An indie garage rock group has won Whitehorse’s 2024 Battle of The Bands contest, held at Box Hill Institute on Friday 4 October 2024. 

Target Audience blew away the judges and the crowd with their energy, sound and showmanship. The band’s set included a mix of their original songs along with covers of hits by The Strokes, Taylor Swift and The Ramones. 

They performed alongside three other fantastic acts at the contest including Nymph Spit, Jamais Vu and Triple Seven. Nymph Spit were awarded a door prize for bringing the most fans along to the event. 

Target Audience will now represent Whitehorse in the Battle of The Bands Eastern region final, to be held in Hawthorn in December. 

Battle of The Bands is an annual all-ages event organised by Council’s FReeZA committee, Flying Pigs Events.  Find out more about FreeZa 'Flying Pigs Events' Committee and follow them on Instagram @whitehorseyouthevents

The committee thanks local businesses Bradshaw Music Productions and Hydra Rehearsal Studios for providing prizes and sponsoring the contest.
