Sutherland Shire Battle Of The Bands 2010

Published Feb. 18, 2010 at 5:06 p.m.

Sorry for the late notice about this but having just moved to the Sutherland Shire in South Sydney I thought that this looked like a great opportunity for young guitarists in the area to get the chance to record a band demo in a professional studio. If you don’t have a chance to enter you might be able to go along to some of the gigs in order to check out emerging talent. Check out the press release below:

‘Battle of the Bands’ is run by the council’s youth events committee ‘Shire Events Crew’. Auditions and heats will be held in March and the final is set for 9 April 2010.

‘Battle of the Bands’ is one of the few youth music events in the south of Sydney allowing emerging bands to play gigs to under 18s and which allows up and coming bands an opportunity to perform to a broader audience.

Bands in the competition have gone on to enjoy other success with the 2009 ‘Battle of the Bands’ winner, ‘Azlock’, releasing an EP in October 2009, later reaching Number 6 on the Triple J Unearthed
charts. ‘Azlock’ went on to perform a number of gigs over Sydney and the south coast and has supported Amity Affliction.

To enter Sutherland Shire Council’s ‘Battle of the Bands’ post an application form and a demo CD to the council’s Youth Events and Project Officer, Locked Bag 17, Sutherland NSW 2232. Application
forms and further details are available at http://www.sutherland.nsw.gov.au

Auditions will be held at Jannali Community Hall from 10am to 8pm on 6 March 2010. Heats will be held at the Jannali Community Hall from 6.30pm to 10.30pm on 12 March and 26 March 2010, with
the final to be held at the Sutherland Entertainment Centre on 9 April from 6.30pm to 10.30pm. Among the prizes being offered, thanks to generous support from Billy Hyde Music Taren Point, will
be rehearsals at Studio 57 and a recording package for the band.

The winner will also be offered a spot at the ‘Down the Park’ youth music event in April as part of Youth Week 2010 as well as other prizes. All events are presented by the Shire Events Crew,
council’s Youth Events Committee, and are drug and alcohol free.

Entries for ‘Battle of the Bands’ close at 4pm on 19 February 2010 and band members must be aged between 12-25 years - and at least two band members must live in the Sutherland Shire.
