About Me


Stay tuned for scheduling information regarding Seattle Rock Lottery 05 and Denton Rock Lottery 11
Description:
The Rock Lottery premise is simple, but effective. Twenty-five hand picked musicians meet at 10:00AM at the evenings performance venue. These volunteers are organized into five groups through a lottery-based chance selection. The five separate groups are then released to practice at different locations. The musicians have twelve hours to create a band name and three to five songs (with a one cover-song limit). The groups will then perform what they have created that evening in front of a waiting audience.
The twenty-five musicians included in this experiment are selected in an attempt to represent a wide variety of musical styles. This event intends to bring together many facets of the North Texas music community that may seem incompatible as well as musicians whose interests may conflict. The challenge for these musicians is to try and go beyond their personal and musical differences and work together to create a unified group project that still contains the personal styles of each of the participants.
Background:
Instigated by Good/Bad Art Collective music coordinator Chris Weber in 1997, the Rock Lottery has become a highly anticipated annual music event in the North Texas and Seattle areas. In its ten-year history the Rock Lottery has featured over three hundred musicians from some of these area’s most acclaimed national and international acts ( Aqueduct , Bedhead , The Baptist Generals , Brave Combo , Built to Spill , Centro-matic , Fleet Foxes , Harvey Danger , Lift to Experience , The Long Winters , Maktub , Mother love Bone , Murder City Devils , Pedro the Lion , The Polyphonic Spree , The Riverboat Gamblers , Slobberbone , Smoosh , Tiny Vipers , and The Toadies , among many others).
If you have any materials (video, audio, etc.) related to previous Rock Lottery events, please contact us. Your donated materials could be used in future archive projects (with full accreditation).
A live performance from Seattle Rock Lottery 2 is featured in YETI 4!

The band Somos Marquee Homos featuring Conor St. Kiley ( Holy Ghost Revival ), Spencer Moody ( Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death ), Jason Kirk (FULL), Dave Brozowski ( Tall Birds ), and David Bazan ( Pedro the Lion ) perform "Down and Out in Madrid and Barcelona".
