Battle of the Bands! [in calecia] Calecia chronicle
[Just because I support local talent yo]
The night showcased four local bands, most of which played rock music. Although with “Broadcasting Sirens”, the winning band, the crowd experienced rock music with an intriguing and industrial mix. Other bands like “Terashi”, the opening act for the night, offered a more familiar and commercial Nu-metal sound. Likewise spectators enjoyed the “thrashy” beats of local Thrash Metal band, “TrendKill”.
One of the bands that while didn’t take the title of the bands did manage to get the kids extremely involved with their charisma and frisky performance. The charismatic trio, "Ellipsis", won the congeniality award by far, and their music best described as Pop-punk, with a dash of Rock en Español added to the concoction, was also great.
With 15 minute intermissions in between each band, kids were able to mingle outside and buy refreshments and listen to more tunes from “DJ Tubs”, as if the music inside wasn’t enough. And as intended, the event turned out to be very family-oriented, and yet didn’t discourage heavy eyeliner-wearing adolescents to show up. It was clearly an event of diversity.
Anticipation begun to build up after the penultimate band, and the crowd eagerly awaited and wondered if the final band would be up to par with the preceding bands.
After a short intermission the talented quartet commenced their dynamic and flawlessly executed set of tracks as red and green lights blinded the crowd and synthesized music saturated the room. A real party atmosphere pervaded Rodney and the crowd responded to the music immediately, some already long time fans while others were just instantly drawn to the music.
“Broadcasting Sirens” has fostered a distinctive sound; an energetic, sometimes gloomy hybrid of Electronic music and New Wave, and perhaps this is why long time fans like Penny Ramirez are completely faithful that the band will have a successful out coming, “They’re something new, unlike anything here in the Valley”, mentioned Ramirez, who has been following the band since its beginnings and has been anticipating their resurgence after a temporary cessation of 2 years.
The whole New Wave-Esque 80’s resurrection really enticed the crowds and clearly the judges. People were blown away especially older spectators in the audience who got a retrospective glimpse by listening to the band. The night ended with an encore of a crowd-favorite, “Masquerade”, an original by the winning band.
