Road to Lounge Acts finals this Saturday
Four bands still standing
Posted: Jun 16, 2009
 Saturday's all-ages event, titled Road to Lounge Acts, is set for 8 p.m. at the Aberdeen VFW. Bands scheduled to perform include Audrey's on Fire, Godfed Static, Powerbomb the Wolf and Rebel Skum. Those four bands were among a group of 10 that played two songs each with the same gear earlier this month to determine who would advance to the finals. A panel of judges and audience votes determined the finalists. Because one of the Foundation's goals is to encourage local musicians and give as many as possible an opportunity to play a big show in their hometown, past winners were not eligible to compete. Saturday, each band will play a 30-minute set of original songs. The order of bands will be drawn out of a hat prior to the competition. Each member of the audience will be given a ballot on which to cast their vote for who they thought did best. The winner will be announced at the end of all the performances and will earn a spot on the bill at Lounge Acts. Cover charge is $5 and doors open at 7:30. There is a bar available for those 21 and older. Proceeds from the event go to the Kurt Cobain Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit organization formed in 2004 to memorialize Aberdeen native Kurt Cobain in his hometown.
