We Have Our Round 4 Finalists!

CONGRATULATIONS to our four finalists in our Battle of Original Music: Glass Hero, The Breathing Tree, Deja Fuze, and Jimmy Meat and the Potatoes.

These four acts will square off live and in person at Nietzsche’s on Friday, February 26. The band that gets the most votes that night wins a live-action video produced by Artvoice and a slot in the BOOM Grand Finale, scheduled for Friday, March 5 at the Tralf Music Hall.

Three bands have already secured a spot in the Grand Finale by gaining the most votes at our three earlier preliminary battles. They include the Albrights, Hunger Anthem, and Photos of Wagons. One of the four bands to the right will join them. Then, the winner of the Grand Finale at the Tralf will walk off with a digital recorder courtesy of our friends at Guitar Center and a whopping cash prize.

Past B.O.O.M. Grand Champions include Dali’s Ghost and TypeRelevant.

Since 2006, the Artvoice Battle of Original Music has provided exposure to hundreds of area artists, through our weekly online contests and our live shows. We couldn’t have done it without the generous sponsors who’ve supported our contest with their time, talent, and treasure over the years. We’ve given away everything from musical gear, to recording time, to packaged CDs, to tattoos! Plus over $10,000 in cash. But the thing never would have lasted a week without all the musicians who are out there working to create their own unique sound, and craft their own sincere message to share with us. And of course, it would all be for naught were it not for the great, enthusiastic local music fans who’ve visited our Web site and packed the venues at our live shows. We’re lucky to have such a happening scene, and Artvoice is proud to play a little part in it.

So we’ll see you all at Nietzsche’s on February 26, where one of the bands to your right will win the coveted final slot in our BOOM Grand Finale. May the best band win.
