Does Auckland Have the Best Band in the World?
The Global Battle of the Bands (GBOB) is a huge worldwide event with over 30 countries involved and a first prize is
worth US$100,000! Auckland bands now have the chance of a lifetime to get noticed and make it big through this
international competition.
In 2011, Auckland bands were applauded by the music industry judges. It was a close battle, and after the results were
confirmed, ‘Heathen Eyes’ and ‘Afterthought’ stole their place in the Australasian Final! Now the 2012 Heat is
confirmed, which leaves New Zealand wondering which new hot band will emerge, and take the title of National Champion.
There have been some great acts produced in this city, bands that feel they need the recognition they deserve, now have
the chance.
The Auckland Heat is on Sunday 10 June from 8pm. Bands wanting to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and
a chance at the title of ‘Best New Band in the World’, need to contact organisers now by emailing redletter@bigpond.com or calling the Sydney number of +612 9519 3978.
Not only does the Australasian Finalist get flown overseas to the World Final (all expenses paid), but there are also
lots of other great prizes to be won. With GigLaunch subscriptions, FujiFilm cameras and cool Converse Chuck Taylor
shoes on offer, local bands that think they have what it takes, would be crazy to pass it up!
Music lovers should come along and check out the Heat too, and vote for their favorite band. Who knows, maybe the band
they vote for, will be New Zealand and the World’s next big thing!
