Dayton Band Playoffs

A Night of Contrasts: The Dayton Band Playoffs Finale

September 26, 2011 By Dayton Most Metro 18 Comments

Editor’s note: please welcome Joshua McGrath, another Dayton Campus Connect intern, to the Dayton Music section.

Canal Street Tavern was abuzz with excitement on Saturday night. The last few months had been leading up to this evening, and the crowd was ready. The front of the house was loud and rowdy, while in the back corner, one could find a more relaxed atmosphere. This is where I set up shop, pen and paper ready for the spectacle. As the crowd quickly grew to standing room only, the first band took the stage. A smooth, bluesy bass line and a driving drum rhythm kicked off the finale of the 29th annual Dayton Band Playoffs.

The smooth rhythm that kicked off the show compliments of The Outliers, an alternative indie outfit. The band chose to take the stage in parts; John Winch [Bass] and Sam Pickard [Drums] with their bluesy rhythm, joined shortly thereafter by Jack Badgley layering in his guitar, then David Busarow filling out the sound with the lyrics.

When it comes to The Outliers, the instrumentals are the name of the game. Much focus is given to the strong, riff-driven guitar and bass. The vocals mainly exist as an embellishment, a sleepy compliment to the band’s primary sound. The band was so focused on their music that they seemed to forget the crowd. This didn’t keep them from receiving near-constant applause, especially when Badgley broke out of repeating riffs to offer a well-placed solo.

Gathering Mercury, a young pop-punk/pop-rock group, took the stage next. This band provided a much louder contrast to The Outliers. Gathering Mercury spared no time with a build up, kicking right in to full gear with their first song. Loud, rolling drums with talented hi-hat work (courtesy of JJ Parker), a strong driving bass line from Quique Bucio, and chord-heavy overdriven guitars provided by Josh Davis got the crowd to their feet as Ashley Stacy’s strong voice led the way.

More focus was given to Davis’ guitar work, with his impressive speeding solos a change of pace from the riff-focused Outliers. Gathering Mercury peppered a few covers into their set, covering both Foo Fighter’s “Walk” and The Beatles’ “Come Together” between their original songs, always adding a power-punk-pop flavor to the tracks. About midway through their set, the band begin hitting their stride: more complex guitar-work, faster rhythms, and the members jumping around the stage having a good time.

By the time Gathering Mercury finished their set, it was nearly midnight, and the crowd had begun to wane. However, each band still had one more set to play. Unfortunately, I was unable to catch the second set of sets, but I was still able to learn one important bit of news. This was, after all, the Dayton Band Playoffs, so there must be one question on everyone’s mind: who won? Well, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present you with the name of your 2011 Dayton Battle of the Band Champions…

It was a hard-fought battle, but coming out from the rubble victorious, please congratulate The Outliers! Their brand of bluesy, riffy alt-rock led them to the hard-earned title of the best of the local scene! Although only one can come out on top, the show and playoffs were an impressive display of local talent, and further proof of the strength of Dayton’s musical offerings. Keep an ear out for both of these young local bands, as after this impressive feat, one can be sure that they’re going places!

Dayton Band Playoffs Begin in June – Signups Now Open

May 26, 2011 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

To me, the start of the Dayton Band Playoffs signal the start of the summer in the Dayton music scene.  This year marks the 29th year for the Canal Street Tavern series of concerts that are part friendly competition and part amazing opportunity to hear and be heard by audiences and other musical acts from the area.  Past winners include Magic Jackson, Shrug, Brainiac, The Method, just to name a few.

Signups for performers are now open via a downloadable form from Canal Street’s website – you can also pick one up at the club or call 927-228-2450 for more information.  Round 1 of the Playoffs will begin later in June – we’ll bring you those dates and all of the standings as the Playoffs unfold here on Dayton MostMetro.com.

Here’s last year’s winners, the Connoisseurs, performing the timely Apocalypse Waltz.

