Take a number and wait until you're called.
Made it into the charts twice
Published on November 11, 2006 By dynamaso In Misc
My band, currently called JC Ronikal & The Maniacs, has entered a local competition run by a national radio station, JJJFM, or TripleJ, as is known. The competition, called Unearthed, is one of the most unique in the world and has been running for quite a number of years now (over ten, at least). It is responsible for discovering some of the biggest bands in Australia in the last few years, bands like Silverchair and Grinspoon, for those who might know Aussie acts.

This year is the first year they've run the competition online i.e. downloads, a page for each band, with interactive comments etc. They also have charts based on the number of downloads of a particular song (this is part of the deal in going into the competition - anyone can download any music on the site for free). We're very pleased as we've got two songs into the top 25 (one at number 24 and one at number 21). All it means is that two of our songs have been downloaded more than a lot of the other bands on the site. I don't know if any of my friends here had anything to do with this, but if you did, thanks very much from the band.

I re-downloaded them all, even though I already had them . . . just wanted to prop the numbers . . . maybe I'll go download them again . . .

I do so enjoy the tunes. I love to play them for my friends and say, "and I know the guitarist!"
