Kiss the Hurricane Promotions

About Me

"Here's to forever, we'll kiss the hurricane and walk full force into the storm...together"

Kiss the Hurricane Promotions was set up by a couple who both have a lot of experience in running gigs, as well as playing them. It is our aim to bring larger acts into the ever expanding music scene in Derby and offer support slots to bands we think are ace.

We love music to be as heavy, as brutal, as sparkly-delicate-tearjerkingmindblowingheartwrenchingskullcr ushinglyepic as it comes. And the rest.

If we like you, we'll make every effort to get you on one of our shows and we'll stay in touch with those who've impressed us, in the hope we've impressed you enough to work with us again. We wont mess bands around and in return, expect not to be messed around.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/19/2007
Band Members: Joseph Gunn & Heather Watson

Heather is primarily an acoustic artist who is originally from the Isle of Man. Heather has played numerous gigs with a whole host of bands. She has played a lot of different venues; pubs as well as festivals, won competitions and has a lot of gigging experience. Heather likes bands that do something a bit different, she loves glitches, disgusting beatdowns and soaring harmonies.

Joe has been one of the singers in the Derby band Fallen Friend for 7 years and has lots of experience running gigs as well as playing them. Joe has played with acts such as Enter Shikari, Archtiects, Exit Ten and many more. Joe is all about melodic vocals, uplifting choruses, slow-mo chugs and epic riffs.

A passion for music and a love of live shows is a shared and well explored aspect of both of their lives.
