The Throwdowns aren't just growing up—they're dragging the rest of us with them. Instead of getting bored with the Valley Isle's bite-sized music scene and moving to some smoggy place like LA, they're firing up Maui's musical community and demanding that bands play out of their comfort zones. A little competition goes a long way toward waking up talent. That's right, we're talking about a good old-fashioned Battle of the Bands. Out of dozens of entries, a handful were selected to play two original songs each. They include: Mobius Project, Sebrina Baron, Soul Package, Stef Lomeli, Cane Fire, I-nology, Sound of Addiction and Coma. The contest will be judged by Vince Esquire, MauiTime's own Tommy Russo, Scott Johnson of Dogtowne Design and Erin Smith of The Throwdowns. The winning band will get the opportunity to open for the The Throwdowns at The Kona Brew Co/Surfrider Tour on June 12. For those who like to rock but can't yet legally drink, good news: its an all-ages show. 874-1131
