Upcoming: Tiger Translate Battle of the Bands

Tiger Beer has gone all out again this year with their Tiger Translate Battle of the Bands – taking over just about every venue across town in the past and upcoming month. Last year we saw Emitter come out on top, and though we’ve yet to see what they have to offer (I recalled being disappointed Army of Jade Kin didn’t win), it’s a great chance to find that little band you love (go Skip Skip Ben Ben!!) and support them to the finals, as well as checking out a whole slew of new faces. Not sure how the voting breaks down especially with some of the competitions taking place at Hot Cat Club, but it all boils down to a final showdown at Tango on July 28th with guest Miserable Faith as well as last year’s winners Emitter.
