’s shows are less like concerts and more like religious services. For over twenty years and across eighteen albums, Ani’s been cultivating a kind of secular faith, of which she stands as the perfect embodiment. Her church combines a championing of queer and feminist liberation, a rejection of American consumer culture, a reclamation of the interconnectivity of people, and a demand for defiant self definition and expression. Ani shows provide true believers with the space to join in communion and sense what it will be like when the Revolution finally comes.

And while tickets are still available, we have a pair of tickets to the show to give away and to enter to win, leave us a comment telling us WHY YOU REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to go to the show. We’ll notify the winners by COB on Wednesday. Cool? Cool.
