Gold Coast rockers, The Moderns, win the MTV Kickstart Gold Coast heat @ elsewhere
On Saturday, 9th August elsewhere teamed up with MTV to host the Gold Coast finals of MTV Kickstart - a national initiative to assist aspiring and independent artists. 5 finalists had been selected to battle it out LIVE @ local hotspot elsewhere for their chance at a spot in the national finals - BoWsER, The Murderettes, Panther DLX, The Moderns and Elke. When the doors opened at 7pm there was a line of excited fans half way down Cavill Avenue!! Band groupies and lovers of live music alike were out in force to catch another LIVE performance at elsewhere. The bands kicked off at 8pm, having only 2 songs to impress the judges. The boys provided 5 amazing performances - pure rock, indie punk, electro indie, indie rock and new wave. With slightly different styles there was something for everybody and the audience certainly seemed receptive; with hundreds of guys rocking out and even more girls screaming as the bands hit the stage! With half an hour of deliberation the judges - Susie Patten from band I Heart Hiroshima, Shaun Wilson from Radio Metro, Sam Cleveland from The Gold Coast Bulletin and MTV Marketing Manager, Sam Coombes - the announcement was made......
"The winners of the MTV Kickstart Gold Coast heat is Gold Coast rockers...... The Moderns" Samuel, Andre, Willi and Swanny will now head down to Sydney in September to battle city against city during the Kickstart Final. There is no doubt that the boys will do the Gold Coast proud! Congratulations go out to the winners - as well as to the other four finalists; BoWsER, The Murderettes, Panther DLX and Elke.
