Each year at the Wedgewood Rooms they host a huge unsigned band showcase. This year 50 bands are competing across 10 heats, semis, playoff and Final for a valuable prize package designed to help out aspiring rockstars. Each heat winner is decided by 75% industry judges and 25% audience vote. Unlike many “Battle of the Bands” style events, the bands picked for each heat are designed to complement each other so it works as a decent gig, and the focus is on enjoying some quality live music and having a good time. Tomorrow and Thursday sees heats 6 and 7, heat 6 will feature the following:
Hailed as the “Hottest new act to crashland on the planet”
Classically British blend of psychedelic indie, mod, and northern soul.
THE DOWNING STREET YEARS
Two crazy gypsy-punk youths into squealing and hitting things.
Footstomping funk-rock and hook-laden indie tuneage.
Hotly tipped alternative indie-rockers already booked for Southsea Fest.
So that is five bands for £5, a bargain. For more information see The Wedgewood Rooms website or on Facebook.
