Twelve bands heat up Wilmington for seventh year of competition By Krista Connor
F
or the seventh consecutive summer, the area’s premier battle of the bands, Musikarmageddon, will heat things up in Wilmington. Twelve bands, voted into the competition by fans via an online poll, are set to battle on Thursday nights in June and July at Kelly’s Logan House. The competition kicks off June 5 from 9-11:30 p.m. The events are free and $2 to vote. Each night, two bands will have up to an hour to compete while performing their original music. The winner will be determined each evening by a 50/50 combination of votes from the audience and the scores of Musikarmageddon judges. The three bands who win semi-finals, plus one wild card band determined by judges’ scores, will perform at the finals at the baby grand on Sept. 20. The grand prize package includes a feature article in O&A’s October edition, a spot on the Main Stage at the 2014 Wilmo Rock Circus, a $500 gift certificate to Accent Music, six hours of free recording time at TribeSound Studios in West Chester, Pa., and 20 free custom-made t-shirts from Wilmington’s Spaceboy Clothing. Past Musikarmageddon winners include Glim Dropper in 2013, Schroeder in 2012, Deadbeatz Inc. in 2011, and New Sweden in 2010. Meet this year’s bands:► JUNE 2014 | OUTANDABOUTNOW.COM
