FReeZA Push Start a chance for local musicians to shine

Published on 06 March 2017

Sunraysia’s future music stars seeking to make their mark on the music industry are being encouraged to nominate for this year’s FReeZA Push Start Comp.

Formerly known as Battle of the Bands, the Mildura FReeZA Push Start Comp is open to young musicians under 25, and will be held on Friday, 24 March at Mildura Senior College. 

The event not only provides a chance for local artists to get noticed and gain exposure, but hone their musical and performing skills.

Open to performers of any style of music, including bands, soloists, duos, hip hop, electronic and acoustic acts, Mildura’s FReeZA Push Start Comp is part of a broader statewide competition showcasing young musicians from across Victoria.

Mildura Rural City Councillor for Community Wellbeing and Services Ali Cupper encouraged local artists to enter the competition, which also allows musicians to get their original material heard.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for the numerous talented young musicians in our area to get noticed,” Cr Cupper said.

“Not only will they have a chance to perform and gain local exposure, but they could win their way to a spot in the FReeZA Push Start Comp grand final line-up.”

The Mildura FReeZA Committee is offering cash prizes for the local winner, runner-up and most popular band, which will be judged by door vote.

Local artists interested in entering the competition can get application forms from Council’s website at www.mildura.vic.gov.au or by calling in to Mildura Rural City Council at 108 Madden Avenue, Mildura.

Artists can also keep up-to-date by visiting the Youth Services Facebook page.

Applications close at 5pm on Friday, 17 March.

For more information contact Council’s Youth Program and Participation Officer on (03) 5018 8100, or call in to Council’s Madden Avenue offices.
