WAM Song Of The Year 2014

Listen up Perth metal bands - here's an opportunity not to be missed, if you're interested in getting a leg up with some extra promotion, and the chance to win some cold hard cash and other prizes then check it out.
WAM is having it's Song Of The Year competition and they contacted me to spread the word to the metal crew as they haven't had as many metal bands enter as they'd like. So for you industrious types out there, get on it because it sounds like your chances are pretty good. Better be quick though - the deadline has been extended to midday this Friday the 19th of December.

With a record amount of prizes being offered this year – over $40,000, including $11,000 in cash! – this year’s Song Of The Year is one of Australia’s most rewarding music competitions – and hence WA’s biggest career launchpad opportunity for artists. A reminder also that your song doesn't need to be professionally recorded - it can be an unreleased song or demo that you're hoping to have professionally recorded. As long as it's a great song then it's in with a chance!
Head over to http://wam.org.au/song-year-prizes/ to check out the prizes and for more info.

International tours to Perth and Adelaide in danger?

Could the chances of international metal acts touring Perth and Adelaide be in jeopardy? Brad from Soundworks Touring recently made a post on facebook hinting at such, and the reason why:
 

Hi Guys..Brad here. First of all, thank you very much to all and sundry who have purchased or will be attending any of the Cannibal Corpse shows around the country in the next few weeks, we greatly appreciate it!! Perth and Adelaide..listen up...you are officially on notice.If the ticket sales do not hit a respectable point we will be removing BOTH cities from all future touring plans. Adelaide, you asked for shows to come back but you are not returning the love...155 sales as of today...if it does not hit 400 then there is not point putting future shows of this size in your town...as much as we do love your beer and strip clubs. Perth...473 for Carcass and Cannibal is looking the same. If you don't get up over 500 then it's back to the days of flying east to catch death metal shows for you. Take note guys, the days of us losing money in Perth are over unless you prove a point at Cannibal. Thanks for your time here guys and again, grand respect to all that support these shows. Cheers

Here's the facebook thread about it:
