Yo dudes, we really love Birmingham and what it has to offer for music.
We’re an independent band and have a great story (ASBOs, arrests, fines, gear confiscations etc), an interesting sound and an original style even if we do say so ourselves.
Our album ‘City of Patience’ is
available for streaming on Spotify etc, and can also be heard by
following this link:

We’d love for you to check us out and let us know what you think, you can find out
more about us at http://www.weareshoshin.com

Hi guys!
I’m a local songwriter and I’m looking for a producer to collaborate with to form a killer dance act.
In 2009 I was singer/songwriter for midlands club act “Bassland” and with my material we reached no.2 in the myspace club chart! I’m now looking to take this project to the next level and am looking for a producer to work directly with on this project.
If interested please check out samples at http://www.soundcloud.com/davehutchinson and drop me a message if interested!
Thanks
Dave

Hello all,
I am studying 3rd year Music Composition in Coventry University, and we need to put on an event. In order for us to do this, I and my associate need funding. The venue is asking around £300 and for our viva we need to write up about applying for money. Here’s the question…
Does anyone know of anywhere to apply for a grant/fund for an independent art event within Birmingham? This event needs to be done and dusted within the first two weeks of May 2012…
Please contact me if anyone knows of any leads, thanks,
Wiggy

“ELECTRO NUDE” is the new live show by THE IRREPRESSIBLES; it is an electronic re-imagining of their previous distinctive performances. McDermott’s vocals are set to epic electro soundscapes, accompanied live by The Irrepressibles’ drumming duo IAN TRIPP and JAMES FIELD on electronic kits, and their pianist SARAH KERSHAW on synths and live tubular bells. It is a display that features powerful choreography, bold new costumes, a runway-lit catwalk and sound activated lights with iconic mirror ball effects. Music performed consists of beat-heavy new tracks from The Irrepressibles’ forthcoming album “NUDE” including “Arrow”, and yet to be released singles “ New World ”, and “Tears of a Clown”. There will also be live performances of remixes of tracks by from MIRROR MIRROR and new tracks by other electronic music artists featuring McDermott’s vocals set for release this year. More details of these to be announced. The group will also perform electro-choral numbers “Spy Super Hero” and “FINALE” from their opera with Hotel Pro Forma “WAR SUM UP”.
We are very excited to announce support from Berlin based band…
