RENSSELAER FALLS -- Rensselaer Falls band Tyrade has a chance to open at the Darien Lake Uproar Festival with Godsmack, Staind, Shinedown, Papa Roach and many more.

The opportunity is part of an online contest at http://battle.rockstaruproar.com/home.eb. Tyrade nearly won a similar contest last year and band members are hoping the community help ensure they don't miss their second chance.
