[Rossi The Midget]

[Kayleigh]

[Jam]

As for u rodders, 'twas good to c u venture down from them thar hills this evenin-i remember that t-bone player-Dougie, the Lurpack man...

Monday's gig is a charity do and is £4 on the door apparently. If it's half as good as the one at Breeze the place will be jumpin! We're getting better man!!...as the song says.

If anyone has been to any of our gigs your opinion good or bad is most welcome by the way. Don't be shy.

[G]

Who are Crease to Exist??

[MUSICFAN_20]

Rossie's just a muppet. theres this band called Cease to Exist, there a heavy metal band I think? U should have a look the 28th of may thing on the doon toon page it just shows how much of a idiot that guy is?

R u blokes playing Breeze next Tuesday?

[G]

We certainly are mate! In fact we have got the following gigs lined up: -

June 16th: Breeze, South Shields
July 28th: The Archer, Jesmond (Battle of the Bands)
July 30th: Bar 36, Sunderland
August 5th: Head of Steam, Newcastle (Opp Central Station)

All of the recent gigs went down really well and the band are playing better and better as each gig comes along. If anyone is interested in supporting a local band playing good original tunes then get yourself along to our gigs. The alternative is being forced to put up with manufactured boybands and pop idol forever!! If you don't support the local music scene then don't complain about the sh*te music we are all being forced to put up with. Support local music but do yourself a favour.............start of by going to see THE NORTH.

All was going well with the NORTH, The Telegraph gig and Pukka were close together but went well.

Next up the Battle of the Bands planned for Coast was pulled, due to lack of interest. The band put together a full gig that night at short notice with support from the Waldock brothers.

The gig went well but what followed was a drunken argument which highlighted personalities were clashing.

Almost a year on things are close to taking of again G has had a new addition to family and an overhaul of personnel in the NORTH. The 4 are now 3 and the other two lads are new to the band and from the north side of the river. They are putting a new set together and head into the studio mid May.

The website is up and running, in its first form, while it is also under constant development.

Check it out http://thenorth-music.com

You will see G is playing a support slot back in his native Jarrow on the 23rd. The band he is supporting are called the New Stories, well worth a look!!!

I guess you have a big nose in a Pinocchio way making you a compulsive lyre, so I will take your comment as a compliment.

Thanks

:lol:

Did you try the link?

Is that your nose growing again?

My inquisitive half wondered what made you tick, then we found this post:-
Well actually the clubs I attend are Indie clubs. I'm also the singer and guitarist in an Indie band.

P.S. we don't do sh*te covers either

So I’m pretty sure you will be aware of how difficult it is to play your own tunes and build up a following.
http://www.thenorth-music.com is all about sharing information so we all have a chance of getting an original music scene going.

Its early days and the sites in need of development but this a chance for local bands to help each other.

The North have been in the studio this weekend and have an EP to produce in the next few weeks. They are also playing a last minute gig at the Archer in Jesmand on Monday 16th of May before planning a few dates around the region.
