Hey Kids, Got a guitar? We bet you do. Well, Gothamist wanted to give you a nice big heads up on the CMJ Battle of the Bands.
CMJ looks For Brooklyn's Best on June 5 at Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza presenting the Five-Borough Battle of the Bands. Ten music groups of any genre will be chosen to perform live. Five judges, including Adam Shore (Vice Records) and Danny Simmons (Def Poetry) will choose one Grand Prize Winner plus a First and Second Runner Up. The Grand Prize Winner will receive a premier performance at the 2005 CMJ Music Marathon in New York City and at the 2005 Brooklyn New Music festival...
The Head Set won last year, we interviewed them at the time - a few days prior to their opening slot for Sonic Youth at Irving Plaza. Not a bad gig (although after we checked it out we left for this show). So sign up by May 15th for your chance to be heard. Enter here, and we'll interview you later.
