Sorry Auckland it hasn't made it as far as you yet.
The VALT (Vegas Alternative) is an album and DVD package, it is a collaboration with 10 of the finest bands to ever rock the crowds of Invercargill. It features the very best new original rock, metal and alternative music and art that Invercargill has to offer, offering something for everyone. What ever your taste, from the heaviest metal of Osmium to the rock'n'roll blues of Trashout Fridays, the smooth dub of My Chainsaw its all covered.
While listening to the music, picture yourself at a cranking house party surrounded by friends and family, the fourth member of a band rocks up and decides to pick up the drum kit and have a blast. This is how Invercargill rocks. Its out of the venue and into the house parties of our friends.
The VALT has been aired on RadioOne in Dunedin, bFM and ALT TV in Auckland, and on Underground Sounds in Adelaide, Brisbane, and Sydney. If you would like to air the VALT on your radio network please send me a message.
Here's what some of the people say:
"Gizzy, your CD+DVD is amazing! I couldn't believe how good it was!"
- Tiffany
"Wow bro I just watched it 3 times its professional as!"
- Charlie
"The music, the talent, the packaging and the video are so well done."
"That was the coolest gig I've played since the Nirvana Tribute show 3 years ago! Thats awesome dude!"
- David Hewitt, Formerly of the Above
This is a truly great album produced and promoted by entrepreneurial producer/promoter Daniel T. Flack.
