Owing to circumstances beyond our control, The Big Love Company has rationalised our live music nights, and will only be hosting Sunday night sessions at The Thunderbolt in Totterdown for the foreseeable future. Despite the sudden cancellation of all of the gigs at The Full Moon and Attic Bar, and the subsequent burden of work that this has entailed, we are thrilled that this setback has prompted a move to The Thunderbolt in our efforts to salvage our live music commitments. The Thunderbolt is an exceptional venue that genuinely cares about live music and unreservedly endeavours to provide the highest level of support for all of the bands and artists that perform there. This will be the first time that The Big Love Company has had the opportunity to work with a venue that adopts such high standards, and who truely understands what being a live music venue is all about. Naturally we are thrilled about this, and we feel privileged to work with them. Venues like this are extremely rare... it really is an honour to be a part of what is being established there.

The Big Love Company is committed to raising awareness of the wealth of creativity and talent that exists in Bristol and Bath. Our ultimate aim is to swell the numbers of people that attend live music and multi media nights.
We are also developing ideas to assist artists and bands in their efforts to progress their musical careers. Please subscribe to our blog for regular updates and opportunities.
The BigLove Company also works closely with a number of independent festivals within a 50 mile radius of Bristol and Bath. Festivals play an essential role for live performers that cannot be underestimated.
We have already hosted a fair number of Festival Pre-Parties, and we are set to hold a few more before the summer is out. In fact, our first night at the Thunderbolt will be a Croissant Neuf Summer Party Pre-Party.
We love Croissant Neuf for their exceptional professionalism and integrity. This long established concern is at the forefront of solar technological development, and employs solar wizardry that others try and fail to replicate. Their 1,000 capacity live music marquee fairly dances on it's poles when the 10k solar powered rig boots up. This coupled with an impressive LED light rig that uses less power than it takes to boil a kettle surpasses many festival stages that use conventional technology to achieve their ends.
Croissant Neuf have booked a fair number of Bristol acts for their festival in Usk, Monmouthshire (1/2 an hours drive from the centre of Bristol). It takes place on 15th, 16th, 17th August when the weather has surely got to have sorted itself out...!!!*?*?*!!!

Here is a very recent video of the Indy Award nominated artist Vince Freeman from his trip to LA. Things are really happening for Vince at the moment... and the video will give you an insight into why... He's a very lovely man, with a lot of talent! Vince will be playing at The Full Moon on Sunday 20 July
All future updates to our activities will be posted in the blog on The Big Love Company page on Myspace and will be featured in our on-line magazine. Please subscribe to one or both if you are interested in reading about what we are up to.
Big Love

IMPORTANT: ALL BIG LOVE COMPANY ACTIVITIES ARE SUSPENDED FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE
The Big Love Company is a music promotions company that hosts regular live music nights at The Thunderbolt every Sunday night.
The Thunderbolt is a great little 150 capacity venue situated on the Bath Road. It serves a good range of excellent beers and ales, has an enclosed garden and an incredibly warm and intimate feel. Having worked with a quick succession of other venues over the last three months, it is with some relief that we can finally say that we feel as though we have found our natural home.
Please join us on Facebook by following the link if you would like to receive event invitations to the nights that we put on...

Fresh from their show at Barcelona's Primavera festival, Teeth Mountain will be unleash their heavy concoction of new-wave tribal psychedelic sounds on Cube, using driving percussion like other bands use guitars.
Deep, thick layers of rhythms and overlays of ambiance, from the gritty to the sublime, this eight-piece outfit create a controlled mayhem of weighty neo-tribal trance music, part Indian, part African, part Balkan, and part Baltimore, that transforms consciousness and carries the group and their listeners to higher states.
The Wire magazine recently praised their 'refusal to acknowledge any kind of destination point for their jamming, achieving a convincing state of suspension throughout, helped by some engagingly forceful drumming.'
Teeth Mountain pummel with noise and drums but are always inviting and joyous, a new wave of tribal sounds in underground music. Be prepared to witness a heady, peyote-voodoo brew, getting you out of your seats and on your feet. Teeth Mountain will enthrall you in a rhythmic, musical spell.

Rampant Rabbit.
Continuing Leeds' strong tradition of exciting DIY noise rock, Rampant Rabbit are a rare and strange blend brewed in 2007. Musically, the dual bass trio deftly manoeuvre between complex math funk out riffs not dissimilar to Faraquet or Oxes and sludge-laden doom drones for fans of Boris or Melvins. Also they have fit young faces and lots of shouting.
Numbering just 8 strings between them members Henry Myers (Hank Haint, Zoob Toob) Luke James Webb (Dawn Chorus) & Adam Nodwell (Signuls, Massive Heron) have grown a maze of entangling rhythms on a solid foundation of mega-loud rock that celebrates influences including Fugazi, Shellac & Zu. Rampant Rabbit have already stunned crowds supporting the likes of I'm Being Good, Action Beat, Bilge Pump, That Fucking Tank, Take a Worm for a Walk Week, Lords, Nisennenmondai, Cleckhuddersfax & Oxes.
Rampant Rabbit will have a stricly limited edition EP 'Power Trio 2007 - 2009' on tour with them available only at the gigs!
