9th Annual Rock ‘n’ Vote: Local bands, send demos now!

The 9th Annual Rock ‘n’ Vote show is shaping up, and local Chicago bands have a shot of making the bill…

Not long after Rock ‘n’ Vote 2011, finalists appeared at the North Coast Music Festival (Pyro Fighter) and the Taste of Chicago (Yeah Dude, Briar Rabbit). And none of those local bands even won our annual contest.

Think your local band deserves more exposure too? Great; for the ninth year running, we’re putting on a show to help showcase Chicago bands our readers should know about. You can be an all-female rap trio, five dudes who play guitars and keyboards without a drummer, and anything in between. Just send in your demo (music, bio, and anything else you’ve got). We’ll pick the top 10 submissions, and RedEye readers will listen to the finalists and vote for who gets to play our concert this spring.

Don’t delay! Submissions must be received by April 3. If you’re entering electronically, send submissions (music, color hi-res photos, etc.) to mpais@tribune.com and prove that you rock!
