WINDHOEK-The fourth edition of the annual Theatre of Namibia (NTN) Last Band Standing (LBS) has been launched.
According to the NTN Production Assistant, Senga Brockerhof, this year they received up to 44 forms from the bands and only 24 bands pass the audition for the edition which kicks off on February 01, 2014. “The first three rounds will battle it out and only one will be able to go to the second round,” she says. Bands such as Famaz Attack, Linda and Wambu & The Seuns are in the first round, followed by Jaliza & Friends, Amakhoe and Mr Green on February 05.
The LBS project is a development programme for the promotion of Namibian music. It proved to be one of the largest and biggest live music shows ever to be produced in Namibia and so far brought forth three winners of Ras Sheehama (2011), Shishani (2012) and Etondo last year.
