There’s been a little change in the original plan which called for a “Wildcard Week.” Instead of that, the contest officials are moving straight into Round 2 with the eight winning bands. Now, in keeping with tradition of having five bands play in the final Round 3, the officials will be selecting a 5th band from these 8 participating in Round 2 to also move on into Round 3. 

In Round 2, bands will have 45 minutes to “melt the judges’ faces off” (quoting Joshua Jones) and must perform two covers along with their own original music. The 45 minutes includes their set-up and break-down time before and after they are announced. 

Here’s the line-up for Round 2 (Note: the first band named in each week is a Texoma band — Yeah, I’m proud of the music here along the Red River) 

Sept. 22 at Hat Tricks in Lewisville, Texas — Dustin Perkins Band v Sidekick Mafia

Sept. 29 at City Tavern in Dallas — Twisted Pistols v Blackbird Sing

Oct. 6 at Love & War in Grapevine — Pearl Street Riot v Rodeo Clown Dropouts

Oct. 13 at Last Chance Saloon — Jeremy Phifer & The Badwater Band v Brad Dunn & Ellis County

Always remember and never forget —  you can go back and watch the videos of all these and the other bands on RogueTV.net, and their pix and reviews will remain posted here on SceneInTown.com
