This week’s semi-final round features The Hydramatics vs. Wintersfear.

The Battle of the Bands is an all-ages shows! Doors open At 8:00 p.m. Free admission for ages 21 and older and just $5 for everyone else. The first band starts at 8:30 p.m. and the second band starts at 9:45 p.m. The order of the band’s start times will be announced the day of each show.

Years ago the staff at New Rock 107.3 wanted to find a way to promote local music. To not only talk about their shows but feature them on the air and spread the word about the amazing local sounds they were hearing. That’s when New Rock 107.3 created SLO and Dysfunctional, a program dedicated to promoting local rock.

Over the years New Rock 107.3 has aired over 70 local bands on the radio and handed out over 10,000 SLO and Dysfunctional CD’s. Over the last 7 years It has been amazing to see so many bands go from the garage, to the national stage.

Only one thing was missing from the SLO and Dysfunctional campaign, live shows. Last year New Rock 107.3 decided to do just that with the first ever New Rock 107.3 SLO and Dysfunctional Battle of the Bands. It was an enormous success filling the venue every week. This year the second battle will be held at Downtown Brew. The battle kicked off April 21st and is hosted by Downtown Brew and presented by Cabo Wabo Tequila and SKYY Vodka.

Congratulations to the following local bands who competed in this year’s Battle of the Bands and who were voted by New Rock 107.3′s listeners as being among the best local rock bands!
