You're probably familiar with indie rock outfit Cold War Kids through one of their hit singles, as "Hang Me Up to Dry" and "In Hospitals", both from their debut album Robbers and Cowards, have experienced heavy rotation on radio stations across America.

Hey, there's peanut butter in my awesome! There's awesome in my peanut butter! Do you like cheap tickets? Do you like X? Here are 2 great tastes that taste great together!

If you act quickly TODAY ONLY, you can get TWO for ONE tickets to see LA punk legends X play at the Market Showbox on Friday, April 10th (with Steve Soto & The Twisted Hearts and The Heels), for the 21 and over set, or the all ages show on Saturday, April 11 (with Visqueen and Steve Soto & The Twisted Hearts).

To take advantage of this fabulous deal, go to www.showboxonline.com, and enter the word "wildgift".

If you are feeling democratic, go to www.xtheband.com and vote for your favorite X song to be included on the setlist for the night you are planning. Perhaps this will help prevent what I like to refer to as the "Freebird Effect," where some drunken clown shouts the same request over and over, usually right in your ear.

One girl in particular became so incredibly ecstatic she whirled around and made out with a young lady behind her. It was rad to see someone experience music so completely they lose their minds for a moment.
