Ever gone out with friends, wound up singing karaoke, and just felt bored? Maybe you need to heat things up with some good old-fashioned competition and leave those jokers behind.
Luckily, competitive karaoke is easy to find in town: The National Karaoke League was formed right here in Austin. Yes, a national league just for karaoke exists. It was just started this year by Whitney Francis and Chris Larkin, who call themselves “karaoke nerds.” The first division opened up with 41 members, and it’s growing strong with new leagues popping up in other cities.
Tonight at the Bennigan’s on Barton Springs Rd you can see what the NKL is all about. Here’s what they’ve been sending around:
The Austin Division of the National Karaoke League invites the Austin media, friends, family, and karaoke lovers to join us for an open house to watch league members battle it out for karaoke supremacy across three rounds of team-based competition. This isn’t your average night at the karaoke bar! Our teams plan out songs all week to wow the crowd, who in turn get to vote for all their favorite performers. Audience members may also be called to participate in wacky karaoke contests, such as “Karaoke Roulette” or “Rock (Lobster) Trivia”.
Note: You’ve gotta be 21 or older to compete. You can read up on the NKL’s rules here.
