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.
The battle of the bands kicks
off around 8:30 on each night, and
cover is only $4 for six bands.
AnNam does not serve alcohol,
but both shows are BYOB.
