Huge congratulations to Phoneline Valentine who won this year's Scholarpalooza! battle of the bands competition last night in front of a sold out crowd at The Garage in the best all ages show we have ever seen. Our panel of judges, selected from WA music royalty, had an incredibly tough job on their hands to choose a winner from the six bands who produced 3 hours of super quality music in front of a hot and sweaty audience that went crazy for every song.
We'd like to thank everyone who came along to Scholarpalooza! this year, and to all of the bands that competed but especially our grand finalists Just Pacific, Crimson Regret, Grey States, Planetary and Supervision Band. We hope to be seeing a lot more of you all this year.
Our winners Phoneline Valentine take home great prizes - a full recording and mixing package with Jelly Sound, free WAM membership, a pro photo shoot, and radio airplay on RTRFM 92.1. Thanks also to our sponsors Drug Aware, Kosmic Sound and Bankwest whose support and generosity made the event possible.
