What is the event: This is an exposure based event that gives bands the opportunity to play for the chance to get radio airtime interviews, airplay (if CD is good quality), prizing and play at a high exposure gig and much more.
How does it work: Bands play a one hour set of all original tunes in front of audience and judges. The bands are rated according to criteria and judged by qualified judges. The results are posted on the Blind Beggar Pub website (www.blindbeggarpub.com). The top three bands with the best overall scores will be awarded prizing and exposure accordingly and will play at the OMS X929 private party on Saturday April 5, 2008 at the Blind Beggar Pub.
Judging: Bands will be judged by a panel of music industry judges based on the following criteria.
1) Stage Presence
2) Individual Musicianship
3) Content/Songwriting/Hook
4) Originality
5) Crowd Response
Prizing: Bands will all receive swag from sponsors just for getting up.
