Looking to finesse your live performance skills? If you live near the Gold Coast, we recommend you rock along to the Coolangatta Sands Hotel’s MySpace page and check out what they’ve got on offer.

The Hotel and rock band The Smashed Crabs host a weekly jam session called Sands Jam where experienced and undiscovered talent battle it out. Prizes include music store gift vouchers and Tooheys and Jagermeister prize packs, and the chance to win a Jack Daniels branded Fender guitar, at the end of the series. Big Day Out tickets are given out at random to audience members. Sands licensee Chris Kelly says, “I believe there currently isn’t anything on the coast that supports this kind of event and undiscovered talent. It also gives bands and soloists who may not be getting regular gigs and want to practice in front of a crowd the opportunity to do so”. Sands Jam launched last Thursday and and will run over 13 weeks. For more information, and to participate contact Scott Martin (07) 5536 3066.
