Battle of the Bands Finale: Lunar Levitation drops out

Battle #1 winner Lunar Levitation has dropped out of the lineup for the Finale. Lyn is working on scheduling another Battle #1 band to fill the slot. We'll let you know if and when we get a commitment.

Battle #4: Thanks to Revence, King James and The Faded Truth

Battle #4 might have been the best one yet. We had beautiful skies, some great music both original and familiar once again -- and most of all, we had our best crowd so far.

And once again, we got some great feedback from everyone. The paying customers had a great day, with several making a point of telling us how much fun they had. And the musicians keep telling us they love this venue and can't wait to come back.

Pulp Fiction, a Minimalist Movie print

Imagekind, an online art gallery featuring the works of independent artists, has a cool collection called Minimalist Movie.

Twenty-three artists have contributed more than 400 works to this collection of prints that present stark, simple, subtle interpretations of key scenes or concepts in classic, well-known movies.

One of my favorites is Pulp Fiction, by Mihir Desai, a Singapore screenwriter and producer who moonlights as a design artist.

Desai's print is a perfect statement for a fan of the 1994 Quentin Tarantino masterpiece: Behind all the madness and mayhem everyone remembers from this movie, there was a causative factor that led us only to speculation.

Desai displays several prints at Imagekind in a personal collection, MinimalistPosters. Among his other inspirations are Speed, Gladiator and Batman Begins.

Pulp Fiction can be purchased as a 6-by-10-inch paper print for $19. Imagekind also offers larger prints and framing options.

Battle #4: One Day and L84dnr are co-winners

One Day

L84dnr

The last two bands on stage Saturday night for Battle #4 -- One Day and L84dnr -- turned out to be the day's best.

Battle #4 is under way

Battle of the Bands #4 is under way. The third band of the day, The Faded Truth, just finished up.

There's still plenty of time to catch some good music at Sun Valley Jams. We have five bands still to perform, and the weather is great. So head on out.
