Trying to start a band but don't know any other musicians? Or maybe you are sick of your current band mates and want a fresh start? Well, Sugar City & Peterwalkee Records have you covered. Behold, the first ever Queen City Music Lottery, giving musicians a chance to throw their name in the ring and form a completely new and original band. Musicians of all skill set are encouraged to sign up and be flexible as band mates are not chosen by instrument, meaning bands may have multiple drums sets, or all keyboards, etc. You get the idea.
I think this is a really fun idea. The randomness of assembling the bands and the creativity of making the new project work will be something to look forward to. Not mention, the chance for musicians of different scenes and genres to potentially form something fresh will be a nice jolt to the local wave of bands. There are two lottery opportunities to sign up for the lottery. The first is this Saturday at Black Dots (223 Lafayette Ave) at 2pm. The second is the same time over at Spiral Scratch (291 Bryant Ave) on Saturday, Feb 8th. All of the details can be found at the lottery's event page. Good luck!
second sign up date feb 8th is at spiral scratch.
