    About :

    Every two or three years since 2008 , a group of Cleveland musicians organize a lottery to create new bands from dozens of area music veterans- dubbed the Cleveland Lottery League.

    I believe other cities have done similar projects, but don't know where the concept originated. While I had been to some of their events over the years, and even recorded the live mix for the first concert and CD, I had never actually participated in the lottery itself.

    Eventually, in 2016, I decided that this was the year that I was going to participate In the lottery. This was probably the biggest concert and audience I had ever performed for, although I had performed in front of large crowds numerous times-this was the venue where Motorhead broke the world record for loudest concert afterall....and I normally play in weird noise bands and stuff so Getting that opportunity is quite rare.

    This whole event was actually sponsored by Lagunitas Beer...so we got pretty much unlimited beer at the lottery drawing and concert. which was pretty cool-if your into that kinda thing. I did play a gig sponsored by grolsch beer once in Boston in around 2007 with my one band doing east coast dates with OPN's old band-again these are pretty rare I'm not exactly Jimmy Fallon material here.

    So they do a raffle of the 150 people or whatever and up with bands of three to five members who have a month or two to come up with a 15 minute set or something-then they have an all day concert that has all the bands performing. it has been at different venues over all the years and this was perhaps the biggest one.

    Not all the bands make it, Not all the members make it to the end. I'm sure they each have a story to tell, but mine was a great experience- maybe I just lucked out to not get stuck in a boring indie rock band, but most people doing this seem pretty open minded to step out of their comfort zone-so maybe thats what I need!

    I have no word on if they are doing it this year, but I would probably do it again, as I was unable to participate in the 2019 concert, as I had a conflicting event in another state that day.

    Check out the set...I would say we were like Experimental dub funk rock, or something. It turned out pretty decent i thought, although we never played or talked much after the gig. Some bands do go on to continue to perform, release albums etc... which is pretty cool!

    p.s. I also made the video that projects over us!
