Next weekend is pretty much early Christmas, since the Blue Scholars are playing next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and we have a pair of tickets to give away for each of the first two shows.

The first show, Thursday the 18th, has Blue Scholars with openers Common Market and The Physics, which will be a night of Seattle hiphop at its finest, mixing dance parties with politics with plain old fun. It’ll be the warmest room in town.

Friday the 19th will bring back Common Market and also give you Truckasaurus, whose electro-redneck insanity has to be heard in person to be believed.

Send an email to seattle.metblogs@gmail.com, along with the night that you’d like to go, and we’ll pick a winner for each by early next week.

(On Saturday the 20th Blue Scholars will be playing with Common Market and lunatic geniuses Mad Rad. Tickets for all three shows are $15, Thursday and Friday are all-ages, Saturday 21+.)
