Here Come The Birds, entering UncharTED waters.
Check this out Newcastle band Here Come the Birds have been selected by Sony/BMG as their media pick in the Tooheys Extra Dry UncharTED band competition (www.uncharted.com.au).
Here’s a quote from the guys, “We were selected as the first media pick from over 1300 bands across Australia, which lets us to go straight to the semi-final stage of the competition – bypassing the first public voting stage. There are 8 bands in the semi-final stage of the competition, divided into two pools of four bands: the public pool and the media pool. One band from each pool goes through to the grand final, with the winner going on to open the main stage at the Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay in August, along with $20 000 to fund a do-it-yourself label package including studio time and legal consultancy.”
So what can I’m With The Band readers do to help you through to the finals? “In order for us to get through to the grand final we need people to vote for us, it’s that simple. Voting begins on 16th June and goes for eleven days, with the winner announced on 27th June.”
