Artvoice Boom Bash II

The time has come for the four local original acts you see to your left (clockwise from top left: Constant Climax, Square 9, the Waves, and Redwater) to haul their gear down to Mohawk Place, plug in, and blow our minds with a 40 minute set of music. They’ve earned this opportunity by winning two rounds in our weekly Artvoice.com Battle of Original Music—or BOOM for short. Over the last twelve weeks, thousands of local music fans logged on and voted for their favorite acts, based on a song, a photo, and a very brief bio. If that was the process of sifting through resumes, then this is the job interview. Audience members will each receive one paper ballot when they pay $1 admission. With that, they can cast their vote for the act they feel should win a recording package from Select Sound Studio, CDs of that recording courtesy of ESP CD and DVD Manufacturing, and $150 worth of ink for each band member provided by our friends at Art-n-Body Tattoo. Saturday’s winner will then join Dali’s Ghost as the second of four acts eligible to win at the year-end big BOOM Bash. Come check out some of the areas best acts at one of the city’s best venues—all for one measly dollar!

9pm. Mohawk Place, 47 East Mohawk Street (855-3931) $1
