The BRITS, the greatest music and snowsports event of 2008, has found three live acts to rock the Ride, K2 and Salomon 'Après Sessions' at this years event in Laax, Switzerland between March 29th and April 5th.

The Winners:

KOVAK, HEY MOLLY and BOHICA

KOVAK
Kovak kicked off 2008 in style supporting Robots in Disguise at Brighton's Concorde 2 club, and run their very own legendary Indie/Electro/Pop night. On Saturday May 3rd Club Kovak returns to Hector's House, as part of the Brighton Fringe Festival, and will be celebrating the digital launch of their latest ridiculously catchy single "Death in the Disco" - if you bring a USB stick to the night you can go home with a FREE copy of "Death In The Disco". The mighty Rodney Bingenheimer, of LA super station KROQ, has been championing the band for the last year - this is the man who was first in the USA to play Blondie, Duran Duran and The Ramones - so maybe the States should brace themselves for a Kovak invasion! Kovak will be kicking off the inaugural BRITS K2 live après session on Sunday 30th March.

HEY MOLLY
Hey Molly have been together for three years and in 2006 supported Muse at the Eden Projects in Cornwall. They have since played regularly on the South West Festival scene including performing at the Aeon , Maker and Beach Break Live Festivals in 2007. They completed their first tour of Europe playing in Holland, Switzerland and France, with the highlight being offered to play again with Muse at the Benicassim Festival in Spain, they also completed a 30 date UK tour at the end of 2007. In 2008 the band have been confirmed for the Rocket Festival in Andalusia and will again appear on the South West circuit at Glastonbury, Aeon and Maker festivals as well as being booked for a tour of Holland and Germany in May and of course the Salomon après session at the Brits on Tuesday 1st April.

BOHICA
This Guildford based four-piece outfit are steadily building a reputation as one of Britain's most promising alt-rock / metal bands. Their second LP release, "Written Ignition" - available on Revolver Records and through i-Tunes, combines the heavy riffs of US bands like QOTSA with the grit and aggression of classic British punk & hard-core and its lead single "Seven Second Syndrome" is getting regular MTV2 play. They put as much hard work into their live gigs as they do their studio music, always gigging, always touring, and as keen snowborders they'll be coming out to shred the slopes and close down the Brits in true head-banging style playing the final RIDE live après session on Thursday 3rd April.

Original Press Release Below

The BRITS, the greatest music and snowsports event of 2008, is looking for three live acts to rock the Ride, K2 and Salomon 'Après Sessions' at this years event in Laax, Switzerland between March 29th and April 5th.

As well as being packed with the best freestyle snowboard and ski action, culminating in the crowning of the British Halfpipe, Slopestyle, Snowboard/Skiercross and Big Air Champions, the BRITS will this year boast the best live music line-up ever - on the hill, at the 'Après Sessions' and each night at the best clubs Laax has to offer.

An army of British snowsports and music aficionado's will be invading Switzerland to check out the action, shred the slopes and rock out every night, and we're offering three bands the chance to be an integral part of this line-up - and most importantly the chance to play this crowd, the competitors and the attending press. Not only will the bands get to play to an enthusiastic and knowledgeable crowd, but will benefit from the huge promotional machine that stretches into core sports, music and mainstream media.

The 'Live Après Sessions' are a great new concept this year, co-created by three of the biggest and best names in the industry - Ride, K2 and Salomon - and will be held early each evening at the 'Crap Bar' (crap by name, not by nature!) in Laax - the main meeting point and liveliest party spot for everyone at the end of each day on the mountain.

Each band will receive:
2 nights accommodation and 2 days lift pass each.
Each band member will receive a full snowboard/ski set-up from either RIDE, K2 or SALOMON worth around £1,500 per band.
Each band will be promoted via websites, newsletters, BRITS brochure, and reportage from attending media.

All you have to do is get yourselves out to the event!

Our mates used to be in a band but they were rubbish so they broke up. If you're in a band and NOT rubbish, take up this totally amazing opportunity to show your fellow BRITS what you've got and submit you're demo tracks to john@soulsports.co.uk or send demos, marked 'BRITS Live Après Sessions' to John @ Soul Sports, Unit B5, Enterprise Point, Melbourne Street, Brighton, E Sussex, BN2 3LH, UK.

All Tracks will be promoted on the BRITS website: www.brits08.com and www.myspace.com/britsapressessions for the public to listen to and comment. The three successful bands will be selected from a combination of the public choice and the BRITS music coordinators' decision.

Details:
Competition opens - now! So get those demos in ASAP.
Competition closes - Winners will be announced March 1st 2008
