This is a show that could easily be slept on, we think, but everybody really needs to throw themselves on the grenade, suck it up, and venture out on a November Tuesday night to see the one and only Euros Childs. Euros spent the last decade or so fronting the Welsh folk-rock-psych band Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, which despite the Phish-tastic name, were utterly brilliant in too many regards to get into here. He’s out on his own now, on tour with David Kilgour (himself a legend, having been in The Clean, et al.), and he hits Johnny Brenda’s tomorrow. As for what it actually sounds like, well, Childs is a pop classicist at heart on par with Colin Bluntstone of the Zombies (he’s got the vaguely smoky, otherworldly croon as well) but he’s also wide-eyed and really just a musical pleasure. Anybody could get into this and we don’t understand why everybody already isn’t. Dig:

Sold? We thought you’d be. So to enter to win tickets, send an email to ihopeiwin[at]philebrity[dot]com with “POODLE ROCKIN” in the subject header. Winners will be notified around noon tomorrow, and free hugs will be given out to anyone we see at this show. That’s how good Euros Childs makes us feel.
