Wanted: dead or alive - Canterbury's next biggest musical vigilantes, a new brand of outlaw who shred from the hip; who will be the 2010 RounDUp Renegades? This showdown is open to all brave enough to face their fears and join the ranks of past Round Up outlaws including The Klap, The Tiger Tones, Bang! Bang! Eche!, Slipstream and The Undercurrents, Shapeshifter, The O'Lovelies, The Deceivers, The Insurgents, Heavy Jones Trio, P Bass Expressway and 2009 overall winner; Sleep Age.

- WHO WILL BE THE SHARPEST SHOOTERS OF 2010? -

The Christchurch live music scene is thriving, with over 500 bands currently listed on the CHART (christchurchmusic.org.nz) website. The Dux de Lux RounDUp 2010 is a tangible example of RDU's commitment to developing locally produced, original music and sharing it with the wider New Zealand music industry.  RDU 98.5FM is stoked to be collaborating with Christchurch's key music industry partners to provide the winning band with the opportunity to get their career as a band rolling.

RounDUp 2009 showed just how necessary a competition like this is with over 50 original bands entering.  Enter at the Dux de Lux, Hunters and Collectors or via http://www.rdu.org.nz/.

The 2010 Concrete Club Decknology is the South Islands premiere DJ competition. This fierce battle at the decks was designed to provide up and coming DJs and Producers experience and exposure in the live mix environment and to find the best damn DJ in the Garden City. Decknology 2010 rolls out a series of heats then a number of genre bending semi finals. Winners of each semi final then compete for the title of "Decknology Grand Champion 2010".

Past Decknology competitions have garnered a staggering number of entrants. It is anticipated that more than 100 DJs (bedroom and experienced alike) will enter this year's competition.  Here at RDU we say - bring the noise!
