Death Cab For Cutie: Win Tickets Plus Vedett Beer!

The JUE Music + Art Festival 2012 gets underway this Tuesday (Mar 6), and Death Cab For Cutie's gig at Tango this Saturday (Mar 10) is one of the highlights among a packed schedule featuring local and international bands and musicians, art exhibitions, film screenings and more. If you haven't picked up a copy of the March issue of the Beijinger, you can read our interview with Death Cab later this week on the blog, but right now we've got a chance for you to win a pair of tickets to the concert, courtesy of our Vedett-peddling friends at Duvel Moortgat Beijing.

As well as the tickets, Duvel Moortgat are throwing in a six-pack of Vedett for you to drink at home. Not a bad deal - so how do you win?

Vedett wants you to get your poetry hats on and write a haiku (that's a poem of three lines - 5 syllables, 7 syllables, then 5 syllables) featuring Death Cab For Cutie. The laws of haiku writing will be stringently applied, so no messing with the syllable count!

Leave your haiku as a comment in the space below this post. The deadline for entries is noon on Wednesday, March 7 - after that, the best entry as judged by us will win the tickets plus the six-pack.

For everyone who doesn't win, tickets for Death Cab For Cutie's gig at Tango on March 10 are still available and selling for RMB 360. Call 187 0113 3908 for more information.

Death Cab for Cutie
In college, got me some Booty
Booty is now wife

Death Cab for Cutie
Like all the finest wingmen
Got me to third base

death will march beijing
loosing transatlantic dreams
views unobstructed

Death Cab is not dead
Death Cab, always in my head
Death Cab is my med!

Olivier

Death Cab for Cutie at last
Missed in New York
Who knew I would find you here?

Death Cab, my old Friend
We are lost and then found here,
Bathing in Your Sound

Death comes in a blur,
Rushing lights screeching murder,
Cutie helled a cab.

Beijing disappoints
So many bands have canceled
Please, not “Death Cab” too.

Gazing at the beer
I raise my head and listen
Death Cab For Cutie

Haunting words rhythms
Postal death cab melodies
Sway bob bounce still GO!

Death Cab in the 'Jing
Will get polluted tonight
But the skies all clear

Beijing Cab cross town
Defy Death for they can't drive!
Just to see cutie

Whatever happened to bands with names that sounded like racehorses?

Hello Death my friend
What is your cab waiting for
Cutie needs it now

生活是一本书,有人拿来认真学习,有人放在厕所应急。

Looked for you today,
Beijing cutie, death by smog
Next cab you’ll be found

You Are a Tourist
You Can Do Better Than Me
Change 'You' into 'We'.

Death Cab for cutie
Doors Unlocked And Open
Stay Young, Go Dancing

Erguotou Death Cabs,
Foreigner Cuties, Smog, Cars…
Vedett! Salvation.

The taxi pulled over
