NEW OLD CATEGORY – Best Live Act

The category “BEST LIVE ACT” was created in order to promote bands who would like to stage shows more often. The winning video of this category will be awarded to the act that will combine in the best way a good performance and its proper filming\editing .As part of our service, the BMVA team would promote tour dates to bands who will submit material to this category.

This week we received a new submission from the Black Cheetahs. Although the video was filmed in a studio (without audience), we found it nevertheless suitable for the BEST LIVE ACT category since it focused on the performance itself:

“Our  passion  is  to  be  on  stage and play our  instruments, and  yes, to really play  and  perform music as much as possible and manipulate all our instruments in real time. 

We are musicians and not slaves of the machines. Djing our music is not what we want. We don’t like the idea of pressing the play button and shake our heads pretending we are playing. We like the risk, that makes every gig unique. “
