Are you on crack? Lucky Bar has hosted many BOTB.

"If you or if you know someone in a band who is looking to take it to the next level, but never had an opportunity...please tell them about this and get a demo to the hotel a.s.a.p!"

So the winners win a free Demo recording, yet bands need a demo to even enter. give it up already. - Sat, 4 Jun 2005 3:03pm

hmmmmm, i didn't realize Lucky did this but regardless we are doing it anyways. Last BOTB i knew of in vic was at Wasteland Cabaret...about 8 years ago. i have been in Calgary promoting though for the past 6 years, so that's probbaly why i haven't heard of it...no matter

As for the recording goes, any home-made demo on a $100 4 track mixer will do, as long as we can hear you have it together enough to put you on stage.

The final demo recording is professionally recorded in a studio that has clientelle from across the globe such as Newyork, Germany, Brazil, London and the producer has produced tracks for top talent such as Burt Cummings from the Guess Who.

This will be an opportunity for the band to have a very nice sounding demo to send out to the labels. - Sat, 4 Jun 2005 5:19pm

donkey,

you bet!

the only stipulation by the liqour control board, is that everyone underage must leave the premise immediatelt after they are done. so you are more than welcome to drop off some kind of demo at the hotel and apply :) - Tue, 7 Jun 2005 10:04am

Is there any kind of genre of music you're specifically looking for?.... Or are all genre's welcome?... I'm assuming this is more oriented towards pop culture, rather than the underground scene... But if it's not, I'll get S.I.C.K. all over it

And as for a demo, mp3's are available for us at

this reminds me of the kind of music i listened to as a teen

if we get 3 bands with the same sound, i have no problem doing a heavy night. with that said, if you know 2 others that are ready to perform on stage and entertain a crowd get them involved!

we just have to put the right bands together so the night has some form of consistancy. all generes are welcome if they don't put the crowd to sleep, hahaha - Fri, 10 Jun 2005 12:05am

DJTony, are you still accepting demos, looks like I came to this forum a bit late.

Also, how is the winner decided? Is it audience vote? - Wed, 29 Jun 2005 12:28pm

we are filling the spots up pretty fast, but there are still a few left and some bands who will be entering have not decided on what date yet. with that said, there is some flexibility with dates july 20th - aug 10.

if you have online mp3's just post a link or you can drop off a demo at the front desk of the hotel.
