Do ya live in Hawaii, and play in a band?
...then boy do I have news for you! There is a contest (much like the one that ran during the HAND tour; the Have a Nice Gig promotion -- remember that?) for local bands to open for Bon Jovi next month, when they play in Hawaii.
The "Opening Act Contest" is open to all bands in Hawaii. To enter, each band must submit a bio describing the band and their music, along with a CD containing one song no longer than three minutes, and their contact information (name, address, phone number and email) to:What a phenomenal opportunity for a couple of local bands to get a taste of the "big time".
Tom Moffatt Productions
1232 Waimanu Street, Penthouse
Honolulu, HI 96814.
The deadline for receiving submissions is Monday, January 25, 2010.
From the pool of entries, 20 semi-finalists will be selected to send in a video (via YouTube link) for review by a "blue ribbon panel" of local celebrity judges. The top five finalists will be chosen from the 20 semi-finalists, and will have a clip of their video featured on KHON-TV’s "Wake Up 2Day" morning show during the week of February 1, 2009.
On Monday, February 8, 2010, the top five band finalists will be featured live in-studio as part of KHON-TV’s "Wake Up 2Day" show, where the two winners will be announced. A clip of the two winning bands’ videos will be shared on the air, and both bands will be interviewed.
Good luck to any/all who enter!

They did this in Australia on the Lost Highway tour. Pretty cool.
I didn't know that! Thanks for the info. It is really cool. It gives these up-and-coming bands exposure they wouldn't get otherwise.

They did this in London on the LH tour too. The guy they chose was great, have been to see him several times since.
