One can never be too young to be in a band now-a-days.  The three members of Under A Burning Sky can be considered the "babies" in this year's 2nd Annual Battle of the Bands at Fort Brown.  Not only are these 15 and 16 year olds competing with those who are at least four years older, but against bands that have been together for longer then a year.  The event will be the band's first competition and dare I say, it's going to be no picnic.  Seen as the underdogs, Under A Burning Sky will have their work cut out for them. 

Sounds like:  (very loosely)

• Tiger Army
• Chevelle

There is nothing like a great show over the weekend to make the upcoming week seem dull.  This past Saturday at Chapa's Bar, Avid took the stage ready to give a killer performance.  With the hands of the clock nearly reaching 1:30 a.m., lead singer Michael Gonzalez showed no sign of fatigue.  Their style of music varied greatly compared to the previous bands that performed earlier.  They had a mixture of jazz and swing with just the perfect amount of rock.  Fans were dancing and singing with complete abandon even as Gonzalez pulled them on stage.  I, myself, was swept away by the energy that Avid possessed.  It is rare to find a band with a unique presence here in the valley, and Avid is one of those rare ones.   

Sounds like:

• Arctic Monkeys
• Of Montreal
• (with a touch of) The Format
