[FUN] Would you like to meet new people? Start a band? Play a show? Then the Queen City Music Lottery is what you’re looking for. The third edition of this event, which creates bands on the spot by drawing names of participants lottery style, begins this Saturday, February 13 when the lottery drawing is held at Sugar City. Here are the rules: first, you have to sign up. Then, your name will be drawn at random along with the names of a few other people who will be your new “band.” You’ll have a little over two months to work with your new bandmates to write 15 minutes worth of music, which you will perform at a showcase with the rest of the randomly thrown together bands. Here is the important part: this requires no musical skill. If you have musical skill at an instrument, this might even be a good opportunity to pick up something new. You never know, you might be paired with three other bass players, and unless you’re doing renditions of Spinal Tap’s “Big Bottom” someone will have to pick up a new instrument. This is all for fun; everyone is welcome, none of this will be judged, and it’s not a competition. This event is presented by Peterwalkee Records, Sugar City, and Queen City Quality Control. Additional details will be provided at the meeting.
