Hold on to your hats, ‘cos we’re about to strap on our flying boots and head over the waters to New Zealand! On Wednesday 17th September we’ve got our very first New Zealand GBOB Heat for 2008! So keep an eye out for some fresh Kiwi talent we’ll be inviting back to our shores! You never know...they could be the next Evermore!

The Global Battle of the Bands (GBOB) Challenge 2008 is hitting up every nook and cranny of Australasia to unearth the best band in the territory, so they can be flown to the UK to battle it out for the 1st prize of US$100,000. And the next stop on this rocking GBOB tour is Auckland!

For the first time ever, GBOB is giving New Zealand bands the chance to battle it out for the massive 1st place prize of US$100,000! The tyranny of distance will for the first time work in the favour of New Zealanders. The reason being, the Auckland Heat has been rated as not only a local qualifier, but also a Regional Final. Thus, the winner of the Auckland Heat will not have to attend a secondary play-off to qualify for the Australasian National Final – they will go straight through to the National Final, held at the Hilton’s State Room in Sydney on 3rd November!

To add to this amazing opportunity, each member of the winning band of the Regional Finals will be showered with prizes, including a pair of the coveted Chuck Taylor Converse Shoes (a must in any musician’s wardrobe), a bag of goodies from Earnie Ball and a Fuji Z20 Digital Camera.
All Regional Final winners will be included in press releases to GBOB’s network of major music industry players and sponsors, which include Channel [V] and Triple M. Channel V will be broadcasting footage of the bands at the Australasian Final as well as following them to the World Final in London, and the winner of the Australasian Final will be featured across the Triple M network.

This all ages spectacular event kicks off at 7:00pm at The Dogs Bollix (2 Newton Rd. Auckland). Audience vote counts for 50% of the overall score – so remember to bring your mates!

Bands, pay attention – US$100,000 and international fame could be yours. Don’t miss out on your chance to be the winner of the GBOB Challenge 2008. Registrations will close soon, so just head to www.gbob.com, follow the Australia links and you’re on your way!

Register your band NOW for your chance to win the biggest band competition the world has ever seen.


Please note: Global Battle of the Bands is not to be confused with World Battle of the Bands which is organised by NZ Record Label Intergalactic Records.
