Round 3 Week 3: TypeRelevant vs. Mock Syringa
The Frogbots join Free Henry! in the next live BOOM showdown at Nietzsche’s on March 27. Who will join them? Mock Syringa or TypeRelevant?
As always, check out both bands below and cast a vote for your favorite by Tuesday, March 10.
Remember that our IT guy is very savvy, and he’ll be monitoring the votes more closely than an election lawyer in Ohio. Don’t try to stuff the ballot. If you’re caught cheating, you can be disqualified. And there’s nowhere to appeal our decision.
Also, musicians, there’s still time to enter BOOM. Many more acts will be featured on these pages before the big Grand Finale. Visit the registration page to find out how to enter. JUST MAKE SURE YOU SEND US ALL THREE THINGS: SONG, PHOTO & QUESTIONNAIRE. Meatloaf tells us that two out of three ain’t bad, but I’m telling you that two out of three SUCKS! Because we can’t include you in our contest without all the required materials.
The rewards for the winners are great. They will receive a recording package from Audio Magic, and 100 CDs of that recording from ESP CD & DVD Manufacturing. The four winners of our live quarterfinals will 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: Nietzsche’s, ESP, WBFO and Audio Magic. They all play a vital role in making our town a hotspot of original music. But we can’t make msic without u. So cast your vote. And may the best band win.
Voting is Closed for these bands.

At one of our gigs during out stint at Merlins our sound man left the venue out of sheer frustration.
