Geelong indie rock band, Residual, will pay homage to their routes and inspire other young musical talent when they return to headline the Push Start Battle of the Bands competition in August.
The 2015 FReeZA Push Start Battle of the Bands competition will be held at the Meredith Memorial Hall on Friday 14 August. This is an annual Victorian Battle of the Bands contest for people aged 14 – 25. It’s a great event, providing important opportunities for young musicians and emerging artists to gain local exposure and live performance time.
This year’s Push Start competition will see a line-up of local young emerging musicians who will battle it out for a spot at the Barwon Regional Final in October. Supported by the Meredith Music Festival and Music Workshop, Residual will also join a panel of judges to provide their feedback and critique to the young musicians.
Residual first joined the Push Start competition in 2013 at the Courthouse Battle of the Bands. Following their success, the four-piece band went on to join the line-up at the Push Pop-Up stage at Moomba which opened the doors for many more big things. The boys have since been on an Australian tour, released an extended play (EP) and supported many big name artists like British India and The Cairos.
The 2015 Golden Plains FReeZA Push Start Battle of the Bands Heat will be held at the Meredith Memorial Hall on Friday 14 August, doors open 7.15pm. This all ages event is drug, alcohol and smoke free. Gold coin donation entry. For event details visit www.goldenplains.vic.gov.au/youth
