That is why we're excited that the Loft is giving away five pairs of tickets to the band's show at the Loft this Saturday--especially since Austin instrumental act Balmorhea will be opening the night. Want the tickets? Be among the first five to email Pete right now with the phrase "Not The Kissing Disease" in the subject line for a chance to win one of the pairs. Good Luck!

Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners!
