Yo High Schoolers - here's your chance to play in front of the big 3 music editors and some of the heavy weight personality's that fuel the scene. Top prize gets to play the Crystal Ballroom. April 10th is a High School Battle of the Bands at Backspace. Fill out an application online and play with Boy Eats Drum Machine and the holy-crap-amazing So So Glos(!).Battle of the Bands are most of the time, well, dumb. Music In The Schools is switching it up though and actually adding some spice. On top of playing for a good chunk of the important music people in town like the music editors for The Mercury, the Willamette Week and The Oregonian, winner gets to play the MITS annual show at the Crystal. Last Years line-up included Blue Scholars | YACHT | The Shaky Hands and Typhoon. The Year before that was The Thermals and Menomena. This year's line-up isn't set yet but if trend keeps, it will be surely great! Your band can play this line-up by going to the PDX Music In The Schools Website and filling out an online application.
