(PR) August has come and gone, and the Austin City Limits Music Festival is swiftly approaching. With that comes the next round of The Sound and the Jury (S&J), a virtual battle of the bands offering one lucky band the ultimate grand prize: a slot on the Dell Stage at Austin City Limits (Oct. 2-4, 2009).With ACL less than a month away and two of the four qualifying rounds complete, there remain only 20 contenders in Round 3, which ends Sept. 18. This week and next, fans can vote daily for their favorite band on the Sound & The Jury site.
The five bands to exit Round 3 with the most votes will compete in a live battle of the bands at Austin's iconic music venue Antone's on Sept. 30. One band will be selected at the end of the night by audience ballot vote and an industry judging panel. The winning band will share the experience of performing on the Dell Stage with musical heavyweights Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sonic Youth, Andrew Bird, Bon Iver, Arctic Monkeys, Phoenix, The Decemberists, and many more.
