A currently shite MySpace page for Midlands UK bands.
The point is to use this page to advertise your gigs and to keep in touch with other likeminded bands in the area without feeling like a complete arse for filling fan pages with junk mail. You know who you are!.
Promotions companies may also join so that if they're looking for bands to play a venue in the Midlands, all they have to do is visit this page for local bands to choose from and they have a full spectrum of sounds.
So if you're a new, up and coming talent in the midlands, whether you're a generic Indie band or Cock Rock band get your name down on the list!!!!!
Hey! Thanks again for being our friend. Make sure you have a little listen to our album Songs For Abandoned Buildings. If you like it, please follow the link on the player to buy it from itunes so we can play a town near you! Don't forget to give us a review on itunes when you buy it :)
*** THE MANDIGANS ARE COMING BACK HOME - 20TH OCTOBER - MANCHESTER DRY BAR ***
We've spent the past few months away from Manchester gigging around the UK while writing our new album
You can hear all these songs in MANCHESTER at Dry Bar on 20th Oct - get tickets online from http://www.wegottickets.com/event/59016 or message the lads on myspace for them
*** NEW PHOTOS AND MYSPACE LAYOUT - CHECK IT OUT ***
Also check out the new photos on myspace and comment them so we know which you think are the best - they've been done by Karen McBride, the photographer behind iconic images of Liam Gallagher, The Ting Tings and Robbie Williams
So, we've a gig coming up and we'd love it if someone from Guestlist was in the crowd. Failing that, we'd like some constructive criticism on this poster:
Take 4 of the best up-and-coming live bands – each a capable headliner in their own right (NO ropey filler acts or cover bands!) and intersperse with genre traversing, decade hopping recorded music ranging from Cutting Edge to Indie Classic Anthem to Guilty Pleasure from 9pm until late for only £4 and you have a SICK night out!
"STRAWHOUSES is all about that feeling that we're living blissfully unaware that we're on unsteady ground.
Their musical influences are diverse; from the melody kings of Radiohead, REM and U2, to the tribal beats of Killing Joke, to the darkest moments of Joy Division and The Smiths. "
"FAKE UNION is a project that strives to make thoughtful music. Making songs that are edgy and uncomfortable is what they are good at. So they keep doing it, with smiles on their faces and fists in the air!"
hey there we just uploaded a new track and announced the new line up, if you could go to our page and let us know what you think that would be awesome :)
THE MANDIGANS - LIVE @ MANCHESTER ARNDALE........ JULY 1ST - 7PM
Its our only Manchester gig of the Summer as we're taking a break to write some new songs - so come on down for your last chance to hear the old Mandigans songs
WHATS THE DATE AND WHAT TIME? Wed July 1st @ 7pm
WHERE? Halle Square - its where JD Sports and Henri Lloyd store are
(Note: There's a very very small chance the gig may get moved to Exchange Square, near Next, so if you dont see a PA system and band around 6.30pm at Halle Square you know where to move to)
ISNT A GIG IN A SHOPPING CENTRE A BIT WEIRD? Yeah, in the UK maybe, but they happen all the time in America.... so come down, make noise, invite your mates and make sure everybody knows the Mandigans are in the building
IM NOT IN MANCHESTER SO CANT MAKE IT? We have gigs throughout the Summer in Wigan, Blackburn, Leeds, London, Birmingham and maybe a few more TBC so keep checking http://www.myspace.com/themandigans
