    Hot Mangu have made it through to the Emergenza UK Finals

    after their gig at the Carling Academy in Glasgow last night..

    we're all quite chuffed with that

    17 bands played - big up to all of them! :up:

    The UK final Hot Mangu are playing will be..

    Sunday July 23rd @ The Mean Fiddler, London (formerly LA2)

    there's a small chance we might be able to run a bus of people down

    so if anyones interested in that just let us know here

    we'll have some video footage and photos from the Carling Academy

    up on our website fairly soon..

    if you do a wee googley search for "Hot Mangu"

    you'll see quite a few listings for the gig we did on friday..

    (well you could last week anyways)

    so perhaps there was some promotion done for it

    personally

    we've done it two years in a row

    and done well both times

    last year we won the Aberdeen heat and we came 3rd in the Aberdeen/Dundee final

    and this year we won the only Aberdeen heat and are going straight down to the final in Glasgow (with the Little Kicks too)

    which is great (we think)

    cos it means we get a chance to put on a show in front of what will hopefully be a good crowd of people and promote ourselves, sell some stuff, hand some stuff out etc. etc.

    if you're in a band you usually want to do as many gigs as possible to get as much exposure as possible

    thats exactly what we're doing with this competition

    - in two years we've played to a packed out Kef, Fat Sams, Subway, Tunnels and soon Carling Academy.. nothing wrong with that really

    we've lost no money (or at least no more than usual)

    and its helped us sell a few cd's and get more mailing list contacts, gig contacts, band contacts

    s'all good

    :]
