Rock Lottery 4
Tomorrow, I have the distinct pleasure of participating in a brilliant fundraising event. Behold:
Good/Bad Archive Project presents a benefit for Arts Corps
Rock Lottery 04
Sunday, April 13th
Doors open at 8pm (1st band starts PROMPTLY at 10pm)
at Neumos - 925 East Pike Street Seattle, Washington 98122, www.neumos.com, 206.709.9467
Advance tickets available at - www.ticketswest.com
$10 admission, 21+
10AM - 25 individual musicians... 10PM - 5 new bands...
The Rock Lottery is simple, but effective. Twenty-five hand picked musicians meet at 10:00AM at the evening's performance venue. These volunteers are organized into five bands through a lottery based chance selection. The five different groups are then released to practice at different locations. The musicians have twelve hours to create a band name and three to five songs (with a one cover song limit). The bands will then return to the venue and perform what they have created in front of a waiting audience.
The twenty-five musicians included in this experiment are carefully selected in an attempt to represent a wide variety of musical styles. This event will bring together many facets of the music community that may seem incompatible, as well as musicians whose interests may conflict. The challenge for these participants is to try and go beyond their personal and musical differences and work together to create a unified group project that still contains the personal styles of each of its members.
Participants include:
Paul Austin (Transmissionary Six)
Ty Bailie (Dept. of Energy, Mark Pickerel and his Praying Hands)
Mike Bayer (Amateur Radio Operator, Evangeline)
Larry Brady (Biography of Ferns, Shorthand for Epic)
T. Tacket Brown (Two Loons for Tea, Jonny Sonic, Hayley Sales)
