So with just over four days to go till we kick off the UK indie Showcase tour at the 100 club, we give you an insight into what its like from in the back room, ensuring thats this is a great night, at one of the best venues in the UK for live Music.
On Thursday night, we will arrive on Oxford Street and walk down those famous steps into that long narrow space that is the 100 Club, last time I was there it was 1983, playing with a band supporting the UK Subs, in what seems like somone elses lifetime ago.
Most if not all the the band members on the bill tonight were yet to appear on this world stage at that time or if they did they were overdosing on farleys rusks and baby food or happy watching playaway. Boy I feel old- but experienced Ha HA
We all read of how its difficult for unsigned bands to get gigs, we read of rubbish promoters who are lazy, of rip off venues, of Pay to play schemes, and how pay to play ruins music. So why is this any different- Well it is all NOT FOR PROFIT and finaced by us, because we love music and belive that some bands deserve a chance, not all, it has to be earned, and hard work is not always enough.
Five bands, all picked by us, get the chance to play the world famous 100 Club and have a platform to spotlight thier talent at one of the most prestigous UK live music venues in one of the coolests cities on the planet.
So we Picked;
Marines, Violet Bones, The Screening, The Hans Commission and Give an opening Slot to James Page
We chose these bands as they all have talent, passion and a unique style in thier own genre - Rock, Indie, Electro Pop, Indie Pop Folk and more- Get down and support them, we will share with you our thoughts, trials and stresses of the next few days as we get ready for this gig. See you there
