The nominees are in. The voting is open. The 2007 Pitch Music Awards are on a collision course with your ass.
Hell yes.
A panel of more than 30 local music experts -- people whose lives are invested in the Kansas City and Lawrence music scenes in one way or another -- have chosen the nominees in categories that we feel best represent what's going on in the sonic landscape here.
The voting begins now, and the process culminates with the year's best local music pub crawl, Friday, August 3, with the Pitch Music Showcase in Westport. That's followed by the Awards Ceremony, where the winners are crowned as copious drinks are consumed and hijinks are perpetrated at the Uptown Theater on Friday, August 10.
