EmmNet
30 Apr 06: EmmNet (The East Midlands Musicians Network) has relocated to the North Kesteven area. Maurice contacted me to ask that I make people "aware that the funding and project is there" and to encourage you all to get involved in a regional way. Maurice goes on to say "remember that not all of the bands/promoters/etc. need to be from the district as long as at least some of them are based there to qualify for assistance and funding." Emmnet, in the past has provided funding for a number of local/regional events, and Maurice on behalf of EmmNet has been a valuable source of information to this site. Well worth checking out their website at www.emmnet.org and getting yourself/your band registered. Contact for further details.

The
Uptown Decadence Unit Pics
23 Apr 06: Bravekid Promotions presented a fine mix of bands last nith (22 Apr) at The Duke. Again Pete was there to witness local and not so local bands giving some fine performances. Pete said of the night:
"Sometimes you go to a gig and their is a certain anxiety in the air
that you can't put your finger on. Like an expectation of trouble or
incident. And just when you had spent the evening listening to a few
bands and that sensation has faded then something unfolds that makes
you begin to realise your intuition was in fact uncannily well founded.
The cause for concern turned out to be headliners on the night 'The
Uptown Decadence Unit' from somewhere down South, Northampton, I think.
Their sweet looking boyish lead vocal had been getting pissed up to
and then during their set and what dutch courage he needed was put to
perplexing effect. He'd commented that he had a big ego and his
performance soon spiraled out of control as massive innate narcissism
and some sociopathic deeply rooted neuroses were summoned up from just
beneath the surface and boiled up in ranting lyrics and drunken
clowning. Me producing the camera, of course, was extra encouragement
and at times I decided not to take photos for a while to avoid death.
Mine or his. After one flailing fall from several feet high atop a
speaker onto his back it seemed highly unlikely he would be alive but
he was somehow was able to crawl back onto the stage and build up
momentum again. Blimey. By the last song the sound crew and promoter
had to move in to dissuade him from one last more perilous ascent. The
rest of the band somehow kept the whole thing rolling along and made it
to the end hardly batting an eyelid at the antics. So, no-one actually
got hurt or died - and against my better judgement I have to say "I
don't know what that was for sure - but that's entertainment".

Rotary Ten & The Small Print Pics
21 Apr 06: Thursday night saw Rotary Ten headlining upstairs at The Cell. Pete the photographer went along and this is what he had to say:
!Going on
stage at 10.45pm they played to an appreciative audience of about fifty
people who'd hung around after seeing the two support acts. Several
familiar faces in the audience were members of other local live acts so
it was excellent to see the level of interest and support being shown
for one of our top local indie bands. Their usual high-spirited and
energetic set was complimented with interesting new material and thanks
to a very positive audience reaction a rare encore followed to round
off a typically high quality performance.
Also online now are some photos I took last week of The Small Print who
at LN2. Having formed a year ago this is definitely a talented three
piece worth watching out for if you get the chance to see them play.
Despite a small turnout on the night they delivered their set with a
forcefulness that makes you believe they are determined to make the
most of every chance to play live that they get. Give them a listen
and you may well be converted to the cause."
Some photos from both nights are at - www.shine.clara.co.uk/gigs

The Difference Engine - New CD
01 Apr 06: Just received the full track listing for The Difference Engine's new CD A Light For The Lost, which was released 31 Jan 06. The CD is available from the Difference Engine website (www.thedifferenceenginemusic.com) and includes Abi Moore on vocals on one track. As we understand it this CD is a taster of a full length CD soundtrack to the film 'Last Exit For the Lost'. The promo info we received gave the following info on the tracks:
1. Inquisition (edit) - A three and a half minute version of the 9 minute behemoth that will appear on the main CD
2. A Light For The Lost (full version featuring Abi Moore on vocals) - Abi's a fantastic singer, the song is quite dreamy and doomy at the same time.
3. A Light For The Lost (film version) - More a piece of music than a song but the inspiration for a lot of the project and we thought people might want to hear it.
4. Carpe Deus (edit) this is the original version of the track as it appears in the film (and isn't going to be on the main soundtrack).
5. Forest's Edge
The Difference Engine also have a MySpace page at www.myspace.com/thedifferenceenginemusic
