Battle of the Bands!!!!!!

Hello!
As you may or may not know, the greatest annual live music spectacle Warwick
University has ever seen is about to commence! The Bandsoc
Battle of the Bands final is a showcase of some of the finest musical talent
Warwick has to offer, and this year looks set to be an absolute blinder.
Over five heats, (commencing Thursday wk5 in the Graduate Club) a total of 29
bands will compete for a place in the final (to be held on Tues wk10 in the
marketplace).
One band from each heat will go through to the final, with the runners-up doing
battle in a "second chance heat of death" where the victor will win a place in
the final.
The final itself is by far the best and most electric atmosphered live music
night of the year! Last years final saw the Marketplace full to the rafters, and
six awesome performances from some of Warwick's finest before newcomers
Interloper emerged as overall winners. They're back to defend their title this
year and are up against some tough competition from the likes of melodic,
progressive soft rock 6-piece Unreal Coriander, awesome hair metal stadium rock
outfit Replica X, adventure-punks extraordinaire Snarf Takes Up the Challenge,
up-and-coming indie-mongers A Day Remains and the
rapidly-making-a-name-for-themselves Pink Spider, recently seen supporting the
Dillinger Escape Plan with their own brand of emo-hardcore.
Battle of the Bands is your only chance this term for an evening dedicated to
live music within the Students Union! Support live, local music and come along,
it will be awesome!

still incredibly good value for money £2.50 for non-members.
