It has been non-stop battling for LiveFeed the last couple weeks. We've seen some bands pit against each other, competing for a coveted spot at some of this summer's biggest live shows in St. Louis. The music has been impressive, and the competition's ferocity has, so far, given LiveFeed a substantial increase in attention and support for our cause. We thank iChannel and Loyal Family for inviting us into these battles to take donations and, in many cases, a portion of the door price, and promote our cause to hundreds of people and musicians alike.

Friday the 25th at the Old Rock House and Saturday the 26th at Off Broadway are our next dates for the SoCo Tasty Band Competition. The bands in the past have surprised us with their music, and the winners from the first two nights were Illphonics and Madahoochi, respectively. This weekend, we anticipate, should involve another 7 great bands, and two winners (based on a vote by the fans in attendance at the show) will move on to the Pageant on September 6th.

Saturday the 26th, our biggest night of the week, is also the night of the finals for iChannel's Battle of the Bands for iFest. This night will include all winners from the past nights' competition, and these bands have absolutely rocked the house down at Cruisin' Rte. 66 and The Pit thus far. Come check out the finals and watch and vote, as the fans determine two winners for iFest!
