booooooo hisssssssss *throws rotten vegatables in direction of thread-maker. etc... Good on you Euan for highlighting that in actual fact unless you make yourself worthy to be written about (i.e joe blogs (representing a portion of the readership outside of spoken about region) picks up the fly and thinks "ahh *insert band name* are good I wonder what they've been up to...reads on)...then unless you "put the effort in" and contact journalists/promoters/anyone you think might care...then you ain't getting no-where mate. Playing Tunnels to 20 people every 2nd friday is not going to get you noticed, no matter how good your mum/girlfriend says you are. So yeah instead of being "Mr I win on the internet...rofl" just suibmit demo's/invite to gigs etc or otherwise NO EXPOSURE FOR YOU. It really is that simple. I think what euan is proposing is s good thing. If I wasn't so cynical about the future of the written press I would be doing the same thing. Oh and see you in september Euan.
