Battle of the bands

invades UNBC

By Aaron Mahoney
The brain child of Jackie
Eaton and April
Williams rocked the
winter garden January
5. But only after the
World Junior Hockey
Championships
between Canada and
Russian finished in the
winter garden.
Sponsored by the Max
and NUGSS, _ four
bands entertained
around 200 students
playing a mix of music
from rock & roll to heavy
metal. The bands were
playing for the right to
be the lead band in next
semester's Northern
Backyard Barbecue.
Judges for the night
were chosen from local
music gurus. Each band
was to play three songs
with a 15 minute inter-
lude.

Godless started off the
night followed by Kings
Incorporated. Kings
incorporated's song "In
the morning" got the
crowd rocking.

Rutabaga Chillin’s fol-
lowed and their song
"Midnight hour" found a
connection with the stu-
dents. White Knuckle
Ride brought their dis-
tinctly 80's heavy metal
sound to the stage.

The judges reviewed all
the bands and in a close
decision, gave Kings
Incorporated second

place while top honours
went White Knuckle
Ride.

"The battle of the bands
was an-idea that has

been kicking around for
a while and we just
needed the time to put
the whole thing togeth-
er," said Jackie Eaton,
NUGSS Director for
Social & Promotions,
"Its a lot of work to get
the show together but
we want to turn this into
an annual event."
Students leaving the
Battle of the Bands
expressed appreciation
for the music and the
event.

Rutabaga Chillin's Alice
Lyons contributed to a
strong showing in the
Battle of the Bands.
