The Rock Games, is an international battle of the bands and promotions group based out of Cincinnati, OH set up to give bands unprecedented promotional opportunities in the form of tv, radio, print, internet, and a strategic and aggressive grass roots campaign. Multiple concert events and live audiences across the globe, cash prizes, gear, recording time, and a chance to be discovered and prove themselves to the world.
The IRGC *international rock games committee* developed a strategy that incorporates not only great promotion and popularity of local and regional bands, but also judges them on qualities needed to expand and break into the limelight. This is more than just backyard bragging rights. No matter age, genre, economic, or ethnic background, bands of all sorts can come together in a fair and full on battle *not just a popularity contest* to not only prove they are the best in their area, but to expand and have a chance to prove themselves to the entire world. In addition, perform to a wider market on larger stages and sound systems.
Our goal is to become the world’s biggest live championship event and showcase (you) the best up and coming talent the world has yet to know. Any instrument, any performance, all forms of musical experiences qualify. Beginning the first of January 2010, cities all across the globe will begin qualifying rounds to select their representatives who will move on to state/province, country, and world rounds.
Does your band have what it takes?
