Story by Melissa Davlin Times-News writer

Staying after school has never been so cool. Hordes of students filed into Roper Auditorium last week for 2009’s first Battle of the Bands. Local favorites, including ska band SKiTTiSH iTZ and Christian hardcore group RunElisaRun, competed against newcomers like Dark Chthonic and Captain Geech and the Photos by Meagan Thompson Shrimp Shack Shooters for gift certificates from Times-News Welch Music. The result: a night filled with diverse sounds and brimming with local tal- ent. The competition, spon- sored by the Twin Falls music store, featured musicians younger than 21. The idea, said Tim Votroubek of Welch Music, is to give young musicians a place to play in a town where few ven- ues exist outside of the bar scene. Expect more Battles this year at the store, which is preparing to open a music venue at its Pole Line Road loca- tion. Musicians had one song to impress the judges. The bands scurried backstage to set up their equipment, then break it down after their song to make way for the next act. Musicians in the wings poked fun at other performers while waiting for their turns to wow the crowd.
