you scratch my back...i'll scratch yours......

About Me

As soon as i gather a good amount of "collaborators" this bit will be much more newsfilled with updates on the goings on in London and the UK and also any relevant international events.But for now,here's what this is all about...
br My name is Leticia (pronounced properly Leh-teeth-ee-ah).....and mutual backscratching is my game......at least on this page......
...(some of you will already know me as my childhood nickname Leaf so...whatevers clever....although i really prefer my REAL name.....i mean....i think my parents knee jerk reaction to my arrival was right on......it means gladness and boy am i glad!happy happy joy joy!..but as you can see i even answer to Yo Bitch!)
I am the singer and co-songwriter in the band THE SCREECHES ... i am a jill of all trades as you can see if you go to my personal page.... Leticia's Brujeria YeYe .
But enough of me.....I have started this page with a more universal plan in mind......as a dj,dancer,actress,performer,tattoo artist and singer I have always been all about networking.....helping others and myself through mutual use of contacts....so if you're looking for a particular artist...say you are in a band and need a flyer:you come and look for designers...or you're a pohotographer looking to expand your portfolio:come here to find models,bands,whatever ....on tour and need a place to crash in a strange town:look here and put a shout out in the soon to be launched B.B.Forum and find a crash pad with someone in the collective.......and with that intention in mind, I decided to stop procrastinating and start a new profile solely dedicated to people and groups of varied artistic/cultural mediums that want to collaborate,help each other, and promote their local or international scene...or start a new one.....in fact my masterplan is to take the old ones (that are now starting to smell quite frankly)...over!
On this page i want people to feel free to contact each other,promote their projects,research other forms of expression, and basically communicate and help each other in any way possible.......
I will be showcasing bands and artists through the top8,pictures and songs as well as am open to linking to external websites as well.....
There will be no rules except that of solidarity...meaning simply that if you don't want to be generous with your knowledge,your contacts,advice,hints,art,music etc....then...just don't join the ranks.....simple as.
I will be also starting a fanzine as soona s i am able so stay tuned....
If you let me know via emails or postings of comments when youve got some action somewhere in england in particular london i shall add it to the diary.
If you are into me putting up one of your songs or featuring your artwork or photographs...etc....then please get in touch either through here or at [email protected](this is handy if sending me pictures,mp3s etc....)All copyrights etc... will be super duper respected cos i know how that is.So i would never use any material or images without your permission...in fact i would rather you be the one that solicits it....as it shows tome that you are of open mind and eager heart...or the other way around;-)
I really hope that this is the beginning of mutually inclusive slightly incestuous backscratchin' orgy type relationship thing........
VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!!!! So stay tuned as i shall be updating this with lots and lots of goodies.......and again feel free to advertise your gigs,shows,gallery openings,events etc....just keep in mind that it is not about shameless self promotion either...its about collaboration people!!!!
