  • When an album leaks online before it arrives in stores
  • Birmingham based Death Punk. Like a demonic Black Bloc storming the stock exchange with baseball bats, this album belts out of the speakers and storms around the room taking no prisoners
  • An interesting site to find out more about underground bands. it's more a discography site but useful if you want more information about a band.

  • Jay Reatard : Since the release of the debut album from his first band, The Reatards, back when he was only seventeen, Jay (from Memphis, Tennessee) has redefined the word prolific by clocking up fifteen further album releases with various bands as well as one solo album, the mind-blowing ‘Blood Visions’ (In The Red, 2006). In spite of the long string of dead punk band carcasses, people are only starting to notice Jay’s insane talent. Hot shit in his homeland, expectation for his forthcoming European tour is close to fever pitch and he’s recently just signed a long-term deal with Matador Records who released six 7” singles in quick succession through the summer of 2008 and for those not hung up on collecting, a compilation release of them followed later in the year.

  • Burn fm is holding a BOTB with a few other societies (Rock Society, Band Society) and Vale Fest, a charity festival entirely run by students. Any profits from the £5 ticket price will go towards the Vale Festival charities.

  • Magick Temple. You may know him from Dogfood, The Old Railway, Discordian Promotions. He has a page on Last.fm and a radio show on www.musicworldradio.com

The Music Network, 4pm Thursday 26th February, Birmingham TIC, Millennium Point. Join a real conversation

The Music Network organises a NETWORKING EVENT on the last Thursday of each month, 4-6pm

The Music Network meeting is open to all on Thursday 26th February 2009 4pm til 6pm

at Technology and Innovation Centre(TIC), Millennium Point, Curzon Street, Birmingham, B4 7XG.

Come and talk about music and what you’re up to and meet some new people. Here’s a video from last month.


The Music Network organises the meeting for the benefit of music related businesses in the West Midlands region.

If you are a musician, work with musicians, represent musicians, have involvement with the music industry, or are looking to make new contacts the meeting will be useful to you.

If you have news to report, a presentation to give, an event to promote, any new points for discussion, a pitch to make, business cards or flyers to hand round, an appeal for help, advice or guidance or even if you just want the free tea and biscuits and some quality entertainment…you are all invited.

You can also post in by email any news or gig dates or press release information for inclusion on the website and for distribution through the mailing list and RSS feed. More details on the website.

There will be luxury chocolate biscuits and good coffee for all. There’s food and drink afterwards supplied by the creative networks too. Please pass this invite on to Musicians you know or anyone else who you think may benefit.

Jokers or time wasters who play on the internet all day and don’t actually do anything else other than talk about what cake they’re eating or how they are so successful and amazing all the time or whatever need not apply. Go and play on twitter.
