Mr Price Blastbeat is a Music and Multimedia programme for young creative people, both in the business environment and the live music scene. The programme gives young people the skills to create safe and fully secured alcohol and drug free events for under 18s where they enjoy themselves socially while being entertained by the best young music acts.
Young bands are given the platform to perform and grow a fan base from the audiences of young people who attend these gigs.
We have watched over 90 bands and over 350 individual musicians compete throughout 2008 competition in the Western Cape. 260 young entrepreneurs have succeeded in running their own music and multimedia company to bring us this amazing young musical talent. These mini companies are preparing for their moment in the "boardroom" now where they will judged on all the work that they have done.
It has been an exciting year for all and the tensions run high now as everyone prepares for their final countdown to the Finals.
MK (MNET) on DSTV will be broadcasting the drama, fun, excitement, gigs, music and outcome of this exciting year in a reality show, Die Gig Fabriek. It will air in February 2009, so watch out for the best youth reality show ever!
and many many more!
We have an exciting Headline Band, so watch this space for the breaking news!
