D’Louw, in partnership with Las Vegas Lounge in Mitchells Plain, is hosting Battle of the Bands this Sunday where six bands will go head to head for the grand title and R15 000 in cash and other prizes.
The initiative is the brainchild of Mitchells Plain artist D’Louw who says the aim is to inspire local bands to create original music.
“In Cape Town, our bands only really play cover songs of international artists and in this competition, there is a section where bands, along with their vocalist, have to create an original music piece for the competition.”
The bands will compete for three Sundays before going into the semi-finals in the fourth week.
