Another big win for the guys was placing an impressive 17th out of 13,179 artists in the Toyota Music Rock This Space competition on Myspace and being voted as the featured artist off the month on the 102.9 Local Buzz website in 2010 proves that Piranah continues to gain recognition as well as dedicated fans with every show and each spin their music receives.
