Two people with an over-appreciation for good music and a dream of promoting bands once met on a bus and got talking. Some time later, once they had started promoting their favourite unsigned bands seperately, they met again in the street. Coincidence? Most probably.
Point is, they decided to get together and put together some events with the best unsigned bands they could find. Children in need said that they were welcome to do some gigs for them, and so indeed they decided to do so. Their plan - some charity gigs, some gigs purely for the enjoyment of music, some gigs just to have a good time.
And here they are!
STUFF TO MENTION!!!! would be..
♥ Right now, we're all loving Relentless Sounds. These guys not only record for you at an awesome level, but they geniunely give a fuck what it turns out like!! Go and check them out if you are thinking of recording, theyr
really cool guys too and they work really well with bands.
♥ We're also loving student graphic designer James Tastic, offering personalised logos for bands, posters and other graphic artwork, at an affordable price for up and coming bands. Who will come see you with a handwritten poster, or one rustled up in paint!? See examples of his work at myspace.com/detoursstreetteam and myspace.com/silversky1
His potfolio is available online somewhere, but I don't have the link to hand so give him a message - he's on the top friends here!
