I used to play in a rock band in Fall River in the mid-60’s. The Empire Theater used to have a Battle of the Bands every weekend between the double features shown there. They even hired two go-go girls that danced in cages on either side of the stage. The winner was judged by the applause from the crowd (way before the Apollo did it). Many local bands performed every weekend at the Empire and it was a blast, win or lose.
