And The Cool Kids, well, they're just what they sound like: new(-ish) to the game, but still pretty, um, cool.

Need more? OK. See what I wrote about The Cool Kids last time they rolled through town and blew up the Granada or check out what Observer contributor Lance Lester wrote about both acts this week.

(Also: Didn't notice this until today, but up-and-coming act The Knux opens--nice.)

If all this floats you're boat, then you're gonna wanna email me right about now with "Award Tour" in the subject line. First three people get a pair of tickets, courtesy of House of Blues. A word of warning, though: These are hard tickets, not will call tickets. You want 'em, you gotta be able to stop by our offices (at Oak lawn and Maple) before 5:30 this afternoon to get 'em.

~~Good luck!~~

Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners. --Pete Freedman
