Student bands needed for UIC Radio competition

TanZen, winner of last year’s Battle of the Bands, performed at Spark in the Park in the fall.

UIC Radio is looking for passionate students and their bands for its third annual Battle of the Bands.

Continuing the tradition that started in 2014, UIC Radio hopes this year’s competition will bring together the community for a night of excitement.

“I love Battle of the Bands because it’s so awesome to see all these bands that are a part of UIC come together for a fun night of music,” said Sonia Vavra, blog director for UIC Radio.

UIC Radio is accepting applications through Sunday on the UIC Connection website. At least one band member must be a current UIC student. The Battle of the Bands takes place March 16.

Last year’s champion, TanZen, won a prize pack from Best Tronics Pro Audio and the opportunity to perform alongside Spark in the Park headliner twenty one pilots and special guest Wale.

“I’m excited to see who the best of the best is and seeing music bring people together,” Vavra said.
