Welcome to the end of Summer 2010. The heat has been relentless for what seems like 95% of the year, and it always appears that there's no end to it in sight. But we've survived till September, and noone's been feeling the heat more than our 26 contestants as they reach the home stretch of AZPunk's Thrash of the Titans 2 battle at Hollywood Alley on Saturday September 25th.
Last month, I met up with a bunch of our Titan participants at the Q & Brew in Tempe for a pseudo pub crawl podcast (editor's note: this is actually podcast #3. #2 with Said Gun had to be postponed due to technical difficulties). With a month already down the drain at this time, I wanted to see how everyone was getting along, or if anyone had killed each other yet. Everyone seemed to keep with their aura of suspense, clamming up when asked about their band's style and what they were going to be bringing to the battle. Armed with my trusty new Droid X, I did manage to get some cool pictures, and a couple musicians to chat a bit. Just a friendly family warning, these interviews are all raw audio made from a guy who with otherwise pushing the record button, has no idea what he's doing.
As for our 6th band, Hand-Dick Coordination, we have no clue what's up with them. They were a no-show. Hopefully this elusive crew has something awesome to bring to the competition on the 25th. So far, we haven't heard a peep from these kids, and the showtime clock is ticking! The lineup is set, nerves are running high, and we're 20 days away! Mark your calendars for September 25, because AZPunk's Thrash of the Titans 2 battle will tear down the walls of Hollywood Alley!
