   Independents Uncovered: General Info
Member Since2/19/2008
Band Websitewww.independentsuncovered.blogspot.com
Band MembersI've been asked why I'm doing this and who I am and a few other things so, I figure I'll slap them in here.

Why Am I Doing This:
--------------------------
1. I worked in Radio at my college and at a small AM station during my senior year and decided not to continue on with it thinking that it wasnt what I expected - even though I love music.

2. A band here called 'the poems' - I "bumped" into their page last year sometime and, just thought their music was fantastic but I wasnt hearing them on any radio station here - where I live - Near Washington DC.
Sooooooo.......I went a little crazy and for about 2 1/2 months I emailed the Craig Ferguson show in the US and informed them they needed to invite this band to the US and play on his show. E. Gadds - they're his Countrymen (and women) you know!
And, I stopped doing that at some point, but Craig's show got an email from me - pretty much every day for about 2 1/2 months - during the writers' strike.

I met a guy in early January when I was supposed to go see Lisa Loeb play at XM Radio and she canceled last minute but, I ended up talking with a guy named Jerry who runs the show callded "the loft" on channel 50 and it turns out we know a lot of the same people and he intro'd me to his show partner Mike.

Flash forward about 4 weeks later.
The guy who sits (now used to) across from me has a brother who was DJing on WGMU Radio and when I heard his show and him playing Kanye West about 3 different times, I started thinking - you know......I'd like to do this.

So, I email the station.
They Say Yes.
They said yes to the show type.
They Just Said Yes!
So, that's how it all started. And that's why I ask for bands to supply their music to me so I can play it and that's why I reach out to bands and you singer/songwriter types to hop on our show and share what you're doing and how you'r doing it.

Because It's Interesting!!!!! And, I hope that others can get something out of your struggles and your triumphs.
As people, we may all love a good train wreck, but we love the underdog coming out and conquering his or her own Goliath and hearing about it.

InfluencesAny singer/songwriters or bands who went before us all and got the ball rolling.

Independents Uncovered is a Radio Show that broadcasts on www.wgmuradio.com every Monday at 7:30 PM Eastern - USA time.

The goal of the show is to play artists who are either unsigned or signed to independent labels.

Other goals are to
-----------------------------
- Promote local awareness of the Local Music Scene and Local Artists here in the Northern Virginia area
- Promote artists outside of the USA
- Offer an outlet for music within the George Mason University community
- Provide awareness of music scenes outside of our immediate vicinity
- Play other artists who have inspired the featured artists to become musicians or follow a music career
- Interview bands/band members and get their insights on what it takes to be a musician today - questions that people really want answers to

I think that's a good start for our goals.

Hi Independents Uncovered,

Its been a while and we thought it was about time we updated you on what we've
been up to. Our debut EP Little World is now available at our gigs and will
soon be available from our myspace and facebook pages, you will also be able to
download it from itunes, but we don't have a release date for this as yet.

To celebrate the fact that we have now reached 25,000 plays on myspace, we are
giving you a free MP3 of Rockabye Baby. All you have to do is send your email
address to queen.elvis@yahoo.ie and we will send it to you.

We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to
bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV
this week with the full line up. We are currently taking bookings for
gigs/concerts/festivals and can be contacted on the email above, or through our
myspace and facebook pages.

Thankyou for your continued support in what has been a great year for us!

Best Wishes

Caroline and Colin

Happens to me all the time. That and there is something about everything that reminds me of South Park. I heard there is a country group, Rascal Flats I think, that is being sued over a song that is supposed to sound just like shadows of the night.
