What in the hell (tarnation) is Rocking For Dollars? You may be asking yourself. Put simply, it’s a fantastic and monumentous event that combines high stakes rock and roll with high stakes everything. Bands sign up to play; and by bands it can be the band you just started that afternoon, once everyonoe has playedeach band gets a turn to spin the wheel (come on down!), on the wheel there are prizes as well as skrilla ($$$). If none of the bands land on the skrilla it’s heldover to the next week and so on and so on, until someone wins.
This is a great opportunity to see some great music, play a show, have fun on a Sunday afternoon, blah blah blah
Rocking For Dollars is a veritable institution in the mighty city of Halifax. It’s been a focal point in building the local music scene there and is responsible for low attendance at work and school, and the related drop in productivity, for days following R4$.
This week there’s $150 on the wheel as well as three hours of rehearsal time at The New Black and a custom made guitar strap!!!!
