Why is this worthy of my time and money?: We've got a lot of time for the way Kotki Dwa do things. The way they made an album, all by 'emselves. The way they released it, all on their ownsomes. The way that when every label you can mentioned chucked a load of money at their feet and asked them to sign on the dotted line, they went, 'nah', and opted to stay and finish school. They clearly aren't in it for the money, then. So why are they in it? Well, it must be the music - the ever evolving, synth smacking, guitar plucking, beat bending music that's zany enough to be called youthful and yet sorrowful and considered to an extent that it wouldn't be wrong to call it alarmingly mature, either. Sure, there's been one album already, so seeing these shows doesn't mean you were there at the start of something, but you'll be there before pretty much everyone else.
