Fair play to them, this seems pretty much the best competition I've seen yet, hate to be cynical without evidence, but wheres the catch? Is'nt there always a catch? ;)?

The main catch being that it's a battle of the bands. And that makes it a competition, which defeats the idea of art. But thats just me being a hippy.
But if I was in a band I'd have a go at this (next year, I always say next year.)

I'd hardly call some saps with second hand fenders splintering themselves on the stage in Whelan's "art".
But thats just me being a hippy

"I'd hardly call some saps with second hand fenders splintering themselves on the stage in Whelan's "art"." - -thats a really horrible statement

well, would YOU call it art!
this board takes itself too seriously.
as do some saps with second hand fenders splintering themselves on the stage in Whelan's, which is probably why they won't get anywhere.
chill people.
i reckon Ill head down tonight or tomorrow eve to check it out anyway.

Is this Event actually happening. There's absolutely nothing on their site about what bands are playin. Seems a little rushed to me!
