    Default our band find ourselves in a cool comp!

    Hi,
    last thursday, we got a facebook message asking if we were available to fill in after a band dropped out of a heat in a comp... we had 1 hour to be on stage..
    to cut a long story short, we turned up, with just guitars and a double kick pedal, set up on a borrowed kit etc and played, we only had 20 minutes to do it, and decide on a set list, of 45 mins.
    we just went for it and we actually won, and we have more heats coming up!
    now we know what's up for grabs, we are going to try really hard.

    the prizes
    £1000 cash
    a day on a recording studio
    6 paid pub gigs
    and a slot at a music festival

    It was a real fun night!
    I will let you know if we get any further!

    That's great. Have they told you which festival is up for grabs? Would it be near you or is it a national competition?

    The line between the real world and the machine world is becoming more and more blurred every day.But its not that humans are turning into automations or becoming slaves to the machines.No, we're simply growing toward each other!

    Hi, I guess it will be a little local thing, I would love to play the tribfest, we have it every year, loads of tribute bands BUT a young and unsigned stage too, it gets about 4000 people there.

    we will have to wait and see!
    got to get through the next round first.
