Battle of the Bands?
Posted by: mark ˑ September 29, 2008 – 11:58 pmA reader named Cain wrote in and told me that he is organizing a Battle of the Bands competition, which will run in November. Kind of nifty, assuming he can pull it off. Best of luck to him and his Battle.
His message follows:
Hey guys i’m organising a battle of the bands in Ole Stompers in Iteawon during November and was wondering if anyone here is interested in playing.
There will be three heats played on Sat 8th Nov, Sat 15th Nov and Sat 22nd of Nov. The winner of each night will go to the final on Sat 29th Nov. In addition the best runner up of the three nights will also qualify for the final. So bands need to be free for one of the heat nights and MUST be available to play the night of the final.
The Grand prize is 1,000,000won cold hard cash! Also we are working on prizes for the runners up including studio time, alcohol and any other shit we can get our hands on! Bands will be judged on originality, stage preformance, musicianship and crowd reaction.
For those of you who have been to Stompers before you know what to expect. For those who haven’t expect a warm welcome, an owner who is also a musician and knows how to treat bands, free beer and a crowd who love rockn’roll. We going to really promote this show so expect a big crowd.If you’re interested let me know as soon as you can. Also if there is a date you would prefer to play let me know and i will do my best to keep everybody happy. Closing date for applications is 8th November. Please include a myspace or something where i can check out your tunes
