Before i begin, id like to say this is not a gripe just because we came second last year
But, i would like to warn all bands and artists about a competition happening this year in November, its called The Red Battle
Its a farcicle battle of the bands which most bands pulled out of halfway like Enrapture, due to realising its absolute insanity
They want you to pay 50p a vote and Text for the bands to win, which is ridiculous, because it then becomes a competition between who can make the red battle the most money by racking up there mobile phone contract bill
not to mention half way through the competition they mention oh, you wont get payed unless you sell 50 million tickets
Oh and for most of the shows they charge a ridiculous door price, and with each heat the price goes up.
Im pretty sure a lot of the bands who played it with us last year will agree it was an absolute farce...Apart from the winners of course
haha
Anyway, its a LOT of unneeded hassle for local bands, so i just wanted to give y'all a bit of a pre-warning, as theyve recently started accepting applications
for those of you already confirmed for it, good luck! but honestly, i think youll see after the first heat that i'm right.
theres some massive prizes up for grabs in this competition, but you'll lose your dignity and respect for it.
anyway yes, Red battle 09 - avoid if possible, just giving my two cents of advice! dont have to follow it. and again its not a gripe because we came second in it last year
we all wanted to pull out with the rest of the guys in round 2! but thought we'd see it through to the end.
