Re: decent unsigned bands

Depends what your bag (of music) is -
But you could try -

http://www.simonbookish.com
http://www.fidelvilleneuve.cjb.net
http://www.patrickwolf.com

And how could I mention unsigned bands without shamelessly plugging my own?

Re: decent unsigned bands

we're from the wild west midlands. but the $hit roadshow regularly hits the southern shores - we are playing london on saturday, winchester 31st and brighton next month. dates on website if u wanna come along. hopefully we wont be unsigned for too much longer though ;)

Re: decent unsigned bands

so what sort of music would you say these bands might fit into? (although im totally anti-labelling and anti-genre) and who would you compare them to?

Re: decent unsigned bands

Simon Bookish is truly incredible. If you get the chance you should run to see him. But perhaps don't stand at the front...

Re: decent unsigned bands

yeah standing at the front of a bookish gig could result is a swift kick in the chest from simon if things get rowdy - i interviewed him about it for my webzine which is - http://www.brainlove.cjb.net - for those who are interested... ;)

Re: decent unsigned bands

bookish is kinda minimal, sparse, posh electro stuff
wolf is a mixture of quiet, beautiful folky ballads and full on euro-glitch breakbeat
villeneuve is an ex-digital hardcore alternapop genius
muscle bastard is rough rasping 4-track noisepop
the $hit is glitchglam electro-punkbeat fuckrock

enough made up genres? :)

Re: decent unsigned bands

hello, i'm also from Southampton and know a few bands who are unsigned and worth seeing, like:

dead! dead! dead!
turncoat
bonemachine
brenda
blind summit
pellumair
alaskan pipeline

and a host of others...apparently Winchester has a blossoming electro scene or something too... i s'pose if you know where to look...

When? - I've listened to three of their tracks and they sounded looooovely!

Re: decent unsigned bands

I'm sure I read it somewhere on here - how they were spotted by someone from DIS and they asked them to play in the New Year

Re: decent unsigned bands

I Like Trains will be playing the Drowned In Sound Brave New Ideas night at 93 Feet East, London on Thursday, Januuary 13th. We reckon you might want to check them out.

There we go SCL.

If I get down (get on the good foot) for it then I'll give you that signed picture ;)

Get on the Eurostar! Would probably be quite an expensive night out mind.....

Yeah, and i'd have to leave my 2-years old daughter and my pregnant wife !
Sorry, just have to wait to see them signed, big and playing in Paris !
Just a dream perhaps.

Re: decent unsigned bands

you still about Sugar Bum?

Having looked at your profile, you might like fellow Southamptonites called Fleeing New York...
http://www.fleeingnewyork.com/

they're playing a Southscene gig next month with the aforementioned Dead! Dead! Dead! which should be exciting.

Re: decent unsigned bands

Fleeingnewyork are awesome. Heard them on Radio 1 ONE MUSIC last night...Dead!Dead!Dead are great too so it should be a brilliant night..anyone got any more details of the Southscene gig?

Re: decent unsigned bands

i've heard on the grapevine that in Southampton the best place to catch whats going on in terms of amazing bands is at an Ejector Seat night. could be wrong though.

turncoat
zelega
moly
a world asleep
bearsuit
redjetson
