About Me

About Ejector Seat

We are promoters based in Southampton. There are two of us. We organise nights at various venues in Southampton, Brighton, Bournemouth, and Winchester. We like music that is different and new. We take pride in introducing new acts to new audiences. We only put bands on we love, there is no point in promoting something if your heart is not in it. Defining what music we love is difficult; we have a wide taste in music, and have put on all sorts of bands, from post rock to folk, hip hop to indie, rock and electronica.
'...the scene round here has become a great deal more interesting since they came along, solely saving the local circuit from being identical to almost every other city in the UK, i.e. just a swathe of Battle of the Bands semi-finalists and IPC-friendly Libs-by-numbers outfits.' Drowned in Sound
'Picking up the torch that John Peel lit' BBC
'Ejector Seat are really good, they are one key opening for people to find out about new bands - they put on really interesting bands' Rival Joustas
Check our top friends out as some of them are playing upcoming Ejector Seat nights, some are just great artists...
