Well, Upstate the fact of the matter is, although we haven’t had a decent accumulation of snow, it’s still colder than the Zima in the back of your mamas freezer (a side note, Zima has not been produced since 2008; though, I haven’t actually seen one since 1994.) Anyway, in so many words it’s cold outside. Don’t give in to cabin fever! Come out to The Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie and show your support for some local bands playing for a spot at Bamboozled festival 2012.
For those of you not in the know like myself, a mostly California girl, the Bamboozled Festival is one of the tri-state areas largest music festivals. Held over three days in the armpit of America (sorry Jersey, had to, love you!), since 2003. Through The Break Contest local artists are given the chance to earn a spot amongst famed headliners. A few personal favorites on the 2012 line up include Foo Fighters, Mac Miller, and Skrillex.!
The Break Contest is a classic battle of the bands, but it’s not just your high schools battle of the bands! Eight venues will hold preliminary, semi-final, and final rounds over the course of about ten weeks. The artists need to sell a certain quantity of tickets to earn a chance to perform in the next round. This is where you come in. There are a ton of bands out there, and last year’s winner, Greek EuropeanDon, hails right from Newburgh, NY, and is a major player for T.E.A.M. 845. Also repping T.E.A.M 845 is Tell a Tall Tale out of Washingtonville, NY. I know Greek is hungry for another win, and Tell a Tall Tale came so close to glory last year they’ve been waiting all year for redemption.
Be sure to check out The Chance Theater or The Break Contest website for schedules. Once you’ve marked down some must see shows, including Greek THIS Saturday January 21st at The Chance, come back by the blog for an in-depth look at Greek EuropeanDon .Get to know the renowned Hudson Valley MC who’s came out on top last year before you see him live this Saturday.
So there you go. Go warm up your car. Tickets are a reasonable $12 bucks pre-sale and can be purchased through the artist, The Break Contest website, pre-sale and at the door for $15.00 through the venue. Get out. Show love. And always, #FeelFreetobeFree
