Open for the Homegrown fest

Press release: Jim Beam is giving some lucky band the chance to play alongside the country’s premier rock acts on the Jim Beam Rock Stage at Vodafone Homegrown.

With only two months to go until the massive kiwi music festival in Wellington, Jim Beam is on the hunt for a Band to kick off one of the most comprehensive Kiwi rock line ups ever assembled.

Not only will the winners be playing ahead of the likes of Elemeno-P, Pluto, The Feelers, Kora, Opshop and Shihad, they will also be treated like true rock-stars. Flights to Wellington, accommodation and the full VIP backstage treatment with complimentary beverages courtesy of Jim Beam are also up for the taking.

The Rock Radio station will run the competition during their new show 'Advanced Warning' from March 5 to the 26th. To be eligible Bands must be able to play a full set of their own music and not be signed to a major record label. Potential bands are asked to send in a CD of their best work to The Rock, Private Bag 47560, Ponsonby, Auckland.