Three shows for your Thursday

August 18, 2010 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

The Black Who's?

Why wait for the weekend to see some live music?  This Thursday our local musicians will be serving up some great tunes at the following shows:

  • The Black Who’s? are hosting two bands from Atlanta at Blind Bob’s.  They’ll be joined onstage by The Biters who are currently touring with The Booze. Take the next 24 hours to practice saying, “I’m going to see The Black Who’s at Blind Bob’s with The Biters and The Booze” five times fast.
  • If you’re craving something harder, South Park Tavern may be the place for you.  Turlock, California hardcore band Verona will be stopping by to play with By Way of Sunstorm, who are finished up their first full length album.
  • The Dayton Band Playoffs are getting down to wire.  Thursday marks the last show of Round 3 and will determine who the last band is to move on to the Semi-finals at Canal Street Tavern.  A Shade of Red and Less Than 3 are on the bill so go out and put your vote in for one of these local bands.

What are your plans for Thursday night?

The Turkish Delights release …Ahem!

July 8, 2010 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

This time last year, the Turkish Delights had just finished playing Round One of the Dayton Band Playoffs, which they would go on to win in September.  One year later, they’re celebrating the release of their latest album, …Ahem!  with a show at Blind Bob’s.  They’ll be joined onstage Saturday night by Me & Mountains and Toads and Mice.  This 21+ show is $5.

$5 is also the cost of a copy of …Ahem, and it’s well worth it.  The Turkish Delights recorded the album at home, and it features a great variety from the band’s catalog. After the release, the Turks hope to work on a regional tour and will start work on their next album.  For more on the Turkish Delights, and for a preview of the album, check out the interview I did with the band on this week’s Kaleidoscope (WYSO).

The weekend in music starts early

July 7, 2010 By Juliet Fromholt 1 Comment

The Fourth of July holiday gave some of us the opportunity to have a short work week.  Looking ahead to this weekend in music, it looks like we’re getting a head start on things with several great shows slated for Thursday night.

Here’s the rundown:

– South Park Tavern will feature Brooklyn’s the Judy Blooms along with Roley Yuma and Andy Smith of Andrew & the Pretty Punchers.  For those unfamiliar with the Judy Blooms, it’s the brainchild of former Daytonian Jake Geisege who you may remember from the band Wild & Free.  This all-ages show is $5 and begins around 9pm.

– Forgoing the usual Thursday open mic night for a week, Blind Bob’s is featuring an evening of music presented by Poptek Records.  Chicago’s The Love of Everything will join Poptek’s own Kris N on the stage.  Brooklyn’s Vox Humana and local musician (and Blind Bob’s open mic host) Brandon Hawk will round out the bill. This show is 21+ and costs $5.

– If you want to rock out for a cause, head over to Vex.  The Jackalopes will join Jasper the Colossal along with Todd the Fox and Henrique Couto and the Tallywacker Express (members of Splattertude).  The show is a benefit for local filmmaker, Andy Copp’s newest project, Church of the Eyes.  This show is $5 at the door and gets started around 10pm.

-You can also put your vote in for Round One of the Dayton Band Playoffs over at Canal Street Tavern.  Thursday night features performances by The Whataveya, N.P.D., and A Shade of Red.  $3 gets you in the door, and you’ll get to vote on your favorite act during this seeding round of the Playoffs (the top 16 bands move on to Round Two).

Bonneville Gears Up For Winter Tour, Stops by WYSO

November 17, 2009 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

bonnevilleBonneville has accomplished a lot for a young band.  They participated in the Dayton Band Playoffs in 2002, before their freshman year of high school.  They’ve released several CDs, and in a few weeks, they’ll embark on a winter tour taking them from Columbus to Nashville and South Carolina.  Before their journey begins, they’ll perform at Canal Street Tavern on November 29.

This week, the band will appear on Kaleidoscope on WYSO (Wednesday 8-11pm) for a live  set and interview.
