The Show
It was an amazing show on Friday. All the bands had outstanding performances. The crowd was also a lot of fun. And a big thanks to last year's champion, Sinphonics, for closing out an incredible show.

It's not over though. Oh no. We've still got the TV show to air on Friday, July 18 at 9:30 pm. After the concert airs on Fox 11, come back here and vote for your favorite and help choose the next Tucson Music Melee champion.

The Basics
Fox 11 and FOX11AZ.com in cooperation with KXCI Community Radio are asking any and all local musicians to send us a music video of an original song. We will put the song on FOX11AZ.com and ask the community to vote for their favorites (online voting details). The top 5 video entries will be asked to participate in a live performance at the historic Rialto Theatre on July 11. The performances will be recorded and placed online again for a final round of voting. A winner will be chosen and given a prize package that includes a professionally produced concept video, studio time, and gift certificates to a music store. (winner selection details).
