Inner-City Arts was thrilled to host our inaugural Battle of the Bands, a night celebrating youth creativity, live music, and the power of performance. Eight of LA’s youth bands, including four from our own Rock Band classes, performed for a crowd and were judged on their sound, energy, and originality. Congratulations to all of the bands, including the first-place winner, Stray Dolls! We especially thank our guest judges Cuco, Mayer Hawthorne, and Alejandro Cohen of KCRW for their professional insight and encouragement for all of the bands!
