The Rock Lottery premise is simple, but effective. Twenty-five hand picked musicians meet at 10:00 AM at the evenings performance venue. These volunteers are organized into five groups through a lottery-based chance selection. The five separate groups are then released to practice at different locations. The musicians have twelve hours to create a band name and three to five songs (with a one cover-song limit). The groups will then perform what they have created that evening in front of a waiting audience.
Black Purple was comprised of Stephen Brodsky (Cave In / Mutoid Man), Zach Jaeger (Chron Turbine), Nora Lum (Awkwafina), Deron Pulley (Les Bonhommes) and Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls / Violent Femmes).
