First of all many thanks for being our friend! We are a very new organisation in Glasgow, Scotland, looking to promote new bands and musicians. We collect tracks from new bands and create compilation albums, which are then sold at a very competitve price to the general public via our distribution networks (see our profile for more information, basically think of us like the Big Issue but selling music). Best of all this service is highly professional and COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE!! This is really an excellent way of promoting your band widely and ethically in a very competetive industry! At the moment as we are just starting out production is on a small scale, but as a thanks to those who support us from the beginning we will re-release our first album when we begin to circulate and distribute more widely across the UK. Please see our page for more information about destitunes, and submitting your music for consideration. Our first album will hopefully be in late August, and will be a blend of Rock, Indie, and Folk styles.
Just cracked up laughing after spotting that the listing for the gig at Forest on June 1st looks like I am higher up the bill than you! Well played yesterday btw
A big thanks for a standout set at Blue Wednesday on 07.05.08. So good to have you play. And so nice to bump into you at the the Royal Oak the following evening!
