Unsigned bands preselling tickets 1859 11
Started by mutch
i need answers people.
i've noticed this alot in dublin and it makes no sense to me at all. you need a decent logistics operation to carry this off to its full potential, but anyone thats unsigned doesnt have this to hand, right
wouldnt it be easier to just take cash at the door(like most unsigned acts seem to do) surely the demand levels for unsigned bands is not such that tickets have to be issued.
a manager of a local unsigned band encourages this.
im curious to know the reasons f...

Movie Soundtracks 1552 17
Started by Optimus
I dont know about anyone else on this board but I've always loved a good soundtrack.
There's nothing that stirs you emotionally or mentally like a good soundtrack. The Empire Strikes Back, for example, has an inspired soundtrack. Something with themes, sweeping tones. It captures the essence of the movie in so many ways, and almost overshadows it.
The other side of the OST coin is something like A Life Less Ordinary or Fight Clubs soundtracks. Again, they are the ready and willing sidekic...

Best Band T-Shirt 2248 6
Started by mutch
not much exlpaining this one really.
metal provides most of my favorites cos they are mostly hillarious.
some random death metal acts t-shirt at ozzfest a few years ago read: 'When I'm God, Everybody dies!' which is uplifting in that at least the act couldnt be accused of favoritism or racism.
my actual favorite metal t-shirt is the metallica one with 'birth, school. metallica, death' on the back. hillarious stuff.
non metal wise theres a few, the pixies had the coolest t-shirts around t...

CPU RECORDS HACKED 1880 5

On Sunday evening CPU Records was maliciously hacked. The culprit entered using a webmasters password and proceeded to methodically delete all of CPU's administration modules. This was all done just before our system backed itself up.
Once this was done it meant that our system backed up with a deleted site! For the past few days we have been endeavouring to recover as much of the deleted information as possible. Unfortuneatly this is the damage that was done...

The Internet and unsigned bands 1402 7
Started by bonzo
This site is fantastic. Bands having websites is good, you get to learn more about them, see their picture etc. But it strikes me that no band has ever broken on the internet. Bands are screaming in space on the internet.
I think websites for unsigned bands give a false impression, take away from the music. What do you think

Irish Bands Reunited 1345 11
Started by Rev Jules
I have been griped to VH1 over the last few weeks as the presenter of Bands Reunited has acted as a kind of music version of the Truth and Reconciliation commission and has brought pop bands like Haircut 100, ABC and Flock of Seagulls back together and, in some kinds, healed familial splits that would have continued to simmer indefinately.
My question therefore is, what Irish bands would you like this Kofi Annan of the goggle box to reunite

Started by three16
I've been trying to contact the green Lizard for the past few days about booking a gig, but I can't get through. I'm guessing the place is still open as there giveamanakicka and the vaz are playing there tonight, and I've seen nothing on their sites to say it's been cancelled.
I've tried ringing the venue at 01-4545-421, but no luck and i've tried a couple of websites (green-lizard.tk & greenlizardvenue.com) and nothing.
So if anyone has played there, or knows any band that have played the...

But was the 80's really that bad
We had musical evolutionary steps courtesy of New Order and Duran Duran.
We had the King of Pop in his golden days before he went, y'know, odd.
Yes we had strange fashion periods but I hardly think that this is relevant in the grand history of music/talent. Who c...
