AnNam Tea House sponsors peaceful 'Battle of the Bands' Continued from page 5 "We tried similar showcases with the Brazos Music Association because it brings out people in the local music scene and allows younger bands to meet while get ting some good exposure," Claxton said. Nguyen said that he hopes that the battle of the bands will inspire other musicians to get together and play as well. Each band is scheduled to play 30 to 45 minutes. Shorter sets of five to ten minutes are scheduled in between the longer sets in order to allow time for each group to set up. Friday night's showcase will include ARB, Black Mass, Blood Oranges, Phooey, White Bread and X's For Eyes. Saturday night will highlight Dream Horse, George Marshall, the Implications, N' the Rutz, Poorhouse Monks, and Ty Southerland & 3rd Degree.
