A TAVISTOCK band has entered a new competition designed especially to give unsigned bands their 'big-break'.
Kitty and the Lost Boys entered the competition, 'Bandbacker', which not only aims to give the band a chance in the industry but also give music fans the chance to be a part of the music scene and share in the band's success.
The five-piece rock band are all from Tavistock and are currently working on album number two 'Neverland', featuring their well-known style of catchy rock tunes and great musicianship.
Bandbacker is a competition with the winning artist being decided by the fans.
The initial public vote will whittle the competition down to the top ten acts — then, everything is in the hands of the 'Backers', who will cast the final votes.
Gary Dolton, managing director, said: 'Bandbacker isn't just another competition where the public can vote and job done. We want the fans and the backers to be there from the beginning being actively involved in supporting and promoting the winning bands, helping to shape their careers and benefiting themselves from their involvement.'
Band members are Kitty, vocals; Jess Austen, lead guitar; Pete Jenkins, bass guitar; 'Blind Johnny', rhythm guitar, Sam, drummer.
Kitty and the Lost Boys are currently ranked number 23 out of 100 from public votes on the Bandbacker website. To vote visit http://www.bandbacker.com">www.bandbacker.com
