CHAMPIONS OF THE 2009 'BATTLE FOR LOS ANGELES' BAND COMPETITION RETURN HOME

Brisbane-based Rock band, ASTRALALIENS, arrive back home after a triumphant year in America, which culminated in the band toppling 35 Los Angeles bands to win the Grand Final of the 2009 LA Rock Band Championship “The Battle for Los Angeles”.

Held in Hollywood, The Battle for Los Angeles had a pre-selected field of 36 top L.A. bands, that fought out 6 semi-finals on the way to the Grand Final, which the ASTRALALIENS won by a large margin in both the audience’s and judges’ voting.

The ASTRALALIENS have just concluded their second round of US dates, appearing at many of Hollywood’s renowned music venues, including appearances at The Viper Room, Key Club, Knitting Factory, The Mint, Whisky A Go-Go, The Derby and other prominent venues.

ASTRALALIENS’ members are no strangers to band competitions, having won several in Australia. Originally known at home as De Jah Dan Dah, they rose to local prominence by winning the “Bandfest” rock contest in Brisbane. Soon after, they won the "Best Radio-Friendly Band" title at the finals of "ROCKSTAR…The Real Deal!", the Brisbane rock band search held at Dreamworld and sponsored by Triple M, Coca-Cola and Wizard Records. As a result they were signed by Australian independent label, Wizard.
