Kid Koala rules, dude. And as part of Noise Pop 2011 he’s playing Mighty on the 25th. You can get tickets here, OR win a pair by leaving a comment below explaining why you deserve them more than anybody else. We’ll pick a winner after 5pm Monday.

(By the way, Kid K. is also appearing on the 26th at this thing called the Noise Pop Culture Club where rock stars host workshops and stuff. We’ll be giving away tickets to that some time in the next couple weeks, so keep reading closely.)
