Award winning, Australian garage rock band British India will be adding an exclusive Northern Territory date to their national tour – to headline Red Bull Bedroom Jam’s first round finale event – The Backyard Jam on Saturday 7th May in Alice Springs.
Red Bull Bedroom Jam is on a mission to discover the crème de la crème of teenage talent rehearsing in bedrooms across the nation. This climatic Backyard Jam final will see four Red Bull Bedroom Jam finalists say adios to the confinements of their poster-clad walls, to rock a live gig alongside British India. One band will then walk away with a mind-blowing music prize; a trip to London to record in Red Bull’s studios and a spot on the line up at the UK’s gnarliest rock festival, Download.
The four kick-ass finalists have already topped Red Bull Bedroom Jam’s custom made online Buzz Chart and subsequently strummed their way through a live webcast performance. Now, acoustic singer and songwriter Scott Boyd, garage band Jagged Lies, four piece rock band Welcome Wednesday, all from Melbourne, and electro thrash metal group The Sky’s The Limit from Alice Springs, will all battle it out for the ultimate prize at the Backyard Jam event.
The Backyard Jam will be taking place in The Sky’s The Limit’s hometown of Alice Springs, as voted by fans on the Backyard Jam Buzz Chart. Now each band is feverishly rehearsing in order to blow away the Alice Springs crowd and prepare for what could be their big break in a notoriously competitive industry.
Last year the Red Bull Backyard Jam winning band Way With Words floored judges with their tight live stage set and song writing skills. Their win propelled them to the next stage of their music career, where they rocked Red Bull’s LA recording studios and recorded a four-song EP under the mentorship of the engineers responsible for the sounds of Good Charlotte and Guns N’ Roses.
For bands itching to get involved, there’s still time to be part of Red Bull Bedroom Jam. The second round of the competition that will send one band to LA this September is now live! Bands simply need to upload a video of an original track to www.redbullbedroomjam.com.au and spread the word to encourage their friends and fans to hop online and generate some noise. The first webcast winner of the next phase will be announced on 2nd June.
