Gibson tent.Gibson would like to thank all the bands who entered the Gibson and Olympus LS -10 Unsigned contest to win the opportunity to open on the Gibson Stage at the Download Festival 2008.We had an amazing response with over 350 unsigned bands entering this special contest. In the end the three-piece rock band Verra Cruz took top honours. Verra Cruz was chosen by a distinguished panel of industry judges: BBC Radio 1’s Rock Show presenter Dan Carter, Kerrang’s Katie Parsons and A&R specialist Olivier Behzadi. Verra Cruz rocked the Gibson Stage on Saturday June 14 to a full tent and they also took home a new Olympus LS-10 linear recorder as part of the contest prize.To view the other band entries please visit the official contest site http://www.myspace.com/gibsonolympus.For more information on the winning band Verra Cruz please visit http://www.myspace.com/verracruz.Three-piece rock band Verra Cruz.Three-piece rock band Verra Cruz.KISS - Tommy ThayerGibson tent.
