About Me

Yes, it is another official site. We've come up with Lamacq Unsigned to accompany my other page (myspace.com/stevelamacqdj) which covers the various radio shows now dotted round the place. Have a look if you get a chance.
Alongside it, this page will focus on and hopefully champion unsigned bands. You can hear some of them on the player above. I'll be updating them as regularly as possible, and trying to include a diverse selection of music.
You can find more info on the bands from their own sites listed on this page or have a look at the blogs. The other bands listed in our Top 12 Friends are also worth a listen too.
If you'd like to send us some music, I still prefer the old-fashioned 'hard copy' so you can mail your CDs here.

In the meantime I'll still be listening to as much music as possible through your website links. But bear in mind there's only me involved in this caper, not a huge team of people so it sometimes takes a while for me to catch up.
Also let us know when youre sending stuff if you're happy for us to maybe include your music on this page in the future.Anyway.....more postings to come.
In the meantime thanks to Tom Robinson for helping this site get off the ground.
And don't forget the radio shows.
There's a featured demo every week on IN NEW MUSIC WE TRUST (Radio 1, Monday nights at 9pm)
And Friday's we have 6MUSIC UNSIGNED on my 6Music show which airs Mon-Fri 4-7pm. More details at bbc.co.uk/6Music.
