FEATURE: Life As An Unsigned Band Part 2 - The Promoters

Where would we be without fantastic stage shows, pyrotechnics, massive moving figures, flying drum kits, and thousands of people crammed into venues, or up to the eyeballs in mud? Such is the diversity of live performances among modern bands that the show is as important as the music itself. You could be witnessing the spectacular lighting show of a Muse gig one night, the giant walking Eddie at an Iron Maiden gig the next, or be treated to the masters of stage presence such as Eddie Vedder or Steven Tyler on another day.

However, none of these bands woke up one morning with the money and expertise to build such amazing shows. They all cut their teeth in local bars and clubs learning their trade as musicians and performers. They are what many unsigned bands aspire to be.

Foals - Total Life Forever (REVIEW)

The 5 University drop outs from Oxford, release there much awaited 2nd album, Total Life Forever, to their expecting audience.

After a much praised debut album, there were high expectations for this record from the art house punks and it duly delivers with its blend of soulful, upbeat bass, electro drum beats, abstract lyrics, uncategorised guitar and electro keyboards.

This is a much more mature album, showing how there they have come since they formed in 2006, there style is different from any guitar band of the moment, they are fresh, experimental and manage to include influences from artists of the past without sounding anything other than unique.

LIVE: Kiss - Glasgow SECC - May 9th 2010

You could be forgiven for thinking it was the set of a remake of 'Evil Dead' set on the streets of Vegas and directed by Michael Bay. With more makeup than a Californian teen beauty pageant and more fireworks than a Chinese New Year, there's no doubt which band is owning this town tonight. New Yorkers Kiss have been around for almost 4 decades and with one of the most heralded back catalogues in the history of "All American Rock 'n' Roll", this show is destined to be a melt-your-face-off display of 'total awesomeness' (dude).

Silver Columns Announce Debut Album Details, Tour Dates & Tickets

When Silver Columns' white label singles "Brow Beaten" and "Yes, and Dance" mysteriously emerged, glinting and fully-formed, seemingly from nowhere last year, tongues were set wagging.

There hadn't been anything quite like them before - "Brow Beaten" was a skittering, helter-skelter electro pop jolt to the heart, sounding not unlike the spirit of Erasure trapped in an arcade pinball machine, while "Yes, and Dance" - cheekily, their own remix of a yet to be released track - was lush, slowed down, hallucinatory - the drowsy, lysergic morning after the messy night before. It was a brilliantly askew one-two pop punch unlike any other, and as fitting an introduction as any to Silver Columns.

LIVE: Foals - Nottingham Trent University - May 7 2010

Yesterday evening was a night to never be forgotten, for all those present to participate in the sweaty, chaotic and seminal Foals gig at Trent University Student Union, Nottingham.

Free Gatecrasher entry wristbands were handed out to ticket holders as they queued to step down into the uncharted depths of the small, intimate venue, but there was no party taking place anywhere in Britain on May 7th that could touch the one I and a few hundred others were about to let themselves in for.
