Thanks to Big Day Out, we have a dbl pass to give away! To enter, email win@threethousand.com.au with the subject 'Nice one, officer Busted-head'
Description:
Devendra is playing at Billboard on January 27 (that Big Day Out sideshow we mentioned last week) and I'll bet you wish you hadn't shaved off that beard yesterday. You've got a chin like the toe of an old shoe. Why are you exposing it again? It's not good, Bro, not good at all. And why'd you cut off all your hair? Last week you looked like wild Jesus, all grown-out and cool.

Thanks to MIAF, we still have 1 dbl to give away! To enter, email win@threethousand.com.au with the subject 'From Adversity We Live!'
Description:
What is this Tropicalia business anyway? In "short" it's the geohistorical, sociopolitical point at which Brazilian jams, English rock, American imperialist influence, Brazilian nationalism, a military dictatorship, hippie counter-culture, Dadaism, Pop art, globalisation, industrialisation, post-colonial economy and possibly a touch of psychedelic drugs, warm weather and humour all collide in one glorious and genius super stimulant of colour and noise.

We have 1 dbl to give away! To enter, email win@threethousand.com.au with the subject 'pickled fish and Nordic good looks'
How much:
$32 +BF from here
Description:
The Swedes may seem all innocent like with their pickled fish and Nordic good looks, but don't let that fool you. Underneath their turtle necks and goofy accents are hearts of PURE EVIL intent on world domination. Their preferred weapon? An army of folky indie pop singers. The last couple of years alone we've had Jens Lekman, Lykke Li and Jose Gonzalez win international acclaim and sway public influence.

Description:
Evelyn Morris from Pikelet has it all figured out. She is skipping the Melbourne winter and is instead touring through the US and UK summer. That means two consecutive summers. Lucky bitch. But before Pikelet and her four piece jet off they are playing a farewell show at the Thornbury.

Melbourne's much-loved Pikelet (aka Evelyn Morris) is pretty famous.

This time around Ms Morris takes to the stage of the hallowed Spiegeltent for an uninterrupted one-hour set.

Changeling acoustic technologist, Pikelet, heads a topping mixed bill of indie whimsy tomorrow night at The Tote. Backed up by Sydney's self-described 'death folk' ensemble, Charge Group, highly recommended new bedroom pop brats, The Twerps, as well as Alex and the Ramps' little bro act, Extreme Wheeze, the night promises four bouts of twee-cosy, underplayed and dreamy Oz pop.

Description:
Finally, after much anticipation, Pikelet's very first headline show is set for this Friday at the Evelyn Hotel. (Could this be more perfect? Evelyn at the Evelyn. *Sighs*). For Pikelet virgins, Melbourne's wonder girl Evelyn Morris is a solo artist, producing fascinating, multi-tiered music using an old accordion, a guitar and a delay pedal.
