and quite a lot of others that I can't recall because my boss might walk by any moment, haha. But I'm perfectly fine with paying for a gig, we shouldn't just expect free ones all the time.
the reason im asking this is because we are organizing a few gigs in the near future, and we want to have a mixture of new and seasoned bands at our gigs.
Hence, we want to know which local bands, people would want to see.
Cause, almost all or in fact all signed bands under BEM or WMUM or Kitty Wu etc or even Gegey Music., they are all good. So you could check them out at their webbie. And we know if people will come to see them. Bands/Artistes such as FireFight , AVA , WGB , For Better Endings , For This Cycle //and more.
What we need to hear is, which local bands/artistes that are good, but is not signed. Thats what we wanna know
And Oh, bands such as Waiting For Nothing and Quick Quick Danger are managed under The Bastard Movement (Guirella Suite) . They are good! Check them.
If theres other contribution(s), do link them to their Myspace or sites.
faceoff,autumn atlantic,summers over,audiocean,baricade,oligarchy,juxtapose,heregoesnoth!ng,waiting for nothing, fast forward to friday, west grand boulevard , saw loser , for this cycle, quick2 danger,
The point Biopromax raises has its validity. All those signed major bands are doing great; people know them, they are popular and they played really big venues before. They are even paid for shows.
Now suppose you are organizing a gig, where are you planning to hold them?? Is the venue gonna be like Esplanade Waterfront or somewhere of similar size?? I am not sure of regulations governing unsigned bands, but do you have the capital to signed major bands?? From what I know, you need to contact the band's agent or manager to engage the band's service if you want them to perform and it certainly don't come free.
These are, perhaps, some factors to consider before you intend to hold gig which employs really popular(huge) acts.
guys the fella was asking which local bands you wanna see.
signed ? major ? in singapore ? all these are local indie labels.
at the most they have is distribution by the majors. jezz.
