Pepsi, I think you would be classed as an Edinburgh band. The idea is to give the local bands a platform to perform on, so these spaces would be specifically for them. As Kev said, even if you don't agree with the format of these things it's still a free night out with lots of good music on offer (hopefully)

We are having a 'rest of Scotland' battle in Inverness which would be the one for all bands outside Caithness to enter. There's a lot of interest in it and loads of bands have put their name in to play. It is more of a way of getting the festival exposure outside of Caithness tho to be honest.
