This Saturday, four original local acts will square off in a live Battle of Original Music as they vie for the fourth and final spot in the upcoming BOOM Grand Championship. Dali’s Ghost, Constant Climax and London vs. New York have alrready won their places on that bill. The winner Saturday night will walk off with $5,000 plus other cool prizes thanks to our generous sponsors Mighty Taco and Jack Daniels. Who will be the last band to qualify? Juxtaposse, Fresh Guac, Qualia and the Painkillers will all plug in at Nietzsche’s and pull out all the stops to impress the crowd this weekend. Everyone through the door gets one ballot to cast for the band of his or her choice. The act that collects the most votes wins recording time courtesy of our friends at Trackmaster and CDs of that recording thanks to ESP CD and DVD Manufacturing—plus the coveted final spot in the upcoming BOOM Grand Championship and the chance to walk with $5,000 for a 40-minute set that night. Come out and support some of the best our local music scene has to offer, and cast your vote to send one more act to the big show.

9pm. Nietzsche’s, 248 Allen Street. (886-8539). $5.
