Rockn to Lockn--Local band contest

i bet those bands are glad keller williams didnt enter the contest, lol

I see last year you had some polls on different subjects. I wonder if the person that set that up can set up one so we can vote on the bands along the way? That would be way cool. And who knows who will be watching & take interest.

well, if you insist... i guess i could force myself to go get drunk and watch some shows

This is a great idea, I'm working on implementing it now. Sorry, it took me a bit to get around to doing it. I've been busy at work and I've been doing basically all of my browsing via my phone; I should probably just get the proboards app, because creating polls and doing administrative stuff is difficult on a mobile.

Just an FYI - all board members should have the ability to create polls, so if there are any other polls of threads you'd like to see, feel free to create them! I'm all for people creating new threads for anything they'd like to discuss. In fact, we still need threads for a few of the artists that have already been announced . . .

Second round Rockn bands announced. Once again I've heard one of the four. Kings of Belmont, Horsehead, Steal the Prize, and The Trongone Band. Kings of Belmont are from Charlottesville. They are fine and fun to see, not a huge standout to me. I'll let somebody else work on a poll.

Seen Kings of Belmont before at a fest and they were fun. Maybe Trongone but I'm not sure.

Trogone Band won the second round so they are in the finals along with PBR. Makes me wish I'd tried a little harder to see them.

Just a bump for this thread...the third round is tomorrow night. Not going to make it myself but the artists are as shown above. Again I've only seen Kings of Belmont.

Final is August 9th. I thought there were four preliminary rounds but apparently The Northerners have been given a bye into the final round along with PBR, Trogone Band, and 3rd round winner. Final is also at the Jefferson.

I dunno...Love Canon last year were a cover band, and they're pretty cool. What about Bustle?

That's just 'cuz Bobby never wanted to write any tunes and when he did they weren't always very jam-able.

Also, it depends what the other options are. In that vein I give you

PBR:



Trongone Band:



to be fair these are mostly covers I am seeing as well

The Northerners:



hard to find too much from them

Of the four I really like PBR although the total time I've spent listening to all four is very small.  

I hope the meet n greet doesn't get scheduled in the middle of your beauty rest!
