GRD Battle of the Bands Update
Entries accepted thru June 21

Update-June 6: The GRD BOB entry period has been extended through June 21. Bands not yet entered may still do so and be considered for voting by the public.

GRD would like to thank the Battle of the Bands presentation sponsor, 97X and Rock 104.9 for coming to us and suggesting the entry time frame be extended.

GRD also wishes to thank Q106.5 and MAC 93.1 for supporting the GRD BOB event though it’s own website and local music forums.

 “Its good to see that other radio stations want to support homegrown music, and the Battle of the Bands concert,” said JJ Koehler, co-chairman of the event.  “It is very gracious of all the radio sponsors for GRD to get on board with the show, because it’s really about recognizing the great talent that’s out there and giving them a professional forum to show what they have,” he concluded.

 Many new bands submitted their entry forms over the weekend, and will be posted on the BOB page so that the fans can check out their music, and vote for their favorite bands. The five finalists will be determined by fan voting on the GreatRiverDays.com website, ending on July 5. Entered bands are encouraged to “get out the vote” so that they can make the final five.

Current results as of 6PM, June 6 2010:
Marmaduke – Cranial Decay – Get Off Me – Pour Boyz – Grorm
Nihil Seraph and Paradise Fears are only 8 votes from the cut, and new bands Blushing Gun, Blue Sky, Lethal Injektion have also joined the mix. Voting will continue through Midnight, July 5 2010.
