CONGRATULATIONS to our four finalists in our Battle of Original Music: Colors in the Air, the Frontline, Hunger Anthem and the Tins!
These four acts will square off live and in person at Nietzsche’s on Friday, November 27. The band that gets the most votes that night wins a live-action video produced by Artvoice and a slot in the BOOM Grand Finale. The winner of the Grand Finale will walk off with a digital recorder courtesy of our friends at Guitar Center and a whopping cash prize.
As usual, we're still accepting registrations from bands interested in participating. Round 3 (of four) will begin in early December, so get your submissions in!
Welcome back to the fourth annual installment of our online Battle Of Original Music, or BOOM for short. (Get it?) For those of you who are unfamiliar with our battle of the bands for the information age, here's how it works: Local original music acts visit Artvoice.com and submit a photo, an mp3, and fill out a brief questionnaire.
Each week, two bands will be featured on-line and in the pages of Artvoice, and our readers will vote on their favorites. Every four weeks, we gather up the top vote getters for a live quarter-final showdown. Crowds in attendance cast a vote for their favorite, and a quarter-final winner will be crowned for the round. After four rounds, we bring all our quarter-final winners back for a grand finale. The winner of that takes home even more great prizes and is immortalized with eternal fame on Artvoice.com!
BOOM! IV - Band Registration
One of the first pre-requsites to being selected to participate is a valid submission! Make sure to follow the directions carefully, and refer to the help page if you require any clarification. If in doubt, feel free to contact the webmaster (webmaster@artvoice.com) if you have any questions. Good Luck!
You can still check out all the great bands who participated last year in the archives. We've also got video from all of the quarter final events, as well as the grand finale. One last shout-out to last year's winners - Type Relevant - well deserved!
