America, Rock-A-Holics and Q103 listeners. Earlier today on the Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show there was a brief discussion about Selfies. I have my reservations about selfies, primarily because it is always the same type of people polluting social media with pointless images that no one really cares about. That does not stop these people from forcing you to look at them doing whatever.
Over the summer, local band Selfish Needy Creatures competed in the Play for the Stage contest, where a dozen bands performed over a span of three weeks, aiming at the shot of a lifetime- to open up for Godsmack at our Q-Ruption show. The quartet became finalists and ultimately won, and put on a great performance. Now, two months later, their 15 minutes of fame, literally, have made a big difference in their success as a band. Read on to see what the opportunity has done for them.
Friday night, or rather early Saturday morning, after the show at Dublin's with How the World Ends and Not Yet Fallen, I got my second wind and went off to my next adventure to Dutch Apple Cruise line for a party and show with local band and Q-Ruption Play for the Stage winners Selfish needy Creatures. It was the perfect ending to a mind-blowing night, and I was lucky enough to be there for all of it.
It was a long day at my "regular" job Friday, as I was anxious to get to the show and enjoy the people and music. After navigating the traffic on 787 to get to the sitter and drop off my daughter and then up to Saratoga and navigating the traffic at SPAC, I made it in alive!
Last night was the grand finale of Q103's Play for the Stage at Savannah's in Albany, and finalists Tamerlane, Selfish Needy Creatures and Pipebomb all performed for a second time to win the ultimate prize and opportunity- to open for Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch, Skillet, Sick Puppies and Egypt Central at next weeks Q-Ruption. Congratulations to SELFISH NEEDY CREATURES for being the big winners!
Find out tonight at Savannah’s on Pearl St. in Albany starting at 10pm. This is it man. It’s the finals for our ‘Play For The Stage’ competition. One of these 3 bands is going to play at SPAC next Friday and play with Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch and more.
Last night marked the last round of Q103's Play for the Stage at Savannah's in Albany. So far, local bands Pipebomb and Tamerlane are in the running, and the final three bands Kolekora, Selfish Needy Creatures and UnCivil Liberty all competed for that coveted last spot in the finals next week, for a chance to play Q-Ruption alongside some of the biggest names in rock. Read on to see who will be moving on to next week's battle of the bands finale.
