Dem-ROCK-racy in action
Looks like Metromix Rock 'n' Vote 2007 winners Animate Objects are now trying to snag a spot on stage at this year's Lollapalooza in the annual Last Band Standing competition.
They're way behind, so vote now! (You're allowed to vote once per day per email address.)
On June 30, the top 100 vote-getters advance to the next round, when celeb judges including Lolla organizer Perry Farrell will narrow the list to 20. Those groups will be announced July 8, at which time they'll upload more MP3s to the contest site and have until July 20 to collect enough votes to make it to the Top 5. The five finalists will play a show Aug. 1 at Double Door to determine which two bands will rock Lolla, with one chosen by audience vote and the other chosen by a celeb panel, also including Farrell.
Last year more than 2,000 bands entered the online competition, and more than 850,000 votes picked out ToneDeff and The Cankles as the winners. (We caught ToneDeff at Lolla; check out our review).
