This Wednesday (the 23rd) is the final showdown between the two finalists of the My Band Rocks Fox Battle of the Bands, and we here at Sweet Leaf are super excited! In case you haven’t been keeping up, the My Band Rocks contest features bands with members 21 or under and wants to showcase some local Austin talent. Check out their Facebook page here. The two bands will be performing live at the Gibson showroom right here at Penn Field, next to our offices!

The two finalists are local bands Dead Swagger and Midnight Riot. Dead swagger is a three piece rock-noir group who brings back an old sound with a new twist. Midnight Riot, a five-piece alternative group, also from Austin, has a classic rock tone with a modern edge. Up for grabs in this contest is some pretty great stuff. The winning band will be getting some SXSW exposure from BMI, as well as an opportunity for some studio time.
I’ll be there getting some exclusive video content of the performances as well as some interviews with the bands which will be featured on Sweet Leaf TV. And if you can’t make it, the show will be televised on MyFoxAustin, and be sure to keep an eye out for some Sweet Leaf on the air! The doors open at 5:30, so if you want to see some young Austin talent stop by and enjoy some Sweet Leaf and music.
