About me: I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Hello!
We are A Badge of Friendship - gig promoters and DJs based in good old London town. We have been around since 2005 and have had the fortune of doing some really great shows with bands like Hell is for Heroes, The Twilight Sad and Enablers to name but a few. We've promoted shows all over the city from The Barfly to The Good Ship.
We've DJ-ed our own successful run of club nights at The Fly as well as Rock Sound's 100th Birthday Bash and the Kerrang! Awards Aftershow. We love spinning a mixed bag of musical treats from classic, fist-in-the-air, 80s anthems to jaggy, alternative knee-jerking rock...
We also provide print and online PR services to bands and record labels. We are believers in pushing good music to the great masses and it's our mission to try and put new bands on the map and help labels find their voice.
