As you wake up this morning, does your body ache from going too hard in the pit during the Lost Dog set? Are you still puffy-eyed from having experienced full emotional release during the Crisis Public Relations performance? Or wondering just who on earth was that beautiful person who made brief eye contact during the Monotone Assassins' harmonica solo? Or searching your pockets for your wallet because it's possible you went too low on the dance floor while DJ KoHo was spinning?
If none of this applies to you, that means you probably missed out on Hell Gate's second annual "In Battle, Bands," held this year at Night Club 101 in the East Village. (And if you did miss it, that's possibly because you're not a Hell Gate subscriber—become one now during our biggest sale ever!)
This year, the event, which pits acts featuring local journalists against one another, was actually a cutthroat, winner-take-all (prize: novelty trophy) contest presided over by a group of three steely-eyed judges.
The competition was absolutely fierce! Because not only can these award-winning journalists shine light on the inner workings of our glorious city, they can shred without mercy.
