This Saturday August 16th, DJ Kid Koala is in Toronto and will be playing a unique show at The Boiler House.

Located in the historic Distillery District, The Boiler House has occasionally staged jazz and blues acts, which Kid Koala can certainly delve into (as shown on some of his tracks such as Drunk Trumpet off the album Carpal Tunnel Syndrome).

Hailing from Montreal, the artist, musician, and comic illustrator has toured the world with acts such as the Beastie Boys, Radiohead, and Bjork.

Having seen Kid Koala a few times in the past, I can attest to how great his shows are. This humble and friendly DJ is simply a wonder to watch and listen to, as he works his magic on the turntables.

REMG has a special treat for theGentries readers as well. Five pairs of tickets have been made available to you. All you have to do to win is leave a comment in the comments section below.
