Garage to V Sydney winnerannounced

Thu 6th Mar, 2008 in Local News

The Garage to V Sydney heats went down at Spectrum last night, with four ace bands battling it out for a spot in the final. It was a hotly contested field, but as is the way with these things there can only be one winnerÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

That winner, we’re happy to announce, is Cassette Kids. Coming on last, the raucous four-piece got the crowd squealing like schoolgirls. They followed a consummate run of performances from Man Ray, Lions At Your Door and Tennis, so our hearty congratulations to all the bands. Cassette Kids proceed to the final, to be held at Oxford Art Factory on Thursday 13 March.

Pfft -

biggest wanker crock of scenester shite.

I thought the most talented band was supposed to win - not the most modular.

Lions and Manray rocked the walls off that place, CK are dull - i suspect they blew at least one of the judges.

The most viable band won, simple as that.

I think you'll find that you are sorely sorely mistaken my friend....The most talented band did win!!!

A.Yes Man Ray were good but thats about it...I didnt know Mercy Arms needed a cover band already? And i definitely don't think Kirin J. Callinan needs a look a like already either, yes both image and musically ; yelps a la end of "Uptown Addres"? cringe...what an absolutey unimaginative perfomance, it's every recent Indie band stereotype thrown in to one band...

B. There is a damn good reason Lions At Your door have been around for so long and still have gone nowhere...and for gods sake who has a song named after your own band? One or the other please.

C.Tennis were great but lack of experience let them down...Only having just released there demos and such..Playing entire songs out of tune and sync arent gonna get you on the V Festival bill trust me...But they will be one of the best bands in Oz this year..

Cassette Kids had a level of professionalism, energy and innovative sound that the Sydney scene is lacking...All instruments sounded absolutely ace, and the singer had an effing belter of a voice..Every note was hit to a T..What a great band, one that doesnt rely solely on word of mouth or image to get them where they are in a matter of months...Cassette Kids defninitely deserved to win..I think they will go all the way

And i think you're just pissed off that the cum u guzzled down from the judges was all for nothing..

Good post.

I agree that Cassette kids will probably be the next aussie big thing in that scene. I really enjoyed them when they played the enmore last month. Thought they put New Young Pony Club to shame.

If you check Whatshoe's profile you'll see he claims to be a 14 year old boy which would explain his obvious lack of maturity and understanding of what makes a good band and good music.

There's no doubt the best band (Cassette Kids) won the Sydney heat last week, can they make it a repeat performance tomorrow in the final? I'm clearly not the only person who thinks CK have a bright future. In an interview earlier this week, Ross Paxman bass guitarist in the acclaimed Melbourne band Young and Restless was asked....Tell us a band or artist everyone should check out and why� his response was: "Cassette Kids from Sydney should be the biggest band in Australia this time next year, it's really scary how flawless they are".

CK are quickly gaining the respect of many in the industry for their innovative new sound and explosive live performances and they'd certainly make a great opener on the main stage of V Festival.

Good luck CK!

how does a '14' year old get into Spectrum? Obviously a fan/friend of one of the bands who was there and is bitter that they didn't win...but yeah, water under the bridge

It isn't very hard to put NYPC to shame; they're pretty bad.
