It’s about time for another 24 local bands to square off in the annual Rock ‘n’ Roll Rumble at T.T. the Bear’s Place. Rumble organizer and WZLX “Boston Emissions” host Anngelle Wood has announced the nightly lineups for the event’s six preliminaries in mid-April.

Long run by WBCN, the Rumble has served as a rite of passage (win or lose, because nobody really loses) for decades of Boston bands, from the Neighborhoods and ’Til Tuesday to the Dresden Dolls and last year’s winning Goddamn Draculas — or the Drax for short. After the week of preliminaries (including a traditional Wednesday off for rest), the semi-finals kick in on Thursday and Friday, April 23-24, followed by the finals on Friday, May 1. Here’s the preliminaries schedule, with nightly set times for each band:
