[BSOTM Contest: The Grates in Space! Land!] + Break
Well, well - who might those three be? Clearly the "I'm Australian" demeanor reveal them to be none other than the Grates. Ah yes, the Grates - one of Australia's most popular exports, closely trailing behind boomerangs and koalas. Having said that, chances are, by now, you're quite familiar with the tunage of this particular trio. If not, allow some time to familiarize yourself yeah? All right, now that you know who the Grates are, dont you want to go seem them? Well even though it's technically Alina's turn to start up a contest, I've decided to steal her turn and start my contest early since its rather time dependent. Time dependent you say? Why, that must mean it has to do with a contest. That's right, we're offering up another pair of guestlist spots, two pairs actually! So what's specifically up for grabs? Two lucky winners will get the chance to see the Grates at their November 14 show at Los Angeles' Spaceland, and they can bring a friend too! Sometimes I think I spoil you all. You know the rules, just email us your name with the subject "BSOTM Contest" or drop a line in the comments with your name and email address. This contest ends November 12 guys, so get to it and good luck!
