CJLO is super excited to present its first ever Battle of the Bands!
Concordia's best bands will be battling it out for one night only and it's going to be explosive!
There will be performances by Left Side Neighbor, Hey Predator! Mirrors, Triggered Response, Interracial Love Triangle, Elgin-Skye, Stereochic.
The competition will be judged by Jonathan Cummins of Bionic, the Doughboys and the Montreal Mirror, Mikey Bernard of M Pour Montreal, Omar Husain of Safe in Sound Management and CJLO’s Head Music Director and host of Hooked on Sonics, and Angelica Calcagnile, formerly of Aquarius & Last Gang Records and host of CJLO’s BVST.
Bands will be judged on stage presence, musicianship, originality, song writing, cohesiveness, and a popular vote component.
The winner is going to go home with two days worth of studio time, an on-line feature on our website and magazine, an in-studio session and interview on CJLO’s “Hooked on Sonics” and other great swag!
Show's at the FC Smith Auditorium on the Loyola campus (7141 Sherbrooke Street West). Doors and drinks happen at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:30 pm sharp. Admission is two bucks and there will be door prizes!
Points are given for popular vote so be sure to come and support your favorite band!

Wow I don't know if you heard
Wow I don't know if you heard Elgin-Skye's or Stereochic's music but it is nothing like what you describe.... too bad you didn't get to compete but remember that not everyone's taste in music is the same. CJLO plays a pretty wide and diverse range of music, not top 40 light rock stuff...
I wasn't aware that
I wasn't aware that Elgin-Skye, Mirrors and Stereochic were "screaming aggressive puke bands". But thanks for letting me know!
The bands
Wow...I entered this contests and I was disapointed that I didn't get to compete. But listening to those who did, I don't understand how you guys made your selections? The bands you've listed are weird, punky, out there, music. Why have you limited this competition to such listerner unfriendly music? I don't think I could stand to listen to any of the bands you selected for very long--not at a loud volume anyway. The title of your contest should be battle of the screaming, aggressive puke music bands.
