It’s time for Portland to welcome South African superstars (and former BestNewBands.com Artists in Residence) The Parlotones, and we want to help fans in the Pacific Northwest meet the band and see a show for free!

The Parlotones will be playing the Doug Fir next Sunday, March 27, and you and a friend could be there. Leave us a comment telling us why you’re the most deserving candidate, and we’ll choose a winner next Wednesday and announce him or her on the site on Thursday. The winner and his or her companion will get to meet the band during their sound check before the show, then attend the show for free!

(Southern West Coasters, don’t fret! There’ll be one more chance to win a meeting with the band: we’ll be giving away two tickets & a meet & greet in Los Angeles next Monday, so stay tuned!)

Portlanders, if you’re over 21 (because it’s a 21+ show, y’all), leave your comments now, and tell your friends to do the same! Show The Parlotones some love!

And a little taste to get you going…
