stepmaster5000 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 To everyone in a local band, or every singer/songwriter please feel free to send your demo’s / ep’s to Aberdeen Student Radio.There is a wide range of shows specialising in anything from folk (Scotch broth), to hip-hop(the urban show, world wide), to metal(ASROCKS, make mine a double), to Scottish Indie (make mine a double, death from exposure) as well as lots of generalist shows, one of the DJ’s at the station is sure to like what your doing and play your songs. This would be really great for the station to help build up is play lists and a good chance for local bands to get exposure with a large student audience. Sends your demo’s to…Aberdeen Student RadioThe HubEliphinstone RoadAberdeenAB24 3TUIf you know which show is best suited for you put it in the first line of the address.Thanks on behalf of Aberdeen Student Radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Storm Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 just out of interest...is there any way of knowing how many listeners you are getting for each show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diarmaid Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yeah, it keeps record of listeners the entire time so its easy enough to find out listeners for particular shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepmaster5000 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 to be totally honest the student audience isn't really as 'large' as I implied. These days with sites like myspace and youtube its very hard to convince anyone to listen to the radio, but hopefully numbers will increase, and if the station gets lots of music by local bands then hopefully it can generate some more interest.

KarmaTsunami Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 There are three of us, I play mostly folk/indie/pop stuff, Bryn plays whatever is in his car but he's into electronic music from past and present as well as the odd soundgarden and pavement track. Jen contributes the odd gem (some jolie holland, coco rosie) but is mostly there as our producer. Past playlists have included...Lift to Experience, Jurassic 5, Kraftwerk, Feist, Bat for Lashes, Sleater-Kinney, Kylie Minogue and Jamie Lidell, so a wide mix within reason. Recently I've been playing Animal collective, the tallest man on earth, dodos and ghost bees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Do local gig listings get read out at all? Is it worth promoters sending in stuff / can you advise most appropriate person?ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'v read out listings for a couple of the imp gigs on the show when i've played bands that are playing like caribou and would be happy to do more.The music co-ordinators at the station are the best folk to get in touch with as it's our job to distribute stuff to the most suitable DJs etc...deal with promos etc..We don't have a specific e-mail address yet but if you get in touch I can let you know our seperate addresses (there are 4 of us) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
