    Battle of the Bands IX

    [​IMG]

    As it happens, over the course of 8 BotB, only 2 Australian acts have ever made an appearance, so it's time to change that. And in a way am happy about that, because it means that there really will be the very best of Aus hopefully represented here, alol.

    This was always my intended BotB IV, originally scheduled to be run in March this year, but then my absence and Minty's UK v US season kinda took the thunder immediately from running another geographical season so close, haha.

    But the reason I had wanted to do this back in March and doing it now, is that it was 20 years ago in March that I left Australia, and have only fleetingly been back ever since, for a grand total of about 6 months in all that time.

    But a the song goes, I still call Australia 'home'.

    And besides, Tom Rogic played a blinder this weekend, so hey, if not for me, then hopefully will inspire him to keep putting out performances like that, haha.

    Eligibility

    Yeah, ok, will allow Kiwis also, alol.

    Any Australian band or solo artist is eligible, including those previously featured. This also includes any band which includes at least 1 Aussie or Kiwi, and any international artist that has resided in Australia for over 2 year minimum (so this includes the likes of Ben Folds, Evan Dando etc) and so that basically includes all those Kiwis from NZ as well. :icon_mrgreen:

    And believe me, there are some absolutely awesome acts and sounds that have not been tapped into as yet in this comp, and ersonally I have been looking forward to hosting this particular BotB since last year.

    **************

    Please Note


    Something for you all to think about. I won't be running this for a few weeks, but this is so people can start putting some thought to it.

    Start Date is roughly 2 weeks away

    ***************

    Twenty years of living in New Zealand, America, Canada and mostly here in Scotland and putting up with all you lot. :bbpd:

    I need a break, as as a trip home isn't possible at this time, this will have to do. :smiley-laughing002:

    Time to make me feel a little less homesick. :50:

    Not to mention AC/DC, Sherbet, Lorde and The Seekers. (although we all know AC/DC are Scottish, as is Jimmy Barnes)

    I will give this a miss. I am not a major fan of any Down Under artist, although i quite like many of them.......but i dont have too much of an inclination to go through a new artists catalogue at this point in time as i am quite busy.

    Good luck to all those involved.
