    2 bands didn't turn up for the Battle of the Bands heat ... Those that did were entertaining though.

    Hey Jase. Just to let you know The Variables are still very much active. We've spent the past four months creating something special for the local music scene... A recording studio. It's now live and open to the public. All the details can be found here: http://www.flux-studios.co.uk/ Any publicity you can help us with would be great. We're also going to be using the studio this week to record a single from our album which is a work in progress over the next few months ^_^

    A new year, but still the same old lack of info from the local bands. Apart from a few gigs from The Owsla, Last Gasp and At the Zoo there doesn't seem to be much on the horizon. Expect a few updates here early in January and then I'll review the future of this group.

    Placid groove were meant to be in heat 2 but dropped out of that to be moved to heat 3 but dropped out of that too, Aethereal dropped out too, so did Ennui, that makes 3. I was going to attend and I came back early from London to do so, but got a message that the aforementioned bands had all dropped out, so thought a fiver was not worth spending, simple.

    erm, actually only one band didn't bother turning up (placid groove),Trommelmaschine sr-88 (me) was also a late replacement getting in touch with jock the same day as second time round. all heats so far have had 4 bands which is generally your usual amount for an assembly rooms gig, so value for money shouldn't really come into it. also, as you didn't attend last night can you really comment on if it was worth it from an audience point of view? lets burn barney were worth the entrance fee alone. their set was rather excellent. anyway, next week will hopefully be a full lineup, and even if it isn't driven like the snow are playing so come along anyway and stop whining!

    Tamworth Battle of the Bands is now a joke ... More bands dropped out, and bands that had dropped out of previous heats to play the latest one, dropped out again, the organisers had to beg for replacements at the last minute, and they got one, so what was meant to be a 5 band night ended up as a 4, luckily not a 3 band heat ... Either the organisers have to start charging the bands £50 in advance to play, or start giving ticket holders their money back ............. As for the music, Let's Burn Barney won, Trommel Machine were runners up, and Second Time Round saved the organisers ass.

    Juni 2010

  • Ed-Nigma

    Rapidly running out of bands ... Heat 3 now is ... 8pm - Placid Groove. 8.30pm - Second Time Round. 9pm - Trommelmachine. 9.30pm - Lets Burn Barney. 10pm - Rote Giester. instead of ... Aethereal, Ennui, Placid Groove, Lets Burn Barney and Rote Geister ... Placid Groove were meant to be in heat 2 along with Arcane Rage. What's that now, 4 out, 2 switched and a name change =D

    Juni 2010

  • Ed-Nigma

    I wish the bands that pull out would give a reason, even if it's just 'the drummer's on holiday that day', but when they pull out without a word I lose all respect for them, and I can't be bothered to watch them if they play anywhere else, because quite frankly you don't know if they're going to turn up there either. But in typical fashion they'll form a new band in 6 months time and it'll start all over again, but hey, I expect 1 or 2 more to get cold feet before it's all over =D

    Juni 2010

  • JaseJ

    I'm seriously thinking of updating all of the heat line-ups with "your guess is as good as anyone's..." with all the late changes. It doesn't do much for encouraging people to attend either.

    Juni 2010

  • Ed-Nigma

    Well that's my maths for you . The Hot Rockets were a 4 piece (lately), but 2 members left, so that's 50% out, but only 1 new member joined, so is that 33.3 % new? =D Anyway, Ennui have pulled out of heat 3, they're dropping like flys this year, so far that's 3 pulled out and 1 name change =)

    Juni 2010

  • seanbradley1986

    I thought there were 3 members in Hot Rockets? Surely a 50% line up change would involve a hack saw and a lot of towels?

    Juni 2010

  • Ed-Nigma

    The Hot Rockets changed their name to Ex-Presidents after a 50% line up change, but still won, Show Stoppa was the other band that went through.

    Good gig at Revolver, diverse too =]

    Hmmm, doubt it'll make much difference to my band, with my massive 600(ish) plays haha haha haha ... I don't think anyone clicked direct anyway, it was all through the radio stations. I'm waiting for my first royalty check, however I might be dead quite some time before I earn enough =D But as an exercise to see how many plays you can get without pimping the artist, I think it's quit successful =)
