I play in a band (dutch), and we are in a competition to win a spot on a big open stage to play for a huge crowd. We also need to mobilize everyone we know to get enough votes from the public.
I couldn't think of a bigger bunch of friends then here at subsim. So here you go, please vote for Vlucht13 and make our day:
http://www.vlucht13.nl/stem
VOTING HAS ENDED AND WE WON! THANK YOU!

All Dutch songs are about cheese.
Well, okay, occasionally they throw one in about wooden shoes or a dike breaking, but mostly it's just cheese.

Nice music mate, i like that sound cause it is handcraftet with instruments, not constructed by computer.
Iam also musician, playin tenor-, alto- and soprano sax in some jazz- soul- and rockbands and i know that the number of people watchin your concert is important !
20.000 People is very big stuff.
My greatest concert was about 6.000 People and that was a great feeling.
So while your guitar gently ..........

It sends shivers down my spine thinking about it. The biggest crowd I've played for was 600-700 :haha:. The radio-show doesn't really count, you do not stare into people's eyes nor do you see them turn off the radio :D

Best of luck to you... very cool stuff... Antwoord will be stuck in my brain the rest of the day.
side note: New Fox Lake's "Jerk" sounds very much like Huey Lewis' "Workin' for a Livin'" to me.

Yeah, but hopefully the next time you'll be staring into the faces of 20k, see their positive reactions and drive your inspirations forward to even higher climbs.
I've listened to your music and I honestly reckon you could do well.
You remind me a little of one of my favourite bands from my teenage years...Wishbone Ash http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

Really cool music BTW! It kinda reminds me of Oasis for some reason..

We played the semi's tonight. It went well, but there wasn't alot of crowd (the organization somehow didn't have enough fundings to advertise??). Our singer won the 'Best Musician' price so that's great (the jury selects one of all musicians during the night).
The jury decides in a few weeks which 4 bands won from all semi-finals and move to the finals. While the competition was pretty awesome, we have a good chance!
Votes are still needed though too ;)

Things are looking hot for us, but every other vote helps!
We at least managed to get two smaller gigs this summer, roughly 5-7K crowd (one where we share the lineup with Dutch renowned artists, the other is more local artists), but being being able to play on this big stage would rock even more :)
Thanks for the support people :yeah:
Oh, and I just got me a new (well 2002 actually) Taylor 714ce, I'm a happy man now :D
