To me there are two two of people: those who do and those who don't. The Rise to me are a group of people that do. From where I stand they have achieved a lot (more than most bands in Dundee) and are continuing to do so. Gigs in London(and I dont mean the GBOB), Manchester et al don't come easy and are normally poped into the too hard box for most people. They have played in the London Garage, which to me is exceptional. There are a couple of gigs like this in the pipeline too. Alan McGee has invited the guys to play for him as well. Not every band can make it but these guys are giving it a really good go.
As for the management quotes. Who are you to cast dispersions on how I do business. The press we had was real and if you want copies you can just ask. I see no need to sugar coat things, to me the truth is always the best policy. The press release was put together because we had done lots of interviews and as such people were going to question us on this issue.
If you have any other comments about the management of the rise please feel free to contact me directly to discuss however I will not conduct a conversation on this forum.
Now Clogs on to you what have you achieved? What put you in a position to question other peoples achievements. As you say you are putting yourself on here for discussion. Are you someody that does or doesn't.

There's a difference. I didnt put my band up for discussion, so I wont start. I do admire your professional response though, so well done.
Getting gigs in London/Manchester isn't exactly the hardest thing to do though... Almost on a daily basis I see 'we have played TEN gigs including ONE IN LONDON!" - what difference does it make?
