Let’s see how good you are at figuring out these 7 Brisbane bands we think you should check out during Big Sound. There’s also one Canadian band here.

Tickets for BigSound are available here: http://tickets.oztix.com.au/Default.aspx?event=21799

Think you know them all, have a crack and we’ll give the first correct response a merch pack AND a pass to BIGSOUND Live!

1. This artist used to be in a band that sang about the getting their hashbrowns on the tally at Fat Rics. Now sings about Queensland!

2. A singer songwriter set for even bigger things. Plays in a thousand bands. One has Gin, one has Giants, one has Liberals, one has Pickers.

3. Youthful band with a big following. Recent music clip has amassed close to 500K views.

4. Another talented young group. Had a great song about ‘Whales’. Moving onto bigger and better adventures soon.

5. Possibly the hardest one of these to do. Massive in West End. Sang about bubblegum.

6. A band who need a Tarago to travel. Sang about traitors and played Laneway this year.

7. Classic pop and disco beats.

8. Beat 16 other bands to win Rolling Stone’s “Choose The Cover” competition to be featured on the August 18, 2011 cover of Rolling Stone magazine, the first unsigned act to do so.

There you go. Have fun. I hope you like that last one!
