Black Sheep Battle of the Bands RECAP

Posted on July 13, 2014 by blacksheepspringfield

Last night was our second annual Black Sheep Battle of the Bands and it was a great time had by all. Every band did a great job and our judges had some great things to say about all of them. Today we are coming back at you with some hard results for you all to take in. Five bands were scheduled to play but we had a no-show from one so four bands took the stage last night.

The crowd voting was neck-and-neck-and-neck and each band put on a killer set but when all was said and done The Locals won by just a few votes. Our judges got together and also claimed The Locals as their winner. Runner up for both the crowd voting and the judicial voting was Blind Social. Because of this we gave The Locals first choice on their prize, and they chose studio time in South Town Studio. Blind Social took the slot on Black Sheep Fest happening Saturday, July 26th. And those are your results! Check out a video from The Local’s set below.
