Pasco County Library System's original Battle of the Bands ain't dead yet! That's right, Rockus Maximus is coming back for another year with another round of live concerts and hilarious online competitions.
We need 8 bands once again to take the Rockus Maximus challenge. Beginning December 11th and until December 29th, bands can register at any
Pasco County Library location or online. Entry forms and all the other Battle of the Bands information are available now. Bands must have a minimum of 3 members with the majority of members under 21, must play their own instruments, must have at least 2 original songs on CD, DVD, or online, and must have an online presence such as MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, etc.
A free kickoff concert will be held on December 11, 2009 at Land O Lakes Branch Library (2818 Collier Parkway, Land O Lakes, FL 34639) from 6:00-10:30pm, featuring 4 local acts including past Battle winner
Variance and Shallow Waters. Entry forms will be accepted from bands at this event.
This year's competition will involve 6 weeks of online videos in February and March of 2010, with viewers voting for their favorite band each week via our
MySpace page, following by a live band battle at Crews Lake Park (16739 Crews Lake Dr, Shady Hills, FL 34610) on March 26th, 2010. Two different prize categories will be available this year. The top two bands of the online voting will receive $500 and $250 music store gift cards to buy instruments, repairs, etc. The winners of the live battle will get a recording package worth $3500 for first, $1750 for second, and $1000 for third at a local recording studio.
