The first First Night Battle of the Bands has a winner, by popular vote: Glass Cow!
Thanks to everyone who voted in the contest, and congratulations to the Cows.
Here’s the band’s bio:
Glass Cow is a rock band from Warren Township, NJ. The band has been
performing together since 2008, and consists of four members: Ben
Overzat, lead guitar and vocals; Max Picut, rhythm guitar; Ed
Weisgerber, bass; and Henry Wolfson, drums. All members are 15 years
old. Band members are students at Watchung Hills Regional High School
in Warren Township, and Oratory Prep in Summit.
The band was formed when Ben met Henry during a Warren Middle School
jazz band rehearsal. Henry asked Ben to enter a school talent show,
and through word of mouth they soon recruited Max and Ed. The band
started by playing classic rock covers from The Beatles, the Who, Led
Zeppelin, and the Rolling Stones, and then began writing their own
lyrics and music. Glass Cow performances have evolved to include a
mix of originals and covers.
Glass Cow has performed in such venues as Ha! Comedy Club on West 46th
Street in Times Square, Crossroads in Garwood, the Somerset County 4H
Fair, and at private clubs and parties. They were the summer 2011
winners of the Warren Township Battle of the Bands. Glass Cow’s
recent performance at Greenberrys of Morristown earned them their
place in the First Night Morris 2012 band competition.
