BigRedX Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 We're playing at [url="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=the+golden+fleece+nottingham&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=the+golden+fleece&hnear=Nottingham&cid=17949123215915489994"]The Golden Fleece[/url] on Mansfield Road in Nottingham on Sunday 13th March. Full line-up is: Dick Venom & The Terrortones Nils Olav Timothy J Simpson + one other act (TBC) We'll be headlining meaning we'll be on just after 10.00pm Free badges and other goodies for any BassChatter who's there and introduces themselves to the band!

BigRedX Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Just a reminder for anyone interested that this gig is on tonight. Edited March 13, 2011 by BigRedX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hey BigRedX, do you guys ever get down to London for gigs as I'd like to see your lot (and I'm sure there are other BC'ers who would be interested too)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks! We're just starting to think about getting some gigs in London (the band's been going less than a year) - Anywhere you'd recommend we approach? Alternatively do Rattlin' Bone fancy a gig swap? We can only offer somewhere in Nottingham and since there's a lot of you it might not really be very cost effective for you - but the offer's there. Sorry I couldn't make it to your gig on Friday - got given a shed-load of work to do over the weekend (one of the perils of being self-employed you can't really say no). Let me know when your next one is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to share a bill in London though. There's obviously a ton of venues (12 Bar would suit you; small venue but great vibe and alternative-y evenings on Fridays/Saturdays; plus all the Camden usuals, eg Purple Turtle, Underworld, Barfly etc). I would however recommend you contact specialist promoters like Stranger Than Paradise [url="http://www.strangerthanparadise.net/contact.html"]http://www.strangerthanparadise.net/contact.html[/url] (who arranged our Halloween gig and are promoting our gig in Brixton next month; don't know if there's a spare slot for that gig???) or Bonny & Clyde's Renegade Rendezvous [url="http://www.myspace.com/bonnieandclydenites"]http://www.myspace.com/bonnieandclydenites[/url] (who do Fridays at the 12 Bar).

BigRedX Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Wow thanks! Off to set up and sound check now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hope it went well. I'd be up for shared London gigs too. Rattlin Bone + Dick Venom & the Terrortones + the Jetsonics would be a top night out I reckon. If you're all up for it and if I have a date to work to I'll try and arrange something. In my experience most promoters are just venue bookers and I can do that. I have a few venues and contacts in mind that would be good.

Happy Jack Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 That line-up appearing at The Half Moon in Putney is something I'd pay good money to see. Except that I'd expect to be on [b][i]someone's [/i][/b]guest list, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did it more for exposure and as a warm-up ahead of the much bigger gig next month (500+ people) in Brixton But yeah sounds like a brilliant idea, let us know when you have a venue/date in mind.

It would need to be a bit in advanced as our drummer plays in two other bands and so his short-notice availability isn't too good. And yes that would be a top night out! Isn't BassChat great!
