Monday, maybe you should go to the North Star Bar naked.
Or maybe not.
But, as Ida Maria's (MySpace) debut single, "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked," proves, it would certainly get her attention.
The Norwegian chanteuse, who Pandora tells us is a combination of Feist, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Kooks—and in whom we sometimes hear hints of Janis Joplin—will be at one of Phillyist's favorite music venues in the city this coming Monday, and one lucky Phillyist reader will win a pair of tickets to the show, plus a copy of Ida Maria's debut CD, Fortress Round My Heart.
The contest (after the jump) closes at 1 p.m. tomorrow (June 12), so enter soon. And no, you're no more likely to win if you enter naked.
Ida Maria with Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer and Jotto

Note: Please be sure to include your mailing address, as the contest winner will receive a CD in addition to tickets to Monday's show. If you win, a notification will be sent to you at the email address you provide in the contest form, right after the contest ends. So please keep an eye on your inbox and junk mail folder for a message from us, especially because giveaway is for a concert that is coming up soon. Thanks.



Hmmm, gotta say I hear more Debbie Harry than Janis Joplin.
I can hear that, too. But there's definitely a song early on in the album (I don't have it in front of me right now, so I'm not sure which) that has some serious Joplin-esque wailing on it.
