06MayBattle of the Bands Heat OneInfront of a packed crowd of some 150 spectators 11 bands took the Zeal Wellington stage on May the 6th to compete for one of three places in the Battle of the Bands Finals. Styles varied dramatically from metal to trance-pop and a wide selection of other influences. In the end the judging panel (Waylon Edwards, Elliot Taylor, Alistair Mawhinney) had the difficult task of selecting only three. Last year's winners, Urban Legends, were again selected for the finals after busting out two well-formed powerpop tunes. Biting at their heels were Wellington High School metal band, Meat, who wowed the audience with a stage dive for every solo. The final competitor moving ot the finals is The Onset form Onslow College after delivering a great and cohesive group performance. Next week the competition continues with Heat Two (May 13) featuring Garage Six IX, As Legends Rise,The Juveniles, The Velvet Regime, The Broken, Roadkill Inc, Black Lights, FRANK, Wires and The Last Ones. Doors open at 7.30pm, $5 entry.
