Saturday nights will never be the same again in Shenzhen. It could almost have been called the 'Battle of the Housebands' as T.A.S. , Mind the Gap and Bolt Action, along with 2 more local Shenzhen bands competed to get that one step closer to winning the Global Prize of US$100,000 in band development! Host venue Enigma (located in Shekou) was packed with live music lovers who were keen to vote for their favourite Shenzhen band. The five bands had music styles ranging from screamo to funk to rock. The judges (comprised from music & media industry), did not have an easy decision on whom to choose. At the Shenzhen Final, the audience votes counted for 25%. In GBOB, each band performs 8 minutes of original music with any genre accepted. The judges were impressed with 'Bolt Action' and one judge simply put 'Wow!' as his comments. Bolt Action will represent Shenzhen in the China Final on 21st November and compete against the winning bands from Beijing, Shanghai, Macau, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. The overall China winner will receive TWO prizes this year, the first being the free flights & accommodation to attend the World Final of GBOB in February 2010 and the second is a performance slot at Zebra Music Festival in May 2011 (with free flights & accommodation). Global Battle of the Bands was formed in 2004 and the China division created in 2008. Over 20 countries are taking part in 2010. The World Final for GBOB 2010 will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 26th February 2010. URL: https://gbobchina.com Zebra Music Festival: https://www.myzmf.com/show.shtml
