Twerps! Even their name is fun to say. Twerps, Twerps, Twerps.

The Australian band is playing at Mississippi Studios this Thursday, April 2, and while you'll be able to read all about them in tomorrow's Mercury, here's something for RIGHT NOW: We're giving away a pair of tickets to see Twerps (Twerps!), and you would very much like to win them.

To enter, send an email to contest at portlandmercury dot com with "Send me to Twerps!" in the subject line. Please include your first and last name in the email. We'll select a winner at random and send him or her, plus a guest, off to the show. This is a quickie, so respond by 3 pm tomorrow (Wednesday) in order to be eligible. Good luck!

If you're as-yet-undecided as to the level of Twerpitude you'd like in your life, allow this tune from their fantastic new album Range Anxiety to convince you.

Non-winners can buy tickets here, and they should, as the show also includes La Luz, Woolen Men, and Will Sprott.
