BATTLE OF THE BANDS 2010 at the 109!;
Wow, what a night at the battle of the bands 8/28/2110 at Club 109.
All the bands could have one and it was said the judges had a really hard time! (Who said Simon's Job is easy)
She's a Kreeper - a very good Punk / Ska band (even added a rap element.) Nice mix and the drummer stood out and was an amazing showman! The guitarist and bassist swapped instruments for a tune and these guys could have easily been a part of the finals. Look for these guys at the Van's Warped Tour in years to come.
Driving Alexis - This hardcore act of youngsters are the future of this style. They are young and talented. With a little more polish, like coordinated and looking at the audience a bit more they are a force to be recon with. This comes with playing out more.
The Finalists:
Aloretta - The hard edge band commanded the audience from the get go. Well choreographed songs got the pit going. The guitarists even threw in a little Van Halen flare which added to the musician ship of the well rehearsed band. If they can match this performance next week, they could be the band to beat.
Eyes on Aurora - These five hard rockers are the youngest band to make the finals. Its hard 
to believe that the drummer has only been playing for 2 years the judges commented. Tight and will only get better with more live experience. the female bassist holds her own. With a bit more of a coordinated stage show these guys could surprise!
