444 Club presents Allergic DJ’s (Spain) + All Your Peers + The Vehicles +
The Dead Fish
Eerrrr….This really could say anything as I don’t speak Spainsh!!! (Editor)
Allergic Djs es el nombre de un duo valenciano declarado fan incondicional del espiritu C86. Todo empieza hace unos 4 años, de casualidad, gracias a la atracción que sienten por la música independiente de los 90, pero no es hasta julio de 2007 cuando deciden ponerse detras de una cabina. A esto hay que sumarle, las ganas insaciables que tienen ambos por descubrir nuevos sonidos, traspasando fronteras y avanzando un pelin en el tiempo, mirando de reojo pero sin hacer ningun asco al hype del momento. Sus sesiones se basan en el pop, indie y rock más actual fusionados con la música electrónica y con grandes temas 80s y 90s.
En definitiva, simplemente tratan de hacer disfrutar al máximo compartiendo la música que les hace disfrutar a ellos.
Venue: The Rainbow, Digbeth
Time: 8pm
Cost: £4

Platform promotions presents Imogens Kiss + The Maker Band + Call this a Comeback + Bassic
Imogens Kiss:
"I didn't think it was one of my best when I first wrote it," recalls singer/songwriter/guitarist Adam Wilson. "But when we play it, it's the song that people comment on the most. I guess we were made to pick it as our first single."
Viva La Diva is the first Digital Download single from Imogen's Kiss. Filled with their trademark songwriting hooks and harmonies, Viva La Diva is a tale of love, loss and being there for the girl... even if she did leave you. "It's about a girl I know. There are some references to real life hidden in the lyrics, so hopefully she won't realise it's about her. But the aspect of her and me being in a relationship is fictional. You just need that angle to make the song and the lyrics come full circle." explains Adam "And the la, la, la, la's are for everyone to sing along to." he adds with a smile.
Viva La Diva is avaiable to download now from iTunes and HMV Downloads.
Imogen's Kiss are Adam Wilson, Paul Dawson, Dave Harris and Kev Thompson. Formed early in 2006, they have concentrated mainly on playing in their local area of Tamworth and Birmingham in a bid to drum up a local fan base, before beginning to spread the word of Imogen's Kiss further.
In 2007 they began working with M.A.S Records who they would record Viva La Diva with. "We're lucky in that we don't have to pay for things like studio time, M.A.S provide us with that as well as any promotional material. These kind of things are costly and not all bands have the finances to do it. Especially when there are very few gigs that pay or bands are relying on ticket sales, of which they'll only get a percentage. We get on well with the people from M.A.S. They're a great bunch of people." Adam construes.
This is where Imogen's Kiss are today. Keep your eyes and ears open for them.
The Maker Band
The Maker Band is a new one-man-band creation described as ‘portable rock n roll’.
Frontman Jonny Amos has already tasted success in the music industry following the charting triumph of his Australian underground no.9 hit ‘Sarah Jane’ and now the multi-instrumentalist launches his unique blend of rock, beat-box and hooks to the world. He Says “The Maker Band concept is simple. You don’t need to form a band when you can make one. There’s two art forms in music, the art of recording and the art of performing. I have fused the two by creating a multi phrase live looping set up to my live act allowing me to play everything in the band, record it and perform it in front of people’s eyes.”
Amos has sessioned for big label artists alongside being a well respected jingle writer for such commercial radio stations as Galaxy FM and Kiss FM before spending 3 years in the much hyped UK rock group, Red Star Rebels. Having toured with numerous big name bands, worked with numerous top name producers and built up a huge nationwide fan base “The Rebels” were dubbed “The hardest working band in the business” by Industry insider Paul Bay. Having built up a media frenzy with numerous celebrity fans and being awarded with ‘Best Rock Act’ at the 2007 Indy Awards, Jonny left the band to concentrate wholly on the project that had been “rattling around in my head for years”, the hotly anticipated Maker Band. “I don’t do name dropping or bullshit talk. I leave that for those who aren’t happy with what they actually have in life” quipped the outspoken singer in a 2008 interview with Timeout magazine.
“I’ve written hooks, jingles and soundtracks in the past but now its time to put something truly original out there. This industry is changing hugely and the artist is back in control. Trust me when I tell your readers that I’m at the forefront of something that’s never been done before in modern music. I don’t need a band and I don’t need a label. Watch what happens.”
The Maker Band look set to release debut album ‘Based on True Stories’ in 2009.
Call this a Comeback:
Call This A Comeback are an independent four piece pop punk outfit from Staffordshire. They formed in May 2008 and are the product of ex members of punk rock band Vigilante, pop punk band Lost ‘N’ Found and solo guitarist/singer/songwriter Seth Row. Their sound reflects a combination of influential bands, such as Blink 182, Allister, Screeching Weasel and MXPX to name a few.
"Call This a Comeback are a fresh breath of air in the UK scene! I especially enjoyed "Mend My Heart", great Bowling for Soup-esque riff! These guys are on to great things." - MC Lars
"I quite like your songs! They remind me of the good ol' days of Blink-182 pop-punk glory. Keep up the good work!" - Matt (Wheatus)
