It was a raucous night at the Marquis theater where as many as 250 people braved the trip to see seven DU bands put on an excellent show.
The concert ran on time this year and was very well organized. Each band was given about 20 minutes worth of playing time, which allowed a long enough set to really get a feel for the music.
The seven bands that played were Petals of Spain, Christian Seith, The Say-So, Kill The Messenger, Silverstring Theater, Dino Hunter and A.F.R.O.E.
Prizes of $300, $200 and $100 were given to first, second and third place. The prize money was donated by Late Night at DU. The winners were chosen by a judge panel of students who chose the three most original acts of the night.
They were Petals of Spain, Dino Hunter and Silverstring Theater.
However, as a testament to the quality of the concert, Kill the Messenger and The Say-So both received the most applause from the crowd.
However, Petals of Spain deserved the win with their creative mix jazz-rock.
