Great news, just wanted to share!

Sign in to disble this ad
My band was involved in a battle of the bands last night in eastern pennsylvania. We competed against 4 other bands for $2000 to spend at the local music store sponsoring the event. To make a long story short, we won! The only reason I'm posting this is because I feel like this is some sort of small validation for our years of work in this band. My singer and I have been playing together for about 5 years now. Over that time we are on our third drummer and I think 10th guitar player. We have been denied the ability to compete in this contest for many years and were excited to even have the ability to compete this year. Im very excited about this and wanted to share with some people who can probably relate to the long road of lots of work with little recognition!
