Xconomy: Battle of the Bands is Back!

The Battle of the Bands has come to offer a welcome respite for the winter blahs. For the last few years, Xconomy has pulled together this fun event at the venerable Middle East in Cambridge, and the tech community has responded with enthusiasm. Everyone heads in to huddle from the cold, reconnect with other techies and share some brews.

This year's event has a twist - the event will pit Seattle bands against Boston bands. Privately, colleagues - who would only agree to comment off the record - have expressed concerns about this matchup. While Boston has a vibrant music scene, Seattle's record of successful bands speaks for itself. Brows are furrowing.

February 4th will tell the tale. We'll see you there.
