Gauntlet Hair has undergone a steady rise in indie-rock fame over the past few years — from a Lafayette duo playing small opening gigs to performing on the Main Stage as a quartet at this year’s Underground Music Showcase. Members of the band can often be seen checking IDs or milling about the Meadowlark (even after its well-received debut full-length on Dead Oceans in October 2011). As previously reported, the band is leaving Denver and relocating to Chicago, but not before a farewell show at the Larimer Lounge on Saturday. Force Publique and Tjutjuna will fill out the bill. Tickets for the show (presented by Reverb), $10-$15, are available at larimerlounge.com. Or you could win a pair for free below.
