You know those friends who can cheer you up no matter what mood you’re in? The ones who’s genuine love of you and everyone and everything is infectious and helps set everything right with the chemicals in your brain?

For me those ‘friends’ are not so much a couple on my holiday card list (it’d be a bit too stalker to add them to it, right?), but rather Matt & Kim, my favorite happy hip-electro-keys-punk-pop-indie-rad duo. The only thing that is helping me get through until the release of their third full-length album, Sidewalks, on November 2, 2010 (hear the brilliant new single) is counting down to their next visit to Seattle on September 28 at the Showbox.

If you want to go restore your faith in humanity with me, we’ve got a pair of tickets to giveaway to the show! To enter, email tig @ threeimaginarygirls.com with your name and the subject line MattAndKimAndAllOurFriends by Sunday, September 26 at noon. We’ll notify the winner soon thereafter.

To confirm that they are as great as you (and I) think they are, here’s a video of a recent show:
