It’s finally here! A few weeks ago, PopWreckoning announced that we would be hosting a battle of the bands competition to help bring local Kansas acts to play at a national showcase at the 2010 SXSW. 
That showcase is happening TONIGHT!
These are the bands and set times of the bands playing tonight:
6:00 pm – Dreams are for Rookies
7:00 pm – The Grisly Hand
8:00 pm – Olympic Size
9:00 pm – Capybara
10:00 pm – Roman Numerals
11:00 pm – Thieves
Whether you are in KC and planning on going to the show or elsewhere in the country, click on those links for the above ands. They are all fantastic and we’d bring them all to SXSW if we could.
However this is a competition and to keep things fair, we will have a special guest judge selecting the winner’s of the evenings events. Jeff Tafolla from Saddle Creek Records will have this honor.
The winners of the showcase will then play at SXSW during the ATN Showcase, the only showcase where bands can be sure their music will be heard by MTV. This showcase also helps the great Invisible Children organization.
There are still tickets will be $10 at the door. A $2 minors fee will be added to anyone 18 and above, but under the age of 21. Come on out and support a great night of local music at the Beaumont Club.
We hope to see you there!
