This in from Adam, in his own words. Ed
This Saturday (9th May) sees the first heat of Battle of the Bands at the Isle of Wight’s newest venue, The 1st Floor.
Hollowdrone, The Ohmz and Furthermore will be battling it out to go through to the final on 6th June for the chance to win £500, free recording time at Bad Cow Studios and a photoshoot and video from Fret-Buzz.net.
Adam Radestock, from The 1st Floor, said
“This competition is aimed at giving a boost to the Island’s live music scene, which has been struggling to stay afloat amid venue closures and noise complaints.
“It’s really important to support these up and coming musicians – who knows, we may have the next big thing right here on the Isle of Wight, and it would be a shame if they didn’t get the chance to shine.
“That’s the whole reason I’ve taken a chance and opened a venue on the Island. I hope you all come down and support your favourite band!”
With further heats on 16th and 23rd of May, the final will see the three chosen bands go head-to-head for the main prize.
