Battle of the Bands


By admin - Posted on 28 October 2009

Jealous Itch will play on Thursday 5th November at The Kings Arms, Auckland. Come along and show your support!

From talking to people i noticed "The crowd" were interested in all the bands.
BUT!!! and it's a BIG BUT,
80percent of them (who were probably drinking in the carpark to avoid bar costs) didn't come into the Pub until at least over halfway though the Second Band.

Many people did not even show up at the venue until then or later.
SO THEY MISSED JEALOUS ITCH ALTOGETHER.

CONCLUSION: You cannot have a 50percent audience vote without the actual audience BEING THERE the whole time Duh!
Bad planning by organisers eh!

A bunch of young guys outside asked us what "Jealous Itch" were like and were pissed off to have missed them when told the style of Music J.I. played.
Their fault for being late i guess.

But that says it all.

Oh well, least we didn't break anything (apart from some other bands ego's ha-ha)

Holding out the shoe is the left foot!

"I Am What I Am, Plug Me In And Play Me"

We would have loved to have been there, will try to get a trip in next yar somewhere, planning for a big one with the kids in 2011.

Looking forward to that one Dude!!!!!!!

Go the Mighty Itch in the semi finals!

So how did you guys go? The Battle Of The Bands website is sueless! Hasn't been updated!

Not enough crowd support, the guys were first on and we only had like 5 supporters there which sucked but that's what you get when everyone has kids and stuff (not being 18 year olds anymore, lol). One of the judges had a word with Antz to express his appreciation of the set which was cool. They didn't enter thinking they would win, just a bit of live rehearsal time and exposure was the aim which they accomplished. It would have been nice to go a bit further but hey, thems the breaks! Looking forward to Saturday night at the Dogs Bollix, hopefully all the babysitters have been booked!

Good luck again tonight guys, once again rock on, I'm sure you'll do good!!!

Now we've got to crack a semi. :)

How does this work, how many bands were there, who were they and where do you go from here? Oh, and what's at the end?

We play again on the 19th of Nov at The Kings Arms again. Seems to be a lot of bands still in the running. This is the official site http://www.battleofthebands.co.nz/ if you want to check it out. If you can make head or tail of it let me bloody know!

If the world was an orange it would be too small!

Yeah, had a look, doesn't really tell you a lot. There's a lot of bands in there though and a good prize at the end, good luck guys.

Im sure crackin' the semi's won't be an issue for most of you!

If the world was an orange it would be too small!

Go hard guys, wish we were there, blow them all off the stage!

If I don't make it, all the best, show them young fellas how it's done!

If the world was an orange it would be too small!
