BATTLE OF THE BANDS 2018 WINNER

The 8 Seconds Saloon Battle of the Bands is gearing up for this summer and the opportunities keep getting bigger and better. INDIANA BANDS ONLY... EMAIL HERE

TICKETS - Each band is given 800 (I will make more if you like) Tickets to hand out to fans for FREE

ADMISSION - We will make a digital ticket for any bands that requests one. You can post it anywhere you like. Each ticket used for entrance will get the band $1. (Bands are NOT allowed to hand tickets out to patrons in the parking lot, so be fair)

TIME SLOTS - Times will not be decided until your night. A member of each band needs to be at the club at 7pm for the Time Slot drawing. Performance length is 15 mins or 4 songs. Do not perform a 6 min song just to play longer.

GEAR - We will be providing the PA, Lights, and Drum Set.  Drummers please bring Cymbals, Snare, Sticks. You can bring a pedal but we have a DW-5000. DO NOT bring a ton of extras. All other players bring amps and instruments. There is enough room on stage to place your amps to the side in the ready position.

JUDGING - Finalists will be decided by Hank FM judges, your ticket count, performance, crowd approval, and look. If you do not make it to the finals that does not mean you will not play 8 Seconds. We can only move a few bands each night.
