Local teen musicians win studio time
Nicky Barot Band to cut a pro-quality demo after winning band battle.
ORANGE €“ What€™s more important than being right up against the stage taking in some face-melting rock riffs? Staying alive.
At
least that is the message from the musicians€™ national anti-drunk
driving group, RADD. RADD, along with three dozen health and
law-enforcement groups held a teen battle of the bands at The Block at
Orange.
The pop/grunge act, the Nicky Barot Band won first
place of the three finalists who played live at the Block. The
pop-grunge act played a couple songs, including €œEasy to See,€ the more
technically demanding of their originals.
Nicky Barot, 14, of
Los Alamitos High School writes most of the music for the band. He
described his chosen genre as €œrock with pop influences.€
The
event, accompanied by doctors, police, drug experts and exhibitors,
kicked off Red Ribbon Week. The yearly drug and alcohol awareness
campaign was set up to commemorate the murder by drug cartel members of
a local undercover DEA Agent.
The three acts were pulled form
more than a dozen applicants were picked to play live Saturday, leading
up to a performance from MySpace recording artist Samantha Jade. Jade
was one of the judges, as well as KIIS FM DJ Fat Daniel and Steven
Lambert, a musician and one of the event€™s organizers.
Coming
is second was Along These Lines, a trio with ties to Tesoro, Capistrano
and Saddleback Valley Christian high schools. Cole Patterson €“ one of
the guitarists €“ couldn€™t make it because Capo High€™s Homecoming dance
was Saturday.
€œOur music is mostly based off lyrics,€ said Ryan Holley, 15, who writes music for the band.
€œIf the lyrics are more serious, the music will be heavy,€ added band mate Tyler Spry 15.
The
heaviest of all the bands, which ranked third, was Sidistic. Marked by
speedy melodic metal riffs and growling vocals, Judges said Sidistic
won on energy, but missed out because theirs chosen genre had a smaller
niche audience than the other groups.
€œI like metal,€ Lambert said. €œBut it was hard to measure in terms of popular appeal.€
Most
of the members are 18 and 19 and graduated from Perris High School in
Riverside, but one member is still attending Gilbert High School in
Anaheim.
€œOur music is heavy, but it has a melodic side,€ said Sidistic€™s lead guitarist and songwriter Juan Perez.
The
Nicky Barot band won several hours of professional recording time in a
studio, along with producers and technicians to handle the session.
