musicq Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Tribute bands need not apply as a new search is set to unearth the real future of British music. mobileAct unsigned, the first show to appear on both T4 and 4music, promises gigs, a tour, TV exposure and a major record deal to the cream of Britains untapped music talent in its search to find the freshest unsigned act in the country. The search will be led by a panel of well-known artists and industry experts and is open to musicians from all genres, from hip hop to rock, who write and perform their own original music and can prove they deserve the ultimate prize. Alex Zane has been confirmed as the host.Initial auditions for the 12 week TV series will take place via the mobileAct website (mobileAct unsigned :: Welcome) where unsigned bands can submit their own tracks and videos before the best 50 are invited to filmed auditions. The series will kick off on Channel 4 with a unique mobileAct unsigned music festival and UK tour where the chosen musicians will perform to raise support from fans and impress the judges as they battle it out to win places in the live final. Along the way they will receive master classes from their idols and learn the inside track on how to make it in the industry. To stand a chance to be one of 50 bands auditioned for the show, bands/crews should upload their own material to mobileAct unsigned :: Welcome from 10th July 2007. All entries must be in by August 5th 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 which of my idols would be giving me a master class? can i get it guaranteed that one of my idols will be there should we win? looks like an okay competition if that's what you want out of music. not sure it's for us though but i'll no doubt watch the show when i'm hungover on a sunday. what's the bets that it's only good looking teenage groups that appear on it if it's a t4 show might be worth doing just to bop alex zane on the nose, he's well annoying.
