Global Battle of the Bands
You may remember that local band Powerage went to London last December to play off for $US100,000 in the Global Battle of the Bands. Out of 36 competing countries, they come 2nd, only a whisker away from bringing home the money.
So now it is time for YOU to perform in GBOB 2009. Simply by entering, you immediately win a bag of strings, straps etc from Ernie Ball.
The Newcastle Heat is on Sat 13th June at The Loft, Newcastle Mall Level 1, 7a Wolfe St, Newcastle. This venue has been provided to the GBOB bands by Newcastle City Council – supporting youth and the arts in your district!
