By Stephanie MayA round of applause goes out to the victors of The Venue’s battle of the bands. The first place prize of $1,000 cash went to Nampa’s In the Pause, followed by 2nd place purveyors of fun Stop Drop and Party who won a $500 recording package with Speck Studio. 3rd place winners Threshold acquired a $450 merchandise package from Defined Productions.
According to promoter and Hot Local Knights coordinator Jaclyn Brandt, “Scores were based on ticket sales, votes (and their votes from the semi-finals carried over) and then we had judges judging in 4 categories, which were marketability, professionalism, crowd interaction and songwriting/technical ability.”
Great job guys, we look forward to seeing what you do with your prizes!

Every Time I Die will return to Boise, much to my own surprise and likely anyone else who attended their concert on Sept. 13, 2009. They will be playing at The Venue this time, and the $16 tickets go on sale Saturday, Jan. 30 through all Ticketweb outlets. Also playing are Polar Bear Club, Trapped Under Ice, and Four Year Strong.
