Pretty awesome, eh? 

The grungy brick venue on 151 N. University Avenue will erupt 8 p.m. tonight with the tunes of local bands The Weakmen,The Monikers, Pleasure Island and The Project.

These are the second four of 16 local bands competing in the Muse Music Battle of the Bands this week. Four bands compete each night, Tuesday through Friday. The winning band from each night will go on to compete for the $250 prize in the final show Saturday.

“I think this collection of bands is a reflection of what’s happening right now in Provo,” said Brett Meldrum, co-manager at Muse Music. “There’s a lot of creativity here. Different tastes, different talent. Our line-up reflects that.”

The genres represented in this five-day musical marathon range from pop rock, emo and acoustic to experimental, indie and classic rock.

“We have a mix of bands that wouldn’t normally play with each other sharing the stage,” said Jake Haws, a junior from Tacoma, Wash. and Muse Music co-manager. “You won’t see just a punk-rock crowd, or just an emo crowd. It really brings people together when they’re suddenly forced to be there.”

Representatives from Decline skate shop, the Provo Downtown Alliance and other local organizations will judge competing bands based on criteria such as originality, performance quality and audience reaction.

“We tried to get judges that are a representative cross-section of the audience,” Meldrum said. “Many of them are students.”

Meldrum said that Muse’s Battle of the Bands is more than a competition — it’s a local showcase.

“Some people come for good music. Some people want to see a party on stage. Rather than to single out one band, we want to put on really good shows,” Meldrum said.

Mark Hender, keyboarder and backup vocalist for Mon Cheri, agreed that the Battle of the Bands is not about the competition.

“I would like to think of music as a non-competitive venue. We are portraying our art. I don’t see art and think of it as a competition between Pablo Picasso and DaVinci,” Hender said. “It’s about glorifying the local music scene, letting artists display themselves and their imagination.”

Tickets to Battle of the Bands are available at Muse Music. Tickets are $5 for one night, $8 for two nights and $10 for the whole week.

Be sure to check out the show tonight - we'll have live coverage of the event along with interviews with the bands and audience throughout the night

Bowser likes to sit outside my place and make sure salesmen and jahova's witnesses don't come knocking on the door - and to show the world that spike collars aren't just for people - or dogs - for that matter.

And yes, the kittie is a rock star

And yes...he rocks out.

I hate stuck up people , people who think they are the sh*t , even if they are . A beautiful woman turns realy ugly to me when she has no personality . I dont care about whats outside of you , if you have NO INSIDE !

I also hate people who have no control . If you cant be human when you drink , just f'ing dont do it . I dont think people are cool by being loud and f'ed up . I had to f'ing sit in a sushi bar with a couple of drunks next to , slaming thier cups and singing and stuff ... I wanted to turn around and smash thier heads in the f'ing glass . Oh mann I f'ing hateee that sh*t .

I hate men who cant control their damn eyes . I had the worst f'ing time at the beach this past Saturday ! right when my boyfriend went in the water , I had one guy come and place his chair not even 3 feet away from me and send his 7 kids in the water ! after that a nother a$$ hole came and layed in front of me on his stomach facing me about 6 feet away and a group of 6 guys came and landed thier sh*t of the only side I had left with a view .

Ok , Now I dont care if they are dogs ! but f' man , at least do it some how that the girl doesnt feel like she should just leave !

I had the worse time in my life . and I LOVE THE OCEAN !

SO if you want to be my friend , please please please do not act like an a$$hole . I am soo sick of it that I cant even began to say ...

Looks like there is a lot of hard partying to be had this weekend, couple concerts to hit, and a few street corners to wake up on.  Ha, luckily I ussually manage to make it home to my bed.
