Champions of The Empire

We are holding Shows Accross London,for the people, by the people!!!!

The first Venue is THE BULLET BAR - CAMDEN Doors open at 7:10pm....Eric the comdedians set begins straight away!!! NOTHING goes eaxctly to plan BUT we shouldnt have a band going up at midnight or anything IF we all pull together!

Bands must advertise the night rather than thier own bands otherwise people will leave as soon as they have heard thier band....FACT! For us all to have people to play to and have money made we have to have each others back.

I figure if we JUST tell people the night begins at 7:10 with the comedian and the incrowd magician then they will see it as an event rather than a poxy gig.

Peace.

Was also thinking that a membership charge of 50p gets u a C.D featuring a track of each band (an EXCLUSIVE TO THAT RELEASE track) would be fucking cool.

So far the bands that have put in money (deposit on venue) are:

The Retrotones COLOSSUS Clinker

If a couple of bands can take it upon themselves to organise the C.D then things will be REALLY fucking happening.

Some bands in Scotland are really keen to see it work...if it does they wanna use the brand name 'Champions of The Empire Night' for shows up there.

The possiblity of this scheme spreading in a cool way is there people.

All we have to do is work together.

Get back to me...lemme know your thoughts.
