Bikini Test Failure is the newest Alternative Guitar noise out of Manchester, UK.
Tracks from the debut album, Another Day, Another Fat Pile OF Cash have been receiving tons of airplay across the US and Canada over 150 Alt.Rock & AAA radio stations in 38 States so far as well as 70 stations at home in the UK. Australias Triple J has tipped Bikini Test Failure as One to watch.
Following instant radioplay in the States and UK for BTFs debut EPs, Are We Having A Good Time Yet? and Star, Blague Records quickly found useful independent distribution deals (Pinnacle/Native Music in the UK, BCD Music in the US) and is now busy capitalising on all this amazing exposure. CDBABY are doing a fabulous job selling BTF CDs and last month ITunes and 42 other digital download sites took on the album.
So what about the follow-up? Well, James is recording it now. As with the debut, you can make donations to Blague Records to help with the production cost - any amount you feel like - and that buys you a copy of the CD as soon as it's out. Paypal will tell us who you are. Last time, more than 2000 generous fans paid an average of $5 each which made the whole thing a LOT easier...
So in short, BUY the forthcoming Bikini Test Failure album NOW! Make a Paypal donation of any size and reserve your copy. Click HERE:
My cat total is now up to 5 as I had to take an old feral in before christmas. 5 is bordering on nutty...never mind, I've got the space and they don't smell-honest!
Hello, I thought of you last week whilst watching the programme about Factory records, and then again when I saw Moz on the tele. Have been meaning to write, but very lackadaisical in the correspondence dept lately, sorry, I need to rectify this. Hope you are well x
