Two months and about 150 live and online auditions from all over the Philippines later, the eight best bands have been selected to compete for the championship title of the Greenwich #UltimateBandkada Search Season Two.
ABCG, Alab, Musico, Shalom, Relentless, Plethora, Ace Form, and Happy Ending emerged as the eight best Bandkada hopefuls for the year. Each band successfully impressed the judges with their creative genre mash ups for both popular and original songs.
The bands are now set to go through a series of training sessions with different mentors from the music industry like award-winning singer, songwriter, producer Thyro Alfaro, young and well-followed band The Juans, digital media sweetheart Donnalyn Bartolome and Music Executives from Viva Records, MG Mozo, Civ Fontanilla, and Punch Liwanag.
On Sept. 10, the top eight bands will be presented to the public at the culminating event that will be held at the Valkyrie Nightclub at the Palace Manila in Bonifacio Global City. All the finalists will perform their spins on this year’s Greenwich song that has to be a mash-up of at least two different music genres: rock, pop, hiphop , edm, or regae.
In the end, only three bands will be named as victors of the competition. The criteria for selecting the top three are originality, mash-up clarity, audience impact, band chemistry, and stage presence. Another award to look forward to is the “Favorite ng Barkada Award”, which will recognize the band that garnered the highest number of online votes.
Fans of each #UltimateBandkada hopeful can show their support by voting for their bets on the contest’s official website. Starting at 10 a.m. of July 18 until 11:59 p.m. of Sept. 5, fans can vote for their favorite Bandkada for the selected Top 8 through the #UltimateBandkada Search website (www.ultimatebandkada.com).
