Rock-clubs in the UK? (other countries are of interest as well)

[blackparkas]

My band Trail of Murder with singer Urban Breed (it´s actually his real name, it´s just not pronounced the same as it looks in english...) (ex. Tad Morose/Ex. Bloodbound) and drummer Pelle Åkerlind (Morgana Lefay) and Danne Olsson (ex. Tad Morose), don´t know if you know these bands, they where touring Europe and the states a while ago, Bloodbound still are.. but anyway.

We´re looking for gigs in may/june, preferably in the UK but we might be able to do something somewhere else as well, trying to put up a small tour.


Anyone got any info on where to turn in the UK where Metal is welcomed and who has live bands or maybe a festival in may/june?

How is the rock/metalscene in London nowadays?

If you have a club nearby in another part of Europe (or rest of the world), I´d be thrilled if you would like to share it and maybe a contact.

We´re going to Sofia/Bulgaria in May so gigs along the way down there would be superb as well so if you have any tips for venues/clubs in Europe...

Link to our album on Spotify:

The albumreviews has been superb all over.

Cheers!

They might get you on a multiband lineup or at the smaller 'daughter' venue next door;

There's The Slade Rooms in Wolverhampton, The Robin 2 in Bilston and Kerrang Radio put unsigned bands on as Birmingham's O2 Academy.
I think these are run by promoters .......... worth a Google!

Corporation in Sheffield
Cockpit in Leeds
Krazy House in Liverpool
Manchester Academy often put on heavier gigs

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Borderline? (Charing x road)

[LiamPodmore]

The Cavern in Liverpool, Dry Bar in Manchester (Contact Alex McCann at Designer Magazine), or if you want to go absolutely tiny, The Alma Inn in Bolton.

+1 for the Robin in Bilston; gigs almost 7 nights a week, mostly rock & blues based. Great venue for crowds, I've never seen any trouble there & it's on the edge of the Black Country/B'ham based HM fans. Changing room could be better, but there are many worse.

The Masons in Llanelli, South Wales is a cracking little rock/metal venue.. Not that big, but always a crowd! PM me if you want contact details, its also my local hahaa!!

Cheers guys!
I´ll contact the places that seems fit for our little metalband from the heart of Sweden..

Keep 'em coming!


Is metal dead in London?


We´re not unsigned, and most of the members has been around for decades touring Europe and the US.
This band is new though, so until the next album, we´re trying to do as much as we can ourselves.

I was going to say that place, I played there last November.
It was a good gig, but somebody had been sick in the staff toilets before we got there so all I could smell was vomit while we played

For London try The Unicorn or The Fighting Cocks in Kingston

[clauster]

Current NME Small Venue of the Year, The Forum in Tunbridge Wells are having a busy time of late with metal bands.
