We expect the tour to show people that we know what we're talking about, as well as entertain the shoes'n'socks off of those who already know the score. YEAH YOU! We value your support and because of that, we're offering 5 pairs of tickets (well, it'll be more of a ViP pass guestlist type thing - you can meet the bands and even Sean the editor of Drownedinsound if you insist!) to the shows of your choice, plus an exclusive compilation cd featuring all the bands from the tour. To enter, simply tell us what you like, love and hate about this site in an e-mail to comps@drownedinsound.com. Easy-peasy! [bribes gladly accepted]
Also, you or someone you know may be able to help us. We are looking for people to help flyer and put up a few posters or just generally spread the word about the above shows. We have no budget whatsoever, I'm paying for making the flyers instead of buying xmas pressies this year. Dis doesn't make money and the tour has been set-up to cover costs, money isn't that important anyway. What we can do in return for your luvverly help is gratutitously shove you a few promo's, get you into the gig of your choice for free and you'll also get more good karma than you'd ever imagine possible - I'd offer my heart, body and mind but none of them are worth that much. If you can help please mail sean@drownedinsound.com
See you there, I'm trying to make it to as many of the shows as possible. Peace'n'Rawk! Sean xxx p.s. Exhibit A have an mp3 @ http://stage.vitaminic.co.uk/exhibit_a/ if you're curious why I am making such a fuss about them.
