VARIOUS ARTISTS: FREAKSHOW-LOCKED IN THE DRESSING ROOM
Record/Vinyl
A COMPLIATION OF FANTASTIC PUNK ROCK BANDS FROM AROUND EUROPE
ON GORGEOUS DARK GREEN VINYL......
COVID 19 HAS HIT THE GIG SCENE...BANDS, PROMOTERS AND VENUES ALIKE HARD....FACT!
It's become pretty clear, that unless something can be done, on our own initiative, we would lose an integral part of the live music industry. Bands who play on big stages, have honed their musical and performance skills in many small venues scattered around Europe.
These venues need our support.
Through the Facebook page, personal contacts, and the venues, we've put together about 100 bands, who will appear on a set of albums, on Limited Edition Coloured Vinyl
The list of bands is almost complete and includes some well known touring acts, as well as others who may be less known but are regulars on the live circuit.
The albums have the Venue regulars, a handful of Headline acts, previously unreleased new/live/old material and the odd one or two that are regulars at one of the other venues, which will introduce them to a wider audience, and hopefully play at the other venues, upon reopening.
The initial list of venues consists of regular punk rock haunts around Europe, and its hoped that the profits raised from each release will help with cashflow for reopening and bankrolling shows as we exit this pandemic
