Battle of the Bands Update

The Beatles

Round Three of the Battle of the Bands on Dr. John's Record Shelf came to end last night, with two contests in the Pop Bracket. No. 1 seed the Beatles took down fellow scousers the Searchers (5) by a 7-0 score, while Buffalo Springfield (3) edged the Troggs (10) by a surprisingly close 4-3 margin. This means that the Springfield won the right to challenge the Beatles to see who will represent their bracket in the Final Four.

Buffalo Springfield

Songs in competition this week were "Ticket to Ride" by the Beatles, "Don't Throw Your Love Away" by the Searchers, "Rock and Roll Woman" by Buffalo Springfield, and "With a Girl Like You" by the Troggs. Here are the fourth round match-ups for the next two weeks (songs will be picked by the end of the week, and posted here when they are selected): Pop: Beatles v. Buffalo Springfield; Empire: Led Zeppelin v. the Kinks; Mod: the Who v. Deep Purple; Teddy Boy: Rolling Stones v. the Animals. The longest shot still alive is Deep Purple, who were seeded no. 7 in their bracket. All the others remaining contestants were seeded 1,2, or 3. Suggestions for songs to be played n the next round can be left in the comments section.
