Free Fractious Friday Fun!

This Friday, Fractious and Squares Are Best, two alt-rock bands, go head to head in the second round of the Zippo Hot Tour. It's a battle of the bands, and Austinist is asking you to come out and support Fractious because their drummer is our little brother. Yeah, that's right, we get to do that.

The bands who made it to round 2 have already battled their way through a rigorous people's choice process that lasted nearly 6 months. So you know these bands are at least that good. The winner of this round goes on to a national competition, and then the winner of that round goes on a huge tour and gets lots of money and fame and women and all of that rock and roll stuff. Plus, we imagine they'll have all the cigarette lighters they can handle.

And again, we ask that when it comes down to voting for either Fractious or that other band, that you vote for Fractious. A vote for Fractious is a vote for the editor of this site getting to walk around his house in his underwear for months at a time!
