THE GREAT TAPE CAMPAIGN!

Baz · 3rd May 2002, 06:17 PM

OK, here`s the story- Starting this weekend we (we`ll mainly only me!) are going to be pounding the streets giving out our 4 track demo on cassette tapes to anyone who looks interesting.
WHY?!?!? you may ask. Well, no one has really done it b4 and i for one dont mind one bit giving out freebies. I just want ppl to know who we are, spread the word a bit. If ppl hear our stuff and like it theres more chance of them coming to a show than if they had just seen a poster and a brief description. So i thought, fuck it, im gonna do it just to see what happens. Web address is included along with a track listing so ppl can surf on and leave any comments they wish, even if they hate it. I`d much rather pay out a little cash and have a full show than be a lazy bastard and just expect ppl to turn up. it may fail gloriously but at least we tried it. So if your on here as a result of getting a tape flung at you, fire away! be as mean as u want, or as nice as u want. and either way, come see us if we`re in your town, even if its just to throw stuff at us.

Street pounding agenda for this weekend 4/5th May:
Saturday- Dundee
Sunday- Glasgow
