Flite wins Battle of the Bands

Congratulations and a hearty slap on the back to Flite from Project 9!

Bournemouth's Showbar was the venue, last Monday night, for this
year's Explo '96 'Battle of the Bands'. Now in its tenth year, this is
England's largest and most prestigious such contest and the Sowbar
provided the ideal venue for the audience that packed it. The event
commenced in July, and attracted a total of 42 local bands to enter a
demanding, three-month sequence of heats, quarter-finals and
semi-finals, all culminating in this week's filnal. Three bands fought
through@ Lady Winwood's Maggot; The Store Detectives and Flite. All
three are established and very popular local bands, and each brought
along their own set of fans and distinctive brand of music, ensuring a
noisy and festive atmosphere.

Each band performed a 40-minute set, and all were watched carefully by
a panel of eminent judges, which included representatives from four
major record companies. Flite took the stage at 11pm and stormed
through a cleverly paced dynamic act. After a tense wait while the
judges conferred, they were pronounced as the winners, and presented
with the handsome Explo 96 Trophy and a �500 voucher from Knighton
Heath Studios, a leading local recording studio.

Explo organiser Malcolm Hanson paid tribute to the Showbar's
management for allowing the use of their venue, free of charge,
thoughout the whole Explo run. 'It has been a brilliant year for
Explo' said Malcolm. 'The venue, the bands and the audiences. A great
event, and all credit to Bournemouth for nurturing such talent and
helping us to stage such a successful show. We'll be back!'. And so
will Flite; you're going to hear a lot more of this talented bunch of
teenagers!
