Congratulations to our So Many Dynamos contest winners: Justin Price, Chris Tucker, Jenn Miller, Dan O'Saben and Chris Melkus. See the band on Thursday night at Vintage Vinyl (9 p.m.) and on Saturday night at the Firebird (8 p.m.). Bam.

Today is finally the day that you can head to the store and snag So Many Dynamos' Vagrant Records debut, The Loud Wars, the album that's nearly two years in the making! Courtesy of Vagrant, I have *five* sweet prize packages to give away: a copy of the new album, a limited-edition, numbered, colored 7" featuring the RAC remix of "New Bones" and two tickets to the band's CD release show at the Firebird on June 27. Whew!

To enter, leave a comment with your full name and a valid email address and your favorite SMD memory -- whether it be a memorable show moment, a favorite song or the first time you saw the band (or, hell, its previous groups, Saving Boy Wonder and Children's Audio) by 10 a.m. Monday, June 22. Winners will be chosen that day and notified as soon as possible.

Incidentally, the band is going to be doing a special performance at Vintage Vinyl at 9 p.m. on Thursday, June 25 too: The Loud Wars in its entirety, from start to finish. To get into that performance, all you need to do is purchase Wars at Vintage Vinyl before that day. It'll make a great father's day gift, right?
