LULA Lake Worth Arts Hosts Battle of the Bands, 9/8 & 9

LULA Lake Worth Arts, in partnership with the Lake Worth Playhouse is proud to announce the Battle of the Bands competition to be held from 2-6pm Saturday and Sunday, September 8 & 9, 2012 at The Playhouse's 300-seat, downtown Lake Worth location. Eight local bands will face-off, vying for the right to be called the area's hottest band. With live gigs becoming increasingly hard to obtain, this high power musical event will definitely crank it up a notch, keeping the local music scene thriving and providing another example why downtown Lake Worth is becoming "the" Art & Cultural destination in Palm Beach County.

LULA Lake Worth Arts and the Lake Worth Playhouse form a perfect partnership to showcase the local musical talent, as the non-profit Playhouse celebrates its 60th season of providing entertainment, education and opportunities for artistic expression through volunteerism and community involvement and support.

The main stage will showcase these selected bands: Styrofoam, Scar of the Tropics, New & Used, Walk of Shame, We Humanz, The Republik, In Surrender and Cougars in Training (C.I.T.) to battle for first, second and third prize, after competing over the course of two days. Judges will vote to determine the winning bands based on sound, audience participation, and overall performance. The first place band will receive a $2,000.00 prize which consists of $500.00 cash and $1500.00 in local gigs. The second place band will receive $1,000.00 prize which consists of $200.00 in cash and $800.00 in local gigs and the third place band will receive $100.00 cash and $400.00 in local gigs. All eight bands will receive a professional photo shoot, a video of their performance and passes to attend the Battle of the Bands VIP Party at Brogues Down Under Sunday, September 9, 2012 at 8pm. Reserved tickets are $15 One Show/$25 Both Shows.
