Hey guys! Some new news for you kicking off with the big show that IRIS have got supporting Deaf Havana on 17th August at The Quarterhouse in Folkestone. You really need to be at the show. It’s a big deal for the guys and a fantastic opportunity. If you haven’t seen IRIS live yet then you’re going to be in for a treat. All the details for the show are on the poster below;
In other show news, No Tide are continuing their merry way around the US and will be at Post 282 in Harrison, New Jersey this evening. A great band called Traditions will be joining them on this date so make sure you head to the show if you can.
Now for some other awesome news. The new charity single by the Local Aid international collective of artists, musicians and producers has now arrived! The cover of choice this time is the David Cook version of ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me) originally recorded by Simple Minds. If you don’t happen to know the song just watch the movie The Breakfast Club as it was the theme song and a major hit in the 80’s. The World Concave ‘All Stars’ also featuring Sam Badami from Portrait Studios over in the US and Craig from our good friends Hidden Cabins all feature on this track.
The track has been put together to try and help raise money for MacMillan Cancer Trust who help victims of Cancer and their families. It’s a great cause so we want to see everyone downloading the track and donating something (it doesn’t have to be a lot of money) to MacMillan. The track is available to download from Bandcamp at this link https://localaid2012.bandcamp.com/track/dont-you-forget-about-me-local-aid-charity-single-for-macmillan and there is a link to the ‘Donate’ page for MacMillan on the track page. Let’s spread the musical love and see if we can raise lots of money!
That’s all the news for now folks. We’ll be back with more awesome news very soon. Cheers!
