a whole host of bands already booked with more to follow.
B-Movie Heroes, The Melt, Crypsis, Stranded,

a bit of a write up on the rather fabulous thisisull.com,

CockYerLeg update
27 Nov 05: Cockyerleg, who have been
worryingly absent from the scene for the past few months are
in the middle of some major changes, not least deciding on
a new name (all suggestions welcome). Guitarist Rory McKane
has parted company with the band and they are desperately
searching for a replacement to get straight back into gigging
as much as possible and songwriting. I'm aware that this sort
of thing usually goes on the "Wanted" pages, but
as a number of people have asked about CYL, we thought that
it was pretty news-worthy. For the full ad with details of
what the band are looking for see Wanted

Wanna sell your band’s sound but don’t know

of your band in more than 15 words, then us and labels are

offering the deal of a lifetime by slashing the cost of bio
writing by about 90%! After writing, and if you are happy
with it, the copyright and content is all yours. You can cut
and paste around your website, your news bulletins and your

Electric PR News
12 Nov 05: My clients are always looking
for new bands to get into (and hopefully sign).
At the moment the scene is changing and 2 of
my clients have tasked me with something which is very particular.
Read on for more info:
Electric PR says:
Rockstars Sought
Thin Lizzy, The Darkness, Led Zeppelin, Queen,
Europe, Motörhead, Scorpions, Extreme, Black Sabbath,
Guns ‘n’ Roses, Motley Crüe, Foreigner, Hanoi
Rocks, and the list goes on. What do these guys have in
common? Well, as well as being awesome (and in some cases
cheesy) musicians, they have incredible frontmen. From Mercury
to Hawkins, from Kilminster to Osbourne, these guys own the
stage. Do you? Right now, we’re looking for bands and
especially frontmen that keep the lineage of great performance.
Newsflash: Good honest rock is coming back in
a big way and if you want a taste of the future, be a part
of it.
Do you think you have something, whatever it
is, from snakeskin pants to kickass vocals (no growlers please)
then we wanna hear from you! Send us your MP3 (links only
please) to us at Electric PR. rockstar@electric-pr.co.uk
Bullet For My Funeral For A Chemical Hawthorne
Hidden By Avenged Infadels In Sunny Day Dashboard Romance
Yes folks, you know what we’re talking
about: Very attractive teens and twenty-somethings struck
down by a love lost. Never fear! Electric
PR is doing a bit of a rummage for the last traces of
emo/post-hardcore harmonic rock. Do you feel categorised after
breaking up with a girl? We wanna hear from you. Do you feel
pigeon-holed for being broken-hearted? Are you desperate to
hold up a drugstore but only ever seem to do it in your mind?
If your flavour of rock is slightly seasoned with bands like
Shortie, BFMV, MCR, FFAF, Hawthorne Heights, Hidden in Plain
View and the rest then send us an MP3 link and very important,
a supporting biog/pics because we wanna mend your heart. brokenhearts@electric-pr.co.uk

Requests For Help
11 Nov 05: We've had a couple of requests
for help this week which we thought we pass on to you in the
hope that you may be able to help.
We're trying to locate Andy Dransfield for somebody
who is trying to contact him. Andy works/used to work at Chappell
- Studios. If anyone knows any contact details can you email
them in. Cheers
The following came from Aj Lornie of The Hitchcock
Rules
I am working for a Cornish band called The
Hitchcock Rules. In June 2005 the group independently released
their debut album issue #1 and have sold nearly a thousand
copies through independent outlets in the southwest. From
November the band will embark on a U.K. tour in aid to promote
their album on a national scale.
We have purposefully avoided the help of record
companies and instead are trying to set up and independent
network of artists, music outlets and local media. We are
looking for local bands in a similar situation to us to join
us on tour in each area, independent record shops and local
media coverage. Hopefully with the help of a few people in
each area, (like yourselves) we will be able to set up a productive
music community, with the ability to compete with the major
record companies.
Contact: info@thehitchcockrules.co.uk

Eight Days A Week Festival - Changes?
01 Nov 05: There's been a number of rumours
flying round that there have been some line up changes to
the Eight Days A Week festival starting this Friday (4th)
at Bivouac.
We haven't been able to confirm, but it does appear that No
Comply have pulled out. Also added to the bill this Friday
is local outfit Sosumi.
This will be their first gig actually in Lincoln and judging
by the favourable comments about their downloads available
on this site, it should be well worth going to check them
out. Also on the bill are Pele, Sons
Of The South and ColorPool.
The festival is really good value for money (especially if
tyou get the All Eight Days pass - all those bands for £20).
