MUSICIANS looking for their big break will get their chance in the BendiGLOW Youth Fest Battle of the Bands competition in September.<\/p>\n

First prize is a studio recording pack from Bendigo Records and a paid gig at a music festival. Second prize is a $100 gift voucher from Muso’s Stuff and a paid gig, and the third placegetter will receive a three-hour studio rehearsal session at YeeHaa Studios.<\/p>\n

Performances will be judged by a panel of prominent members of Bendigo’s music scene.<\/p>\n

Sets by Select All and Junkyard Wizards will follow the competition.<\/p>\n

Live Music Bendigo’s Keith MacQueen said young artists were the future of live music in the region and the festival supported the “vibrancy, vitality and life of our community.”<\/p>\n

“YO Bendigo’s focus on young bands and artists is an important stepping stone for them to keep the strong tradition and culture of live music in our town alive,” he said.<\/p>\n

Battle of the Bands is open to both solo musicians and bands of all genres and is free to enter.<\/p>\n

All members of competing acts must be between 12 and 25 years of age, be based in Greater Bendigo and must perform at least one original song.<\/p>\n

Community radio station Phoenix FM will broadcast live during the event and finalists will have an opportunity to be interviewed on air.<\/p>\n

BendiGLOW – an initiative of YO Events, Greater Bendigo’s FreeZA team – is a celebration of young people, by young people.<\/p>\n

It’s set for the Peter Krenz Leisure Centre basketball stadium from 3pm to 9pm on Saturday 21 September.<\/p>\n

“The Battle of the Bands is a great opportunity for musicians to demonstrate their true passions and win awesome prizes as a reward,” said Festival lead producer Zak Rivers.<\/p>\n

Entry is free but donations to support YO Events will be welcome.<\/p>\n

Entries for Battle of the Bands are open until Monday 13 August and can be submitted at yobendigo.com.au\/BendiGLOW<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
