OCTOBER XPERIA MASHLAB – ROCKTOBER

Sony Mobile is extremely excited to present the October concept for Xperia Mashlab, Rocktober. This month Xperia Mashlab is breaking all the rules. We are calling on all fans to design the ultimate 5fm Xperia Mashlab rock band.

It will be up to the fans to vote on which vocalist, drummer, guitarist and bassist they would like to see in the all-stars Rocktober band. But that is not all. As always, we want the fans to drive the song writing process. We are therefore asking fans to put themselves forward as a band member as well. If you are a drummer, a singer, a guitarist or play the bass, you have until next week Monday, 5 October 2015 to upload an audition video of yourself playing your instrument.

The candidate who receives the most ‘shares’ and ‘likes’ for their video on Facebook will be put into the voting pool, alongside the best of South African musicians to be voted into the all-stars Xperia Mashlab, Rocktober band.

Voting will be divided up as follows:

•        Monday, 5 October: Drums

•        Tuesday, 6 October: Bass

•        Wednesday, 7 October: Guitar

•        Thursday 8, October: Vocals

But we don’t like to do things regularly at the Xperia Mashlab studio. We are throwing in a 5th band category: ‘The Wildcard’ Do you play the noseflute? How about the oboe, the harp or the tambourine? Be a part of our Rocktober Xperia Mashlab. Or better yet, enter in your choir, string quartet or a 20-man gumboot dancing troupe.

‘Wildcard’ entries open today Tuesday, 29 September 2015 and will close end of day Thursday, 8 October 2015. Voting on ‘Wildcard’ submissions will take place on Friday, 9 October 2015.

All video submissions must be uploaded to Xperia Mashlab on Facebook and Twitter.  Remember to use the hashtag #XperiaMashlab in your post.
