I know what you’re thinking: Your band is awesome, ready to tour the world and play your songs for people in towns not called “Bend,” “Redmond” and “Sisters.” The only thing holding you back from total world domination is your lack of wheels. Or, at least, wheels that’ll hold you and your handful of hygienically challenged band mates, plus all your gear and fast-food bags.
Never fear! “Last Band Standing” is here! Local radio station Clear 101.7 FM is staging a battle of the bands at Boondocks Bar and Grill in Bend, and the first-place prize is an eye-catcher: $30,000 worth of stuff, including a 15-passenger van, a record contract and a guitar. There are prizes for second, third and fourth place, too, but they aren’t a van.
The contest gets going on April 22, and deadline for entry is April 11, which is soon, slacker. Details and the entry form are here. (Here’s info on MySpace and Facebook, for those of you so inclined.)
Winners will be determined by a vote of the Boondocks audience each night and will go on to unparalleled fame and fortune, or at least to learn a few things about band-van maintenance.

Are kids allowed to watch Last Band Standing? My son is a budding musician.
Hey there, Mike. Just talked to the organizers and you have to be 21 to attend…
Thanks Ben. What a pity. Kind of short sighted, I think! Excludes all the young up an coming youth. Oh well.
Yes, my son just went down there with my husband and was told 21 and over, very disappointed- he is 16
So, not to be really dumb… but I can’t find event info. like date. time, location, cost, etc.
Hey Lfurg … are you looking for info about this year’s LBS, which starts Friday? Just want to make sure, since this post is about a year old and about the 2010 LBS.
Anyway, this year’s starts Friday at 8 p.m. at Century Center (70 S.W. Century Drive, Bend). Tickets are free and can be picked up at a bunch of sponsor locations listed here:
