Battle of the Bands (Uproar Fest Contest) Update
« on: August 01, 2013, 08:27:18 PM »
Just thought I'd let you all know since my original thread, thanks to a lot of votes from you guys, song plays, shares, etc.. that our band, Gypsy Saints, is third out of 20 so far in our local area as we continue to compete for a spot to open for Alice In Chains, Jane's Addiction, and much more.. (http://www.rockstaruproar.com/bands/)

Voting continues until August 20th, and notification will be given two days later to the winning band by the judges, (one of whom founded Guns & Roses, "Duff" McKagan).
You can vote as many times as you like. We've since posted one more song off of our upcoming debut CD, which should be out any day now.

All the links are there to check out our Facebook and Reverbnation pages, as well as our website.

Showtime is September 5th in Nampa, Idaho.

Sooo.. needless to say, this definitely limits my time in Aces High. My B17 is probably accumulating a little dust. :uhoh

Really appreciate the support from y'all as we try to get this off the ground & go somewhere with it. :)

Thank you.. <<S>>

Voted again, can you vote every day? Your singer sounds like one of Anthrax's singers.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

Yes, you can vote every day. Some folks have told me you can vote more than once in a day's time. So, hey! Why not?  :)

Join here and post a link, the group is ran by a friend of mine and has over 3000 members. We should be able to drag a few votes out of them.

We just nailed the #1 spot! Now if we can hang onto and widen the lead until voting ends on August 20th, hopefully we'll get the nod from the judges to open the show!  :rock

Appreciate your help, folks.  :)

LOL to both of you, Waldo and Hawk!  :lol

Thanks! I think we stirred up the natives here locally. They didn't expect us to pass them up, and now they are scrambling to catch up.  ;)

Thanks, sir! We're working to put some new "ammunition" up there during these last two weeks of voting. According to our CD source, we should have our debut album available in just over a week.

Voted again. The band sounds great, but should consider a new keyboardist. :devil
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
