I’d love to collaborate with some people
Live performance really isn’t my forte, so recording would be sweet.
A free compilation from birmingham artists would be awesome

I agree about the free compilation.
I’m happy to organise that as an online giveaway and promote it through the site. Any Birmingham artist that wants to submit a track to the free Brum Music Month compilation, please upload a track to my Soundcloud Dropbox: http://soundcloud.com/dubber/dropbox – no mp3s – full lossless audio only please – WAV files or AIFFs.

I’ve already stuck a couple of tracks from my soon-to-be-released debut (steaming on my muxtape) in your dropbox for consideration for the audio book, which I’d be more than happy to stick on a compilation.
There’s another which might be a better choice, but I don’t want to overload you…

Would be happy to provide the venue and any help I can with organising

to Kate Manion, what venue do you have, would u recomend? Lookin to put a hardcore/punk gig on end of the month as part of the event. Reshuffle of venue leaves choice pretty open rele?

have also submitted a track, other end of spectrum, more hardcore/punk. will spread the word amongst said community at gigs etc, try to get that scene representing.

Oh wait – wow… I really like Jez’s idea: contemporary Birmingham artists releasing cover versions of classic Birmingham artists. Friends of the Stars are doing Duran Duran’s Rio… etc.
James Welch 8:49 pm on May 21, 2009 Permalink |
that’s a GREAT idea. (I might need a list of possible artists though….)
josh 8:51 pm on May 21, 2009 Permalink |
possible seperate post for ideas on the covers front?
dubber 9:06 pm on May 21, 2009 Permalink
Done. There’s a call for cover version suggestions.

We have volunteers from @aquilatv who’ll make a logo tomorrow and get this branding thing going
dubber 9:04 pm on May 21, 2009 Permalink |
That’s fantastic news. Unbelievable how quickly things like this come together in this town.

yeah @exsanguinator has been doing design research and catching up on things as this all started before he was home

We’re now looking for suggestions for Brum music for our special Big Paws show. http://thebigpaws.co.uk/2009/05/brum-music-month-special/

I’ll busk, play, review, write, anything really!

Fused put together a CD that we took to SXSW – not all Brum bands but the majority were. We still have quite a few so they could potentially be used for Promo’s?
Kerryfused 4:12 pm on May 22, 2009 Permalink |
And we have done loads of interviews with Birmingham bands in the past – maybe we could dig those out as some kind of archive?
jez collins 7:05 pm on May 22, 2009 Permalink |
Great on both counts Kerry, this is a let’s just do it and let’s see what comes out of it. All suggestions, offers, actions are great people just do whatever you want and tag it Brum Music Month
