Press Coverage of Linkin Park Contest

2009-08-21 19:30 / 标准博客

Two articles from newspapers about the competition and the winning band, Scamper's opportunity to perform at the Linkin Park concert in Macau on Sunday.

From the South China Morning Post:

"Macau rock band gets 3am wake up call to open for grammy winning Linkin Park" by Andrew Sun / Cityseen section Aug 14th, 2009

Thanks to Andrew Sun for this great article (only caveat - there were 22 bands that entered, not 30). ;-)

From the Macau Post Daily:

"Local Band Scamper performs as opening act for Linkin Park"

by Gilbert Humphrey

Great article about Scamper, unfortunately they left out the single most important part - HOW Scamper got the chance to open for Linkin Park. Doh!

Scamper Opening for Linkin Park in Macau

2009-08-20 19:23 / 标准博客

Dear friends and supporters:

Linkin Park's show this past Sunday night at the Venetian Macao was a great success! Some great photos from the show can be found on artist Eugene Yau's photo album page.

We want to share some pictures of the opening band Scamper, the winner of this band search contest too:

Video of their performance can be found here:

Update on Macau Show

2009-08-15 12:53 / 新闻

Linkin Park is now in Shanghai preparing for their show, tomorrow morning they fly down to Macau for the final leg of their Asia tour.

We wanted to give a quick update to the schedule for the Macau show. Before this contest was announced, the LP start time was 7:30pm and that was printed on the tickets and fliers. Because of the addition of the opening band to the line up, the door will now open 30 minutes earlier and the opening band SCAMPER will take the stage at 7:15pm, and LP has been moved back 30 minutes to 8:00pm.

Please arrive on time to support Scamper on stage!

There are still some upper level seats available for purchase online, if you haven't gotten your ticket yet.

Thanks and best of luck to Scamper and Linkin Park. See you in Macau on Sunday night!

乐队搜寻结果出炉! "为林肯公园寻找开场乐队"的获胜队伍是
( english | 繁 )

2009-08-13 11:27 / 发表

对不起这么迟，几分钟前我们才从洛杉矶林肯公园团队得到最终结果(凌晨4点!)

他们选择了 SCAMPER 乐队作为 8月16日(星期日)林肯公园在澳门威尼斯人渡假村酒店 CotaiArena 演唱会的开场乐队!

我们在此恭喜 Scamper 和所有进入决赛的队伍。我们认为林肯公园选择一支澳门乐队作演唱会开场是非常明智的选择，这也是澳门本地乐队首次有机会在威尼斯人渡假村酒店演出!

通过这次比赛，我们也积累了不少经验。其中的正面意义是为网站的艺术家们创造了更多类似这样的机会。

再次感谢参与比赛的乐队及所有投票的会员。让我们一起祝愿 SCAMPER 乐队周日演出顺利! (点击这里给他们留言)

Its been a busy 8 days of voting here! The Band Search to find the act to play at Linkin Park's Macau Concert has finished the voting phase and the top five bands have been chosen!

Over 3800 votes were cast and the contest page received over 17,000 visits since last Saturday. Unfortunately only five bands get to go on to the next round - where one will be picked by Linkin Park to play a 30 minute set on stage at the Venetian's Cotai Arena on Sunday August 16th!

The five finalists are (in order of votes recieved):

GONG WU

SCAMPER

IN LOVE AND PAIN

KILLER SOAP

FALL IN LINE

Linkin Park is on tour in Japan right now, hopefully they'll have time to review the bands and let us know their decision ASAP. We'll post the final result here as soon as its decided.

alivenotdead.com also wants to thank all the bands that participated and all the users who cast votes, the goal of this competition was to give all the artists some exposure and one of them a chance to represent Hong Kong and alivenotdead.com's artist community.
