Not a clue. Then again, the same goes for Calexico and I doubt anyone but me knew who the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets were. The finalists were all pretty obscure.

I don't know either. But I like cherry flavored things. I didn't like any of the last three bands so that was my criteria for picking.

Listened to some of their songs while the game was going, not bad. Anyways, congratulations Cherry Ghost!

I think the obscure bands were under the radar. Few knew enough about them to dislike them so others were voted down. An amusing dynamic.

Aye, it's the nature of these games. That's what makes them so interesting, you'll never know who or what will win. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/sideways.png[/smilie]

Out of the three remaining in the end, I would have preferred calexico to win - though I didn't know them before the game, there WERE samples of their music posted, so all it would have taken to get an idea of what their music is like is one click, and a couple of minutes of listening.



When finding out is made so very easy, there really is no excuse for voting at random, because you don't know the bands.



Oh well, that's just the way the cookie crumbles, it seems.

ROUND 2: PHASE 1- BUILD UP


(copy with each turn)

In the first Phase of Battle of the Bands, each player on their turn can spend 4 points to heal a Band. There is no hurting in the first round. This will see that only Bands who prove popular to at least someone get points. Those 4 points can go all to 1 Band, spread out 1 each to 4 Band, or any range in-between. Each Band can only reach a max of 40 points before no more points can be added to them. Phase One will end when 12 Bands have reached 40 points. Any Bands that fail to receive any points during this round will be automatically eliminated.

Interesting bands again in this round. Looking forward to being introduced to new music once again, so please post links! =]

Think I heard this before on the "what are you listening now?" thread - perhaps posted by you. On second hearing it's better - which is always a good sign in a band.

Never heard of these guys, but it sounds pretty good. Kinda old school, if you catch my drift.

I didn't say I didn't know the bands.  I said I didn't like the bands.  I listened to samples of all of them and none of them did anything for me.  Sorry to disappoint.
