Now then..
I’m back once again with this ill behaviour… And a new Spotify playlist. Highlights this time around come from Mice Parade and their epic track Mokoondi. Mice Parade have established themselves as one of the most consistently brilliant bands over the last decade or so with half a dozen phenomenal releases, they’re due to tour the UK in October time, you’d be a fool to miss out on that one. There’s some Coldplay in there as well from when they were good and Tracy by arguably the greatest post-rock band of all time Mogwai is also included.
Barrels news… It’s up for sale, hopefully this wont affect our position as the live music promoters but if it does, we’ll certainly be going out on a high. Award winning traditional folk musician Emily Portman will be performing on June 11th alongside her all-star band of Lucy Farrell (The Unthanks) and Rachel Newton (The Shee), tickets are flying off the shelves for that one so if you fancy getting down for it you’d better make a move quickly.
We’ve taken on board another super-smashing-great band to manage. The Mockingbirds are a seven piece string-laden, ukulele yeilding, vocal harmony beast of a band, they’ve just finished recording their debut single at Blank Studios in Newcastle and we’re now looking get them a busy Summer of gigs, here’s the lead track from said single Wendy’s Melody.
Sona Di have been asked to perform at the launch night of KYEO.tv – a new interactive, video-based music & arts website launching in newcastle in april, founded by three north east-based journalists. The gig will take place at the Cumberland Arms on Tuesday April 6th and will be streamed in hd live so tune in to their website from 8 bells to see what the fuss is about.
I’ll leave you there, no one likes a chatterbox.
