Drumroll, please! SpareFoot, a startup based in the “Live Music Capital of the World,” is scouring Austin to offer one local musician or band the chance to strut their stuff at one of the city’s best parties.

SpareFoot’s first-ever Battle of the Storage Bands contest is hunting for musical acts from the Austin area who practice in local self-storage units. Beginning Jan. 13, a local musician or band can submit a YouTube video of a performance of an original song through SpareFoot’s Battle of the Storage Bands tab on Facebook.

SpareFoot’s Band Selection Committee then will consider the three musical acts that have collected the most online votes by Feb. 21. Committee members will choose the one act that will play a 30-minute set to open The SpareFoot Party on March 7 at Austin’s Scoot Inn. Plus, the winner will receive VIP passes to the party, along with event transportation and one night’s lodging.
