2009 RounDUp comp winners

A MASSIVE congrats to the winners of the 2009 RounDUp comp, Sleepy Age.
From here they jump in to the studio the day after the comp (so today!) and the prize galore just keeps on coming.

Also, another congrats goes out to Miles McDougall for his musical project Pikachunes winning the Best Demo competition for his track 'Fire'. He's off to Auckland to spend some time in the Red Bull studios with well-known producer, Recloose. Not to mention a years supply of Red Bull- no excuses for being tired now Miles! :P

Its been an amazing comp this year, it was great to meet you all and we'll see you again soon no doubt. (Do come and say hello if you see me around :D)

And check out the vids from the finals night on the RDU You Tube channel! Doooo it!

Much love & all that stuff...

Howdy all,

All times are FINAL.

As you can see, you get 15min changeovers. To all the bands on first, you can start setting up sometime before 8pm. Mainz & i will be there from 7pm, so you are more than welcome to come anytime after that- especially if you are fussy about getting a good sound out of the amps etc. To everyone else- you are also welcome to come early to check out the steez and put your gear in the allocated space. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to get through a packed crowd with your gear. Plus i'll need people to have a nice cool Dux beer with hahaha.

Also. Marcus would like each band to fill out a stage plot. Attached is the stage plot below...please modify to your specifications so we can be prepared and make you sound amazing. Or somewhat close to :P (Once again- TECHNOLOGICALLY IMPAIRED. I hope it works!)
Please email these to me at mali@brokenhillrecords.com
(More urgently: Weaponized, 5DM, Bloodmoney & Soulsystem :D)

All the best! (Had to think of something that wasn't the usual 'Good Luck')
