Bands 1-3

The Black Marias. Holy Shit.

I am pretty f***ing impressed with these freshmen. They were waaaaaaayyy better live than in their recordings. Awesome energy. Super tight. Electric violinist. Great drummer. WTF. They might have a shot at this.

The first band, Roark had a spooky, highly synthesized sound ala Rocky Horror. They're frontman came into the audience a lot and wasn't afraid to get crazy, but they placed too much emphasis on synthesizers and could have communicated better as a band.

Prisms had some good musicians--a 12-string guitarist and a solid bassist. But their vocals were sparse and repetitive, and they had periods where the energy level would drop.

Ok. Seven Locks is up. More in a bit.
