POSTAL : KBY, PO BOX 14721, London, N7 6WD
EMAIL : [email protected]
or send me an e.mail on myspace
So, send us a current demo or a CD with your best tracks. We listen to everything we receive, but please don’t be offended if we don’t get back to you. We’re busy people and only have time to concentrate on bands that we want to book.. or bands that we can fit into one of the Sunday night bills.coming up. E.mail MP3s or links to web pages, is also cool, though a CD & a Biog is best. If you e.mail MP3s please also included a phone number, & state where the band is based in the U.K please. We will book bands from outside of London, though you need to have a following, or of created a really buzz on your band to get a KBY GIG @ THE BARFLY as the venue is 200 capcity, & a band needs to be able to bring a crowd. Saying that, I have booked bands in the past, that were total unknows, as I was total blown away with the CD, or felt that the band had massive potential , or had created their own buzz, so go on send it in, you might be the be next new thing, ( like Lost Prophets & Bullet for My valentine, or many other bands, were when I booked, them, before they had a following atall ) If that hasn’t put you off, then we’d love to hear from you.
