PHOENIX May 6, 2009 –
Four of the Valley's most promising young bands, including headliner The NeoPrimitive, turn up the volume at 7:30 p.m., May 8 during the 7th Annual North Valley Battle of the Bands in PVCC's Center for the Performing Arts. Joining NeoPrimitive are Click 60, Thompson Blue, and Valley Love. The bands were selected during a December competition among musical groups around the Valley. Tickets for the event are $6. For box office info, call 602-787-7738. The 7th Annual North Valley Battle of the Bands is hosted and sponsored by the Commercial Music Program at PVCC. It rewards local bands with free recording time and the opportunity to play in a professional theatre with full sound and light support. The concert on May 8 also serves as a CD release party; the participating bands have each recorded three songs in our college studios.
"This is a very beneficial project for all involved," says Brett Reed, the director of the commercial music program. "The bands get a free recording and our students get to an engineer a substantial real-world project."
The North Valley Battle of the Bands encourages aspiring high school and college musicians to work on their craft and to continue to make original music. Now in its seventh year, the project is an important tool used to support the creation of original music and to train the next generation of music business professionals.
