Cobra Starship plays a 2008 show.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — A pair of East Coast bands with new albums make their way to Club Nokia this week, as Boys Like Girls and Cobra Starship headline a full lineup on Tuesday, October 27. Tickets are on sale now, but we've got a few pairs to give away courtesy of Goldenvoice.

Boys Like Girls released its second album, "Love Drunk," on September 8. The Boston-based pop rock band rose to prominence on the strength of its earlier self-titled release.

New York's Cobra Starship released its third album, "Hot Mess," on August 11.

Opening are A Rocket to the Moon and The Maine, who also opened on the "Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour" that Boys Like Girls co-headlined with Good Charlotte in 2008.

Want to see the show? We've got five pairs of tickets to give away. Just leave a comment letting us know why you should win. Make sure to leave contact info via email email or Facebook. Contest closes Monday at 8pm.

I am a huge fan of Cobra Starship and Boys Like Girls. I've never been to a concert before, and since times are hard now I have no way of affording to go. It would seriously make MY ENTIRE LIFE if I can go. I really love Cobra Starship, Boys Like Girls, The Maine, and A Rocket To The Moon!

Kevin Tu on October 24, 2009, at 03:26PM – #8

I would love to win because I am a huge fan of all of the bands, and I wanted to go as soon as I heard about this tour, but I just don't have money to spend right now. I've never seen BLG or ARTTM live, and I think that Cobra and The Maine put on amazing shows. I also want to watch BLG and Cobra perform songs off their new albums, which I can't stop listening to.

I should win because the only thing I wanted this year was to see Cobra Starship, but the tickets sold out before I could afford to buy them. Also, the last time I went to see Cobra Starship, I broke my arm right before the show started and I had to go to the hospital, and I was forced to miss my favorite band play live. I think about that day every day. It was the worst day of my life. It was a year ago.

Please consider me as a guest to win! Please! And I wish this included a meet and greet witch would be beyond dreams coming true!

WOW! It would be amazing for me to win this contest, because I have all the Boys Like Girls and Cobra Starship Albums and I love both of the bands equally! They make me happy when I listen to their music and I love everything about them. They have great style, music, looks, and stage presence! I would be so happy if I won this contest. It would be awesome and help me forget about my problems. They seem like wonderful people and I would love to meet them and go to this show. I would love to go to this concert, but I don't have much money to spend. Winning this contest would be the best thing that ever happened to me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE BOYS LIKE GIRLS AND COBRA STARSHIP FOREVER!

FANGS UP! COBRA STYLE! PEACE, LOVE, AND MUSIC

I would like to win these tickets for my son. His B-day is in November and would love to surprise him.He loves concerts and is very interested in becoming a musician himself. He plays different instruments and I believe that by experiencing different musicall events, that will help him to prepare himself in the world of music. I believe that these are two good reasons why I should win the tickets.

Thanks!

I've been wanting to see CS since Viva la Cobra came out. They are one of my absolute favorite bands. I had my chance last April during the BND tour. My mom and my two bestfriends were going to drive to Houston from Corpus Christi. Once we were ALMOST in Houston, I decided to check my twitter to see any updates from the venue. I go to their twitter, and it says, 'FALL OUT BOY CANCELLED!' and my eyes just exploded with tears. I was finally going to see my FAVORITE band and it was cancelled. That was my worst nightmare. I really want to see them and experience and actual concert. I'm actually going to be in Dallas this Halloween, but I couldn't afford any tickets. If I won, I would be so happy. PLEASE pick me<3

Okay. Well first of all, I loveeee both of these bands. Boys Like Girls and Cobra Starship have both influenced the music that i play and create everyday. I would hate to miss the opportunity to see these awesomely amazing bands. My sister is going to the concert and in really jealous of her. and plus, i don't want her to rub it in my face when she gets home because it's obviously gonna be an extraordinary show. But yeahh, please pick me.

Thank you for reading, Alex Chavez

Im not really here to win these tickets for myself because I already have my ticket. Im here to try to convince you guys to pick me so that I can give the tickets to my brother. The reason is that he was the one who got me into cobra starship and he is the reason for all the music i listen to. He doesnt have enough money to buy his ticket and it would be an awsome surprise if I won those ticket so I can give it to him. I feel bad that he cant go with me and I know it would make his day. So I hope you would pick me, well not just me but for my brother.
