Yesterday evening, some time around 20:15, the demo of Clockwork (download from the ‘Music’ page) received a play on the Damo and Ace show on Brighton’s Juice 107.2 station, which regularly plays music by and holds interviews with local bands.
The song received plenty of praise, along with a flurry of enthusiastic messages sent in to the show and a healthy plug for tonight’s (Tuesday) gig at The Hope.
It’s all over! The final of the Best of Brighton Bands competition, run by MusoNet, took place last night (Sunday) at the Pressure Point in Brighton, and saw Left Hand Red beaten only by the mighty rock-juggernaut that is Stealbackyourlife.
Although Stealbackyourlife walked away with the spoils, it was an awesome gig all round with three of the bands topping their heat scores in front of a capacity crowd. Oh, and Oli of Go Johnny Go fame also walked away with a special prize of a new guitar!
The scores aren’t currently available, but we’ll post them when they are.
That’s right! We’re through to the final of the Best of Brighton Bands competition!
It was an excellent night, and despite some mid-song technical troubles that threatened to put a downer on things, we were given the fourth highest score over the four heats, meaning a place in the final awaits. This was by far the strongest heat so far, with three of the four bands taking final spots and one achieving the highest score by a country mile.
The scores (out of 100) for heat 4 were as follows:
| Band | Score |
|---|---|
| Mono | 51.00 |
| Left Hand Red | 75.50 |
| Your Army | 76.75 |
| Stealbackyourlife | 92.75 |
The final leaderboard of all bands over four heats is as follows:
| Band | Score |
|---|---|
| Stealbackyourlife | 92.75 |
| The Reveals | 79.50 |
| Your Army | 76.75 |
| Left Hand Red | 75.50 |
| AKA Band | 73.75 |
| Adhora | 71.50 |
| Lithurgy | 70.00 |
| Alarum Within | 69.75 |

Left Hand Red are one of 16 bands selected to play at the Best of Brighton Bands gigs running through March and April at the Pressure Point. Each gig will be judged in a range of different ways and the band that impresses the most will win a place in the final on Sunday 15th April. Your support will be much appreciated — our heat is taking place on Sunday 8th April (Bank Holiday weekend so no work the next day for most of you!). Anyone who attended Left Hand Red’s recent appearance at the Pav Tav will know that we’re on all time best form so this show is not to be missed!
Tickets are only £1 — yes, £1 — when bought from Badlands Guitars or alternatively, we are selling some, but they’re being snapped up fast, so contact your friendly neighbourhood Left Hand Red type sharpish and they’ll gladly get hold of some for you.
Tickets are also being sold on the door for £2 but last week’s show was a sell out so better make sure you get there early! That’s not all though, tickets double up as a raffle ticket and if you attend the final, you could bag yourself a a brand new J&D Duke 30 electric guitar, rrp £329!!
Also playing on our night will be Your Army, Mono and Stealbackyourlife, so not only will you be getting four bands giving it their all, you get us all for one to two measley quid!
Pressure Point venue doors will be unlocked for the legions of LHR fans at 8PM, make sure you’re there!
