A few weeks ago, Red Bull sponsored a Route 66 tour for two unsigned rock bands who competed for the chance of getting professional recording studio time in Los Angeles.
Here’s a video that summarizes the tour and contest:
Shows by both bands were in Chicago, St. Louis, Tulsa, Albuquerque, and Los Angeles. Journals and videos reveal that the bands ran through a cornfield maze in western Oklahoma, took part in the Big Texan’s 72-ounce challenge, and a guitar-solo contest in Two Guns, Ariz.
The tour finished in early November, but Red Bull is keeping the results close to the vest until it trickles out new video episodes from the trip. You can read the journals and see the videos here.
