For several years now, the N&O has been doing an annual "8 local bands to watch" feature called the Great 8. Maybe we should go back through the previous years & see how prescient they've been? Maybe later.

For now, they've posted a "teaser trailer" type thing for this year's installment, which comes out on Friday. I dunno if it's their editing or my own lack of currency with certain facets of the local scene, but I'm only able to ID four of the 8:

For what it's worth, I'm very psyched to see the four that I *can* identify, so bravo N&O.

p.s. since they posted the video, and this is thus not "inside information" or anything, the 4 I recognized are Violet Vector & the Lovely Lovelies, the Loners, Hammer No More the Fingers, and Double Negative (!). Who're the others?
