Battle of the Bands field narrowed to final five
The Eugene Battle of the Bands competition, presented by the UO Cultural Forum, is entering its final stretch. After the preliminary rounds at the EMU this past Friday, student judges narrowed a pool of 30 local bands down to five that will play at an all-ages final show this Friday at the Eugene Vet’s Club for the championship title.
Fivesouth, Grynch, alterEGO, OPIE and Rhetoric Tuesday are the finalists, along with Gel, which will be acting as an alternate band. Bands were scored in the preliminary rounds on professionalism, audience favor, stage presence and musicianship. The winning band will be chosen at the Vet’s Club by the judging panel and concertgoers.
The Eugene Vet’s Club is located at 1626 Willamette St. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $5 and T-shirts are on sale for $10.
