Buzz Chicago Metal Wars 2 Info

[xylopolist]

Hi Powerfest fans.. I'm posting this here because the winner of the contest will be getting a spot in the Powerfest 2009 Lineup. If anyone knows a band looking to break out of the scene, send this info their way!

And certainly, since most of you will be at Powerfest I assume (me too, feeling anxious already!), you may want to vote on some of these bands (after March 6th) at www.buzznews.net and/or check out the show with the finalists battling each other at Chicago City Limits on April 11th.

I'm guessing there have been some issues with the remaining headliners/support slots? If so, that really sucks. Hopefully it all works out!

This has got nothing to do with any issues, we were recently given the
chance to team up with BuzzNews.net to sponsor their event and
to give a very deserving local/regional act the chance to open one of the
nights of the festival!

We've toyed around with the idea of a "metal wars" type thing for a few
years now and thanks to BuzzNews, we'll be able to get involved
and give a killer up-n-coming band a great opportunity!

Special thanks go out to Key Payne, Kim Kaatz and the whole Buzz crew!

I was going to reply with something to this effect, but thanks for filling everyone in, Chris - looking forward to the contest and to Powerfest 2009.

Thanks for clearing that up Chris. I agree that this is a cool way to get a smaller, local band some exposure on a big stage, and some great prizes as well.

I'm glad to hear that this slot isn't conflicting with the remaining four top spots on the Powerfest lineup. Bring on the big guns!

Sounds very interesting, also I hadn't heard Louie's name in a very long time good to see that he's still doing good.

My personal favorite is ... well ...

 

[compurocker]

I have to keep voting for my boys Sacred Dawn but there are some cool bands on here. The top six finals at Chicago City Limits should be a great show for sure.
