On Saturday October 9, 2004 the first annual Battle of the Bands competition was held on the parking decks in downtown North Wilkesboro, NC. This event was a fundraiser for Tiffany's Place and Historic Downtown North Wilkesboro. 20 professional and amateur bands participated in the competition before a crowd of over 2000. The types of music ranged from heavy metal, R&B, to Christian Rock. The WB network was on hand to film the event for the television show "  Fast Track to Fame ".  Jason Carlton, of GoWilkes.com, one of the organizers for the competition, stated  this is a 13 segment show to be aired in the Southeast sometime in the future. A Christian hard rock band from Archdale, The 7 Method, was awarded the best professional rock band. $1000 was the prize for first place in this event. The winner of best instrumentals was Delorean, a group from Carrboro, NC. Best vocals went to "Little Miss Messy" of Durham.
The winner of the amateur competition was a group from Chapel Hill, NC. "Eyes to Space" was awarded the $100 prize for best amateur performance.
