Thanks to the promoter who sent this text at 00:33 hours this morning, regarding an unspecified band: “Amazing. Drummer had a wank and burst a blood vessel and gone to hospital.”

how not to get a gig
Hi there,
Are name is [Band Name]. We are a four piece rock band and we are looking for gigs in the upcoming summer. Ordinarily, we contact venues by sending them our press pack but we’ve had too many none replies from places after doing so [that must surely tell you something]. Instead, we are looking for venues that might be interested in us and then sending it on.
If you are interested, then let us know and like i said, we’ll send you our press pack. If not, pleasse let us know anyway as otherwise, we’ll most likely keep trying until we receive a reply!
A somewhat flawed approach, I fear.
this is not pretentious
At present, my daily activities include working as an SSA at a school near Wimbledon, and outlining a book (pertaining to the ’minor’ genre of anarcha-feminist advocacy) interconnecting ethical questions concerning the ways in which the cultural devaluation of midwifery impacts on public health with a novel paradigm for philosophic-poetic praxis (I’m resolved to retaining one artistic persona committed to lyric poetry and song despite the fact that it could be seen as irreconcilable with the fact that I’m increasingly interested in writing poetry consonant with a Deleuzian affirmation of affective becoming attending to the stuttering of the creative moment, slips into unsyntactical speech, the emergence of breath patterns unbound by the dictates of calculative rationality, dismantling the ‘grammar of control,’ ‘syntax of command’ and the subject of narcissistic ‘self-expression’ that homogenising ideologies rest upon, and thus opening spaces for alterity to enter, the voice to be relocated, beyond the clamour of institutionalised materialism). But please don’t let all that bother you! I’m fortunate enough to have enough time and energy to give the music a serious shot.
Via Gumtree. Oof!
the worst thing to happen not just to music but to life in general
Subject: Band fromIndia
Message: Greetings from India! I am vocalist and co-songwriter with Kolkata (Calcutta) based quartet, PINKNOISE. We make music that is a quirky stew of contradictions. This is fearless music and this is the way we live in India. “The Dance Of The Diaspora” (2010). Folk music has always come from the village. But now, the city has its own folk music, too. We speak English when we’re polite. But our exclamation marks are in the mother tongue. The food on the table is continental. Before bed, it’s Sanskrit prayers at night. This can only happen in India. Where the culture is ancient. The attitude is future. And the state of peace is an unlikely mix of madness and endless calm. These songs are stories of the Indian diaspora. They are interfaces. Between lullaby and rap. Between South Indian temple dance and electro beats. Between elephant gods and thugs. Between back-then and tomorrow. In the now. You can hear the “Diaspora” demos at www.pinknoise.bandcamp.com “PINKFRAUD” (2009). Our irreverently tricked-out deconstructions of 10 select Pink Floyd songs ranging from the staple to the obscure. One enraged fan put it best after hearing them: “PINKNOISE is the worst thing to happen not just to music but to life in general.” Success! You can hear “San Tropez” and “Lucifer Sam” at www.myspace.com/itspinknoise “Quirkwork” (2009). Ghost grooves. Tricky treats. Hybrid chords assault the hordes. Electric texture. Good to eat. Melodies like demented swords. This music was crafted to challenge. Ourselves. And the audience. Twisted. Tongue-in-cheek. Acidly aggressive. Deceptively sweet. You can hear “Quirkwork” at www.pinknoise.bandcamp.com and watch some tunes on www.youtube.com/itspinknoise We plan to travel to the UK this summer and would love to perform at Sub 61. Thank you for reading. We look forward to hearing from you. With best regards, Jayashree Singh + + + PINKNOISE is: Jayashree Singh Voice Amyt Datta Guitar, Synth Gyan Singh Bass Jivraj Singh Beats www.itspinknoise.com www.pinknoise.bandcamp.com www.youtube.com/itspinknoise www.myspace.com/itspinknoise
musician threatens “deformation suit”
Hey! Musicians! Unless you have the necessary journalistic skills to counter-attack, you will generally just end up looking like a tit. Like the guy who responded to this review.
His gig at vicar st was truly amazing and I wish I could be in oz to see him play the Garden Party Festival. Once again those who have no idea what they are talking about or who are jealous I recommend to keep it to yourself or seriously you risk deformation suit for your comments. The song was given 5 stars by the irish times and three by the irish sun and a similar view in the hot press. WHO ARE YOU???
Brilliant.
