Hope everyone is ready to tease their hair up and rock some leg warmers, because Obscura is back with their 2nd annual "Love is a Battlefield" Dance-Off. DJ Roya and DJ Funkfinger will be spinning their signature mix of dancey New Wave and Britpop all night, but it's your best Pat Benatar impression that could land you tickets to see her upcoming gig on April 2nd at Celebrity Theater.

The night will also feature CD giveaways- you could score a copy of the new Beady Eye (Liam Gallagher of Oasis) record, free screening tickets to new sci-fi comedy Paul and Giamatti vehicle Win Win, or ticket giveaways for a whole host of shows, including Devotchka, Starfucker and both South By Stateside events.

Forgot how to rock the Benatar shimmy and shake? The official video after the break ought to remind you.
