Since the start of the T-Mobile Local Support Band Contest in July 2008, more than 150 junior bands of various styles of music have applied for the contest on the Local Support website. Via public voting, ten of the bands qualified for the finale.
Afterwards, a jury of experts consisting of VJ Joko (MTV), Henning Wehland (H-Blockx), DJ Sepalot (Blumentopf), Marc Liebscher (manager of the band Sportfreunde Stiller) and Götz Gottschalk (manager and producer) had the difficult job to decide which bands had the most potential.
The jury eventually chose Campaign like Clockwork, an indie rock band from Wetzlar. “Sounds cool”, said MTV VJ Joko. “Cool guy, cool voice – the perfect package. In my opinion, this is a band which is ready for the big bang.” DJ Sepalot was also impressed: “Nice voice, nice sound, nice song – more of that please!”
Second place went to the ska punk band Destination Anywhere from Siegen. The jury was again absolutely convinced: “Very good. Judging from the overall impression, they sound the most professional”, said Henning Wehland of H-Blockx. Also Joko commented positively: “Sounds very good and mature. The parts all fit together perfectly.” Not Called Jinx from Berlin made the third place, followed by Frite Jewel from Rothenburg and Special Guests from Kassel. The winner bands can look forward to receiving incentives and non-cash prizes from the sponsors Gibson and Sennheiser. And as a special highlight, Campaign like Clockwork will perform together with the hip hop crew Creme Fresh at the Local Support Skateboard Challenge on 13 September in Stuttgart. Destination Anywhere will have the chance to demonstrate their live skills at the Local Support Street Challenge (BMX) on 27 September in Munich, where they play together with the rock ‘n’ roll band Five!Fast!!Hits!!!. Both bands will get additional support from their fan community as – just like on a school trip – the young musicians travel together with their fans in a specially organized bus. And to make sure the bands are perfectly prepared for their performance, they get exclusive band coaching from real stars of the music scene and extensive coverage from spickmich.de.
