Shamal Winners - Junkyard Groove!!!
December 15th 2006 saw the Middle East rock scene join together as one at the Dubai Country Club, to celebrate their very much stifled music scene and to witness the biggest music competition this region has ever encountered!
Up for grabs was a 3 year world wide recording contract with Creative Kingdom Records USA, a music video and a reality TV show to be made of the winning band through Zee Arabiya, plus the privilege of opening up for some of the biggest bands in the world at the Dubai Desert Rock Festival 2007.
Seven unsigned bands from in and around the Middle East took to the stage in this intense battle between India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Egypt. All genres of rock music were played from metal, melodic, death metal, acoustic, alternative, funk and gothic.
The event was an intense 4 hours, with the crowd pulsating to the music. At least 1,000 attended with bus loads turning up from Abu Dhabi to give their support. All cultures attended, here to support their countries, here to support their music scene.
The band’s standard of live performance and musical composition was high. The judges commented that it was a hard decision to decide on a winner, but there could only be one band that could walk away with this phenomenal prize…
Junkyard Groove from India were that band! Fusing rock with funk to give an uplifting style that reaches out to all ages, they wowed the audience with a tight, high energy, flawless, musical stage performance.
The next step for Junkyard Groove is to go into the studio, perfect their stage show for their first international performance at the Dubai Desert Rock Festival 2007, and prepare for world domination documented through their own Reality TV show on Zee Arabiya!
SHAMAL takes place and has grown because of the gracious support of local business leaders, including CSM, Creative Kingdom Records USA, Zee Arabiya, DUREX, SLS, AAA, Al Laith, Red Eye, First Security, First Net.
