But I think an image of an album cover is enough to trigger the synapse that tells you that you don&#8217;t care to read this blog post. Fuck you.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this month&#8217;s band is a relatively small-time group called The Main Event. I found &#8217;em on MySpace (actually, <em>they<\/em> found <em>me&#8230; <\/em>spooky), and I&#8217;ve gotta say that they&#8217;re a pretty good act. I got a message from them a while back asking to vote for them on the Ernie Ball\/Music Man Battle of the Bands. Why? So they could win a spot on the 2007 Taste of Chaos tour. As it stands, there&#8217;s a slim chance I might actually make it to Taste of Chaos this year, so that&#8217;s cool. I doubt they&#8217;re ahead (hell if I&#8217;m going to check), but I&#8217;m asking you to go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.battleofthebands.com\/profile.php?path=rockthemainevent\" target=\"_blank\">vote for them<\/a> too. I rather like them, and it would kick major ass to see them live.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I also purchased their CD. It&#8217;s only six songs, which is really disappointing. And they&#8217;re not long either, so it&#8217;s not like Deep Purple or Dream Theater where they make up for few songs with long songs. The good thing is that it&#8217;s really good, and I heartily recommend it. It&#8217;s six dollars, so what have you got to lose? If you&#8217;ve got a Paypal account with six bucks, pop over to their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/rockthemainevent\" target=\"_blank\">MySpace page<\/a> and click the &#8220;buy now&#8221; button. You can also listen to four sixths of the album on that page, so it&#8217;s all up to you. Just for reference though, the two songs that aren&#8217;t on their MySpace page are two of the best ones. Frankly, I think &#8220;Heartless&#8221; rocks all over the place, but &#8220;Neverland&#8221; and &#8220;Burning Inside&#8221; are each as good as their three other songs combined.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, I like The Main Event. Best band I&#8217;ve found through MySpace to date (though that&#8217;s not to say that there weren&#8217;t any other spectacular ones). Big recommendation for them, and I can only hope their next CD is as good as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Built From Scratch<\/span>, possibly a little longer too. 23 minutes is just a little too short.<\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230; I dunno. <a href=\"http:\/\/torrential-e.deviantart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sketchbook&#8230; Tuesdays?
