The contest is kind of like American Idol, only for bands. There are judges, theme nights, and fan votes are important (but you HAVE to be there). I personally think the fan voting isn't very fair. While American Idol has a TV audience and fans can vote from home, for this, the fans HAVE to be there each night.
Some bands seem more local and have a lot of fans every week. Other bands are from out of town and while VERY good, just don't have the fan base at the contest. For example, Party Anthem is a group of talented young musicians that come every week from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They were almost kicked out last week, probably due to lack of fan votes. Thankfully, the judges used their only save to keep them in the contest, if only for another week. I am hopeful for them.
The themes have been fun. Among them were 80's night, country night, and disco night. This past week was British invasion night. Some bands are straight forward and simply play the music, while others have fun with it and make it a show. All of them are good at what they do. There are only two weeks left, so if you are a fan of any of these bands, I highly suggest you make the trip and support them. They do need their fans to win.
