Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Bands such as Locksley, Something to Burn and Malajube have bolstered their careers in due part to their tours overseas in both China and Scandinavia. The 2010 edition will kick off in March and roll through China cities Shanghai, Beijing, Qingdao, Tianjin, Hangzhou and Nanjing before wrapping up their tour with a performance at the Jue Festival.
The winning band will recieve an all expenses paid trip to China with costs such as hotels, food and equipment rentals. In this economy, an opportunity like this cannot be overlooked. It is a great chance for a young band to get their name out and play some big-time gigs. Can a Phoenix band step up and put their name on the map?
