Grand Rapids On Tap is just over a month away, Jul y15th, and we're really looking forward to all the great beers from around West Michigan, and the rest of the country. We're excited for the great food that'll be there, and the live music will be fun!
A couple months ago, when we announced the Free Beer and Hot Wings Live Show at the Intersection, and the Wayland Hometown Holiday Extravaganza, we had an idea: How about we have a contest to get a new local band up on stage for the show?
It turned out to be pretty cool, as dozens of bands sent in their videos, and we received many, many, many thousands of votes on them.
Today on Segment 16, the guys finish going through all the local bands that submitted videos to get onto the Wayland show at the Intersection on November 23rd. The guys picked some of their favorites, and then...figured out how they would pick their top band for the show.
Today on Segment 16, the guys begin to go through and watch all the band entries for the Wayland Hometown Holiday Extravaganza contest. Which bands will they like, which will they hate, and how much trash are they going to talk about all of them?

Back in El Paso, they're having the annual KLAQ Balloonfest, with some big bands playing, including Volbeat and Anthrax this weekend. This is only the second Memorial Day Weekend I
Last friday at 1pm I did something I have never done before. I played a song by a local band... Now most you probably realize we are not supposed to just throw songs from just anybody in willy nilly... well I heard this song from Uncommon Road and I had to play it!
In Russia, bands have a much harder time making it big. Unless your one of Putin's favorite groups.. it's a struggle. So you have to come up with outside of the box ways to promote your band. Don't just tour arenas, bars and other venues. No, no, no. Take your tour to the highways and play for the traffic... literally on the highway!
Once again, if you missed last nights craziness, then you are in luck! I have another video to catch you up on everything Heavy Weights, and make sure to come out next friday night for week 4, at the Intersection 8:00!!!!
