Awesome idea tweaks battle of the bands

Leave it to a South Dakota coffeehouse to brew up a tasty-sounding twist on the time-honored battle of the bands. The Red Rooster Coffee House in Aberdeen hosted a cunning competition that tossed local musicians together into impromptu musical groups, giving the baby bands just two days to work up sets worthy of public performance, according to The American News.

The 48-hour battle of the bands sounds like a blast. Sure wish some San Francisco club owners would put that much time, effort and creativity into the musical side of their businesses. Half the time Frisco clubs' PAs don't work or are completely inadequate. And don't get me started on the attitude thrown by some of the staffers. Oh well, a fella can dream ...

I know where I'm stopping for a cuppa Joe next time I'm in the Mount Rushmore State.
