Battle of Original Music: Second Round Quarterfinalists

CONGRATULATIONS Marlon Brando, Pocahontas & Me! You collected the most votes this past week, so you proceed to our live quarterfinal at Nietzsche’s on February 13. With your win, you join The Nepenthe, Paul’s Grandfather, and Fashion Expo 1990 in the second of four live battles of original local bands.

Now the challenge for you all is to rally your fans to this mighty cause. For, at the show, each person through the door will receive one ballot on which to place his or her vote for his or her favorite band. At the end of the night, the ballots will be counted and a winner will be announced.

BOOM! Round 2 Quarterfinalists



Week 1: The Nepenthe


Week 2: Fashion Expo 1990


Week 3: Paul's Grandfather


Week 4: Marlon Brando, Pocahontas & Me

The four winners of our live quarterfinals will receive a recording package from our friends at Audio Magic, CDs of that recording from the great folks at ESP CD & DVD Manufacturing, and the opportunity face off in our Grand Finale in May. The winner that night will win a slot on WBFO’s Wednesday night concerts live from Allen Hall, a video produced by Artvoice, and a nice cash prize as well.

We’re happy to present this contest with the help of our great sponsors: Audio Magic, ESP, WBFO and Neitzsche's. They all play a vital role in making our town a hotspot of original music.

Some have asked, “Why hold this event on Friday the 13th?” Well, why not? Performing and appreciating live music is not for the superstitious nor the faint of heart. Come take a walk on the wild side with us at Nietzsche’s. Check out some great original acts, vote for your favorite, and don’t forget—Valentine’s Day starts at the stroke of midnight. How romantic is that? May the best band win!
