After the house lights came up and the bands and fans went home, it was clear: Jayplay Live rocked The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., last Saturday night. The battle-of-the bands show featured a variety of musical styles spanning hard rock, bluegrass and hip-hop, and a prize of $300 was awarded to the winning band, Dead Girls Ruin Everything. Other performers who packed the venue included Jeff Kanterman and City Limits, Device 1461, Black Ale Sinners (formerly known as Saddlerash), 3 A.M. and Ten Hour Drive. Raffle giveaways included three Nintendo GameCubes and tickets to the Wakarusa Music Festival at Clinton Lake and The Strokes concert in Kansas City, Mo. If you didn't make it to the show, take a look at what you missed.
