Money, September's Battle of the Bands, Rocktober's Music Festival

Well here is my second post for Rocktober. Apparently I am participating in a blog fest this month. I'll give it a go, like a good blogging addict one day at a time and see how it goes. Well on the 15th of September I had a Battle of the Bands battle and I guess it would probably be a good thing to share the results.

The Battle featured a classic rock song by Eddie Money called "Take Me Home Tonight." The contestants were Jump Off and Every Avenue. Jump Off ran away with it winning 5 to 1. I was saved from a shut out by the mercy of Stephen. 

The Jump Off bills themselves as Philadelphia's Hottest Up and Coming Party Band. 

Here they cover Rob Zombie's "Dragula" which is perfect for Rocktober..

Here is a video about the band...

Support your local music where ever you might be. You never know when your local band might make it onto one of these Battle of the Band things.  Don't forget to vote on my girls gone AC/DC Battle of the Bands that is going on now.

Battle of the Bands: For Money

After hearing Eddie Money had  passed away Sammy Hagar wished "every cover band to play an Eddie Money song tonight." These songs were recorded before his death but I did find a couple of covers. The song is "Take Me Home Tonight." If you want more Eddie Money check out this post here.

Eddie Money "Take Me Home Tonight" live from the Hollywood Casino and Races in Charles Town, WV December 2012. Not the very best recording, but somewhere in that crowd yours truly was lurking.

This one will sound better...

Enough about the song lets start the battle!

Contender One:  Jump Off

Contender Two: Every Avenue

Now it is your turn! Tell me who you liked the best Jump Off or Every Avenue in the comments. I will count up the votes and announce a winner in a week or so!
