BIG DAY OUT '08
opening date: 30 October 2007
closing date: 10 December 2007
This competition is now closed. Check out our winners below.
It’s an unstoppable beast. A raging torrent of guitars, sweaty armpits and well-worn band t-shirts. It’s the Big Day Out, and it’s inscribed in permanent ink on any music-loving festival-goer’s calendar. Come January, this hairy mammal will romp around the country with Rage Against The Machine, Arcade Fire, Bjork, Hilltop Hoods, Midnight Juggernauts and a bucket load more fine bands in tow.

But wait, there’s more! Plenty more, in fact, if you are band or a musician who fancies getting up on stage in your state and playing in front of an adoring Big Day Out crowd. triplejunearthed.com wants to see you up there getting loud and sweaty and we'll even give you $500 to do it. Just get your stuff uploaded to the website by 5pm AEST Monday 10th December. If you already have tracks uploaded you will automatically be included in this competition.
NB: You just need to have your tracks uploaded by the closing date. They do not have to be live on the site.

Congratulations to ...
 THE JOHN STEEL SINGERS - WINNER - BDO GOLD COAST
11:00 - 11:30am local produce stage
These six delightful boys from Brisbane can sure write a catchy ditty. You've probably heard their track "Strawberry Wine" on triple j already. They are purveyors of glorious backyard summer pop melodies - and they have adorable baby-faced grins to boot.

 CASSETTE KIDS - WINNER - BDO SYDNEY
11:00 - 11:40am local produce stage
The Cassette Kids are immeasurably cool. They also play some damn fine music. Coming together in 2007, they lend an undertone of the young sophistocrat to the crest of new wave. Get into their dancey post-punk sounds at the Sydney BDO.

 THE PRYOR THEORY - WINNER - BDO MELBOURNE
11:00 - 11:40am local produce stage
These two Melbourne kids found each other the old school way - by answering a handwritten note stuck on a noticeboard in a record shop. The rest, as they say, is history. Enjoy their downbeat electronica mixed with gadgets, samples and mellow vocals when they play at the Melbourne BDO.
