Okay, so we're all sitting and waiting patiently for the festival to arrive. It’s only a couple of days away but it feels like forever! So to fill the gaping void, here’s a quick Indietracks 2010 quiz!
This year we have a series of prizes, as follows:
a) the fact that if you win you will be the Indietracks 2010 Quiz Winner. Forever. Impress your friends. Find love. Join the immortals.
b) A copy of the Indietracks 2010 compilation CD. A double CD in fact, with 44 sizzling indiepop tunes.
c) A couple of Indietracks-related promos which we have lying around. (And by a couple we mean literally two.)
d) Um… we’ll try and find something else good, we promise. Some chocolate, maybe. Look it’s not really about the prizes, it’s the taking part. Plus we’ve been busy the last few weeks - 26 band interviews!
Anyway, if you’d like to take part, please email your answers by 2pm on Thursday 22 July to indietrackspress@gmail.com with the word ‘Quiz!’ in the subject title. We’ll stick the answers up sometime next week. Okay, here goes...
