Anger and porn at Netrock prize-giving
The official presentation of the prizes took place on Tuesday at the Rockhal. At the same time, Scarlet Anger and Porn Queen were both presented with Netrock trophies, something for them to place on their mantelpieces.
After 30 local bands performed at the Rockhal during the Netrock festival streamed live to the internet from 19 to 21 September, the daunting task of sifting through the score sheets from the judges(your wort.lu/en journalist being one of them) lay ahead to select a winner for the “Netrock Jury Prize”.
The prize given by the public, who voted live while each act was playing via the internet, had already been selected on September 21. This went to “Scarlet Anger” a metal band from Dommeldange. Their prize was being one of the bands that take part in a Diekirch Netrock Bar Tour across Luxembourg and feature as one of the selected bands on a CD of the Diekirch Netrock event.
After totting up the scores, the decision was unanimous: rock band Porn Queen came out on top, thanks to their performance, technique and compositions. Porn Queen’s prize, together with Scarlet Anger, will be taking part of the Diekirch Netrock Bar Tour in the Grand Duchy, and a professional recording of a 4-track EP at Rockhal studios.
