VH1's Band on the Run During this time, VH1 heard Flickerstick's tune on the compilation and invited them to audition for the Bands on the Run show. After auditioning among 2,000 other bands the band was chosen to be on the show. However, in the midst of the reality show craze of the moment, the show tended to focuse more on the joking, affairs, scandals, etc. rather than the music. Disappointed by this, Flickerstick decided to make the best of it and kept focusing on their craft. Flickerstick ended up winning the show and went back on the road to celebrate it.
