Bands on the Run is an American competitive reality tv show which first aired weekly on VH1 from April 2 to July 15, 2001. The show featured four unsigned bands competing for a "major recording contract." The winning band would receive a prize package which included: $50,000 in cash, $100,000 in musical equipment from Guitar Center, a showcase in front of recording executives, a fully produced music video to be aired in VH1's "rotation." In the season finale, it was revealed that the band Flickerstick won the competition.[1]
