Converse Get Out Of The Garage returns

The Converse Get Out Of The Garage Competition, which encourages artists from all across South Africa to upload their demos to SoundCloud or YouTube and then submit them to Converse via www.myssl.co.za/converse, is back and is asking more unsigned musicians out of the garage and into a studio to record their own tracks.

Converse is mixing it up this year by bringing Rubber Tracks to the country to work with the Top 10 finalists, meaning that for the first time ever, the Top 10 will have a world-class single produced by experienced engineers, with the finest instruments and equipment.

Judging will take place between 17 and 19 June. Returning judge and 5FM DJ, Catherine Grenfell will be joined this year by hip hop legend HHP. The owner of Openroom Productions, Darryl Torr, will also enter the mix.

On 23 June the Top 10 finalists will be showcased on Facebook and Twitter, where South African music fans can vote for their favourite until 3 August. The winner will then be announced on 5 August, before heading off to New York City to record another track with Rubber Tracks, followed by more globetrotting to perform live in Europe.

One fan will be rewarded with a trip to Europe to go to watch the winning band perform live.

Stay a part of the conversation online via the Facebook page, Twitter account and by using and following the hashtag #GOOTG2014.
