Local Bands Should Be Played At Cage

SelfMadeVocals · 5th April 2005, 06:26 PM

This is Norrie from Self Made Man.

I have wondered recently why it is that no local or surrounding areas bands music gets played at cage. Probably because we don’t give ourselves enough exposure, so not many people know,plus I don’t think the dj’s have much if any of r music, apart from Self Made Man's Ep. and even then only colin has it cause Thursday is the only time it will be played, wen the numbers r low. who will dance to music they know? no one... i believe things could be different.

I have a suggestion
Currently on my pc I have the following bands Music:

Equilibrium - ep 7 track
A Written Apology - ep 4 tracks
3rd Born Sun - 3 tracks
Obscenic - 3 tracks
Soundshok - ep 6 Tracks (Arbroath)
Scud - Ep 10 Tracks (Perth)
Man Of The Hour - Album 12 tracks (Edinburgh)
Hot Mangu - 1st & 2nd Ep (Aberdeen)
Self Made Man - ep 6 Track

My Suggestion is to take one track from each band, with their permission of course (so please reply), and put it on a compilation cd and give it to all cage dj's. Then put up posters in cage informing patrons of which local and surrounding areas bands music they can hear. Hopefully this way all bands will benefit from the exposure and the local scene as a whole will expand and grow with more people coming to shows.

I have taken into consideration that some bands demo’s or songs are not of the same production quality as others, don’t worry I have the software to enhance all our music to a level that would be well acceptable to be played in cage, if the guitars bass drums or vocals or just the master volume needs boosting I can do that and enhance your sound.

I spoke to Doug on Sat night and he would be more than happy to help us and the scene out

Gav from 3rd Born Sun has said he’d like to be apart of this, I know all of Self Made Man wants to. Anyone else?

Any band who would like to become a part of this just post here or email me or self made man. Get me your demo (of a decent studio quality) and be a part of this and the expansion of the scene.

If all goes well cage will keep feeding r music to the public, with more compilation cd's who knows maybe even full ep's from each band.

The future is what we make of it.

well, you've got our demo. I think the whole band would agree to any song being used in good nature such as what you suggest.

When I say any song i mean either:

Last Temptation
Summers End
Reroute Senses

thats our most proud of type work from that cd.

It's a good idea.

I want to see more local music played at club nights!

Ryan_Equilibrium · 6th April 2005, 09:01 AM

yeah thats a great idea(Y) as marco said, i think all of us would agree on it being they 3 songs and as soon as we get all our new ones recorded we would be happy for them to get used too.

RicoAUBL · 14th April 2005, 12:01 PM

we have no problem with someone playing Hot Mangu songs when they're djing...

- i dj at the bassment in aberdeen on friday nights
and i do try and play local music..

i'm currently in the process of recording all of the demos i've ever been sent onto my pc
(which will take ages... cos i have about 60 odd cd's)
but if anyone wants to send me something then go ahead..

keep up the good work guys!
