And the winner is…
Freelance Whales! RethinkPopMusic’s first ever “Put Your Music Where Your Mouth Is” showcase can only be described as an absolute success. All the bands; Julia Barry, Freelance Whales, Shoe and The Glorious Veins were incredible, however it was the Freelance Whales who edged out The Glorious Veins with a score of 136 to 134. Thanks to shoe from coming all the way from Detroit and getting the crowd dancing like no one else did all night. Also, if you haven’t heard Julia Barry live you are missing out. She has an exceptional voice and her skills on the keyboard impressed everyone, especially Casey from The Ambassadors.
A huge amount of gratitude is owed to our fantastic judges:
Laura Miller – MTV U
Sami Jarroush – RockItOut! Blog
Dan De Lara – AsianManDan.com
Ben Foxx – RethinkPopMusic
Greg Hewes – RethinkPopMusic
Here’s a video of Bob Berman introducing the judges:
Full HD footage of all the bands performing will be available soon…
This event would never have been a success if it weren’t for the amazing staff at Crash Mansion. Thanks to Stephanie and Mindy who made this idea a reality. We can’t wait to officially launch RethinkPopMusic at Crash Mansion on September 17th.
Here are some pics from the evening:
