Formed in January 2005 from the ashes of various promotions companies, Out To Win has continued to give local talent as well as small DIY bands an opportunity to play Portsmouth. Not just at a professional venue in the heart of Portsmouth but also support slots for major bands such as Hatebreed, The Haunted, God Forbid, Armour For Sleep, Men Women and Children, The Datsun’s and Army Of Freshman.
2008 sees a distinct change in Portsmouth scene finally with DIY shows cropping up in a variety of smaller venues Out To Win has decided to also go back to its roots and start putting on shows in smaller venues. Please check out the Southsea Punk DIY shows (not all punk) and the Evil Powers Of Rock N Roll who are both putting on free gigs at various venues who Out To Win hope to be working with this year.
Out To Win will both be doing the usual Devils Roadshows this year but with the added extra of a small touring/signed band on the bills to liven up both the shows and too help the bands get recognised. Also the introduction of smaller free shows at the Edge Of The Wedge and the Nell Gwynn will hopefully attract more new people to shows in Portsmouth.
If you are in a band or are simply interested in local/unsigned bands in Portsmouth and the surrounding areas please add and message us. These shows are also NOT pay to play. Every band is paid and watered at each show.
For bands who are from outside of the hampshire area trying to book up tours, promote themselves please respect that most of the shows put on are local bands and allready preasigned bands from further afield and there are limited dates so most of them time there are not spaces for the exact days you need. But feel free to ask so we can see if you can be accomodated.
Also please check out the following people who are also contributing to Portsmouth’s vibrant scene:
Pretty Boy Promotions, The Oberon Project, Blue Wire Promotions, ThingMyThong, Shitkicker promtions, Tutti Fruiti promotions and Scarecrow Promotions.
Thanks to Phil Woolway (Speed Of Dark) and Stuart Leech for the live photos.
