There is not one but TWO battle of the bands coming up! The first will take place on Friday, March 4th from 6:30-11:30pm, at the NWA Showcase in the mall. With a 5 dollar ticket, you’ll get the opportunity to rock out with local bands like Man versus Malice, Sins of Tomorrow, Element of November, as well as several other bands.
The second will take place at the Foundry in Joplin, MO. This concert is also $5 to get in, and will once again feature Man versus Malice as well as 9 other bands. This competition is broken into 3 rounds. The first round will take place April 15th at 6:00pm, the second round will begin at the same time the next day on April 16th, and the last and final round on April 23rd. Each band will play an intro followed by 4 songs, which will then be judged by a panel of five judges on various criteria such as their overall sound and crowd participation. Additionally, at the end of the night, everyone who attends will get to put in their vote for their favorite band, and all the votes will be added into the band’s scores to decide which ones will proceed to the next round.
