Win Tickets: Bikini Creature Beach Feature ($30, Mar 31-April 3)
Bikini Creature Beach Feature, is a satirical take on anything from the Frankie & Annette 1960′s beach party movies, grind-house biker flicks, to the B-horror genre; a bouillabaisse of characters like the one-gorilla wrecking crew Randy Bananas, sexy, pregnant and dune-buggy obsessed wiccan, The Sand Witch, the shambling & acrobatic terror of The Sea Monster, and a gaggle of bikini clad beach girls! To win, comment on this post why you would like to attend.

Win Tickets: DOM, Heavy Hawaii, Jeffrey Jereusalem ($20, April 1)
While many bands suffer with identity crises, Worchester, Massachusetts four-piece Dom has their priorities straight. “We want to be the Lady Gaga of garage rock,” proclaims Dominic, the 23-year-old mastermind behind the buzzed-about twisted-pop rockers, who have stampeded into music world consciousness like a herd of irritable rhinos. To win, comment on this post why you would like to attend.

Win Tickets: April Fools Day Ball w/ The Quick and Easy Boys, Yogoman Burning Band ($16, April 1)
The Quick & Easy Boys shows are an interactive party with electrifying stage antics and profound musical moments as the trio pours out every ounce of their energy, leaving nothing behind.

Win Tickets: Fareed Haque’s Math Games, Pocket ($20, April 2)
Heading to Goodfoot Lounge this weekend, Fareed is simply one of the world’s finest guitarists.

His newest band, Math Games, promises to push the envelope of electro-funk dance bands while respecting the jazz roots from which he comes. To win, comment on this post why you would like to attend.

Win Tickets: Heartless Heathers vs Break Neck Betties SOLD OUT Bout ($28, April 2)
