MySpace Music. Live and Kicking
I am writing today in praise of MySpace music. We all know, as we sit in front of our screens, that there is a vast amount of music here. Some good, and some not so good. But all are worthy of praise
for the pleasure they bring through our speakers.
However that being said. Apart from the obvious exceptions ie The Arctic Monkeys & Lilly Allen not many of these musicians will ever get
to be heard by the general public. And this why I write.
Music NEEDS to be heard LIVE.
This where AMO Music come in. Simon Matthews & Anna Parry (of the Bath/Bristol band Fabric ) have realised that the wealth of talent out there needs a voice, and somewhere to ply their trade. So along with a few friends, they organise a Friday night of "Live" music at The Invention Studios in Bath.
Unfortunately as it's on a Friday, and in rather an obscure location, you out there in cyber land haven't found it yet, or perhaps you're out clubbing. Which is rather a shame after all the effort Simon and Anna put into promotion and publicity.
True, the Venue is inconspicuous and easy to miss. Being in an old church hall. But once you're inside the vibe & the acoustics are superb. And the music (most) is of outstanding quality.
You'll find artist there, like Stanton Deloplane, & Helen Sadler. with their clever use of the loop box and unusual instruments. The wonderful Alexander Thomas with his Theramin. Singer songwriters like Little Girl Blues, Rob Phillips, & Ryan Inglis. Along with bands like the a fore mentioned Fabric, The Girls, The John E Vistic Experience and the mighty 25 men. (Who's performance the other night was worthy of a much bigger audience) This list could go on and on.
So ladies and gentlemen. Wherever you are in the world. Instead of just listening to the music before you go out to the pub or club listening to euro pop. Go and see these bands.
And remember if they're not supported live, they may even remove their cyber link to you.
They've worked hard for your pleasure.
They need to be SEEN. Thank You.
