Last Saturday night we had a battle of the bands in our gym. Eleven bands competed. It was actually a really awesome show with great music from the artists, and a quality lighting and sound equipment set-up.
The winner was a metal band called "Shank"...they were awesome.
In the first round, they played a Godsmack song, Awake. They also performed an original. In the finals though, they played Enter Sandman almost perfectly. Their victory song was Bodies, by Drowning Pool. Overall, I really liked these guys and their music selection.
Second place was a band called "A Single Second". They are mostly a punk band...and three of the band members are good friends of mine. They played an original in both the first round and the finals...that really impressed me. They also played "Is she really going out with him?" by Guttermouth in the first round.
Finally, a Rock band called Teen Angst got third. They played an original in the first round, along with The Darkness' "I believe in a thing called love". They did alright on those two, but the final song (Keep on Believing by Journey) blew me away. It was amazing.
Anyway, I just thought I'd tell you guys about all this, especially since the winners were metal, punk, and rock.
I love events like this.
Here are a few pictures of Shank during their victory song:
btw, Steve, the lead singer, was so crazy that the judges made up a new category for him along with the other awards: "Best stage presence".
