Not only that, submit a video of you playing some cowbell (more cowbell!) and you could win a chance to kick their ass at bowling after the show. Not from London? Don’t worry, Noisey will foot your travel and hotel costs if you’re coming from anywhere in the US / Europe.

Noisey’s Special Engagements with the Rapture

So Vice had one in Austin, Berlin and even Beiijing But now Dell and Intel’s Special Engagements are coming to London, with The Rapture no less.

You can enter for the chance to win tickets on the microsite (link below). Better yet, Noisey, Dell and Intel will fly one special fan over from anywhere in Europe or the US to play cowbell in ‘House of Jealous Lovers’ live during the show as one of the three ‘Special Engagements’. All you have to do is submit an audition tape of you playing the cowbell and fans will vote on whose is the best! Engagement three gives fans the chance to design a t-shirt that will be sold at the event.
