There's Always Ink tattoo documentary
If you are an unsigned band / act who have been directed to this page by a random business card, a poster from anywhere accross the country or an add on MySpace, THIS is probably what I need your music for!
I am documenting Golden Dragon Tattoo Studio for my independent film.
I pitched my idea to 4Talent and got a small commission, along with some exposure on the 4Talent website.
I need your music, and in return, I will give you 10 seconds full screen exposure on my DVD that will be sent out to media companies across the world, and then distributed over the UK, and who knows where else?!
This is a massive chance for unsigned bands to get exposure, so help me to help you!
Get in touch and I'll let you know any details I missed out!

I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside.
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance.
I know now, this is who I really am.
My name is David Andrews, but I prefer to be known as Dez.
And I'm from Lincolnshire, England
1987: I was unleashed into the world.
1992: I moved to sleepy Sleaford in Lincolnshire.
2003: I got my GCSE's and did an apprenticeship with Siemens.
2004: I gave up pretty much everything to study Media in Lincoln
2005: I gave up everything else to move to Chester to carry on my studies
2007: I graduated with MMM in BTec National Diploma in Media Moving Image and was offered a place on the BBC's Blast Traineeship.
2007 (Summer): If someone had told me that I'd be doing what I'm doing right now, I wouldn't have believed them
This summer has included:
Filming and interviewing at Beached Festival
Documenting a play called "Alice!"
Doing a feature on the Harry Potter book launch
Meeting The Chuckle Brothers
Doing a live session with Rebecca Holden
2007 (Autumn): I started working on my independent film. I then pitched the idea to 4Talent and they loved it. Nothing like a bit of exposure!
This proves that life really is what you make it
On a serious note, since deciding to study Media, I've really enjoyed my life.
I've had to take the rough with the smooth by working pretty rubbish jobs, but it looks like it's paid off.
As well as:
Vision Modelling and Casting
Chester Arts Council
Lonely Nights Films
Ugly Records
I'm pretty much a one-man show when it comes to my personal filming (for Golden Dragon and BBC.co.uk) where I come up with the idea, film it, edit it and publish it online and onto DVDs
You can see most of my photos and videos here
Apart from the ones with... copywrite issues!
hello! we are playing in the surface unsigned festival this year, our first round is on the 25th feb at the dry bar. It would be amazing if you could give us a text vote to boost our chances. it cost a pound ontop of the normal text and a %goes to charity.
If you message me your home address I'll send you the whole thing, though ..Grow Up Let Down Swing.. or ..Six Rum Saviour.. would probably be best for it. Ta, Joe
In that case then yes indeed. It would be cool and I look forward to seeing the finished thing! Which song do you want, or should I send you the 11 track album I've got recorded and you cn choose? x
I saw your thing on Lincolnbands and enjoyed your tattoo videos but my music's not really that heavy, so I don't think it would suit it! Thanks anyway though, keep up the good work dude, Joe
Lawlz! >.< I don't really get Manchester bands... they're a bit... loud and mental for me. ^-^ And I wish I'd made that display photo smaller! It's ok though, geeky fun. ^-^ Aw dude last night... I just hate my venue. There were 30 people. Flood of Red played the headline slot and just no-one did anything. Rubbish crowd. Oof tres excited about Roloooo Tomassiii.. we must talky about this some more (when I get to work - doing web stuff so I'll be logged in and with an Internet *woo*). Ciaooo! xx
i'm really into theatre! that is what i want to do! and at the moment i am trying to set up a portfolio for the shows that i have done at i just need a proper image that i can use for the front of it! like a picture of me in black and white that has been taken proffessionally! when i go for auditions and things, they always ask me if i have one and i don't! its a bugger xxx
its all good! those pics are amazing! i really like the one you have at the minute! would appreciate some pic comments if you could! (even though they aren't that good!) i want to go somewhere and get some really good pictures taken of me so that i can start a portfolio but i need a good picture for the front! xxx
some of the things that you have done are actually amazing! they really are!
