blatant plug...sorry...

Post by 21GUNS »

hi just a heads up (remove if necessary, but no harm intended!!)

we're a band from the North East... we've been regularly compared to Spiritualized and are all Spacemen3 devotees... we gave Jason a copy of our demo CD last year when he was up playing the uni with the band and he said he thought it was cool... (plug or what?!)...

"....21gunsalute join the queue to be next in line to the former thrones of Spiritualized, Doves and British Sea Power to be fragile indie kings... with their gospel drenched organs they create an impressive wall of sound.... hugely epic and poweful... 4 out of 5 ..." PLANET SOUND C4, 7/12/04

"...big, beautiful, epic songs with gospel choirs and gorgeous melodies...'' LAMACQ RADIO ONE

we're playing our first gig out of town @ the Metro Club, London, on THURSDAY 20TH JANUARY 2005...8pm... with other bands tbc.

if anyones around in London we'd appreciate it if you fancy popping down for a listen, do so...

(being updated as we speak)

cheers...

yeh i think the CD ep is almost sold out which has been a real suprise, you should be able to get it on the captainsof.com website if youre interested

similarly, if you want a cd of our '2003/04' demos on a cd leave an email or something here or a note and i'll pm you

to be sure, he did only post on this board (IMHO what this board is for). Yr proper spammer would have pasted the same message over all 4 boards!

Are you going to contact those of us who emailed you privately? Just curious. I am really looking forward to this.

i'm actually all for bands that "think" they have a lineage to SP3 or spiritualized to post here. it's a great way to check out some hopefully quality bands.

Or at least to laugh at the pathetic no-marks feeble attempts at ROCK.


But it still annoys when they just turn up, usually with a crap log in, and plaster all 4 boards with some shit pleading for votes for their band's website, and then you never hear from them again.

Seriously though, I've been following 21gunsalute for a few years now and they are the best band around at the moment.

Go see them while you can before they get massive :)

Might see some of you at the gig on Thursday then...

to - ''will this do''... how can you lambast me for signing in under a guest ID when youre doing the same thing? if you dont like our band, fine...

for your information i've been gracing these boards for a good while now under various guises... the most recent being ''spacey''... and i have all the spacemen/spz cds/vinyls... so is it ok if i mention my band now??

lighten up, i've not spammed the board, i made 1 post

for those who've emailed i'll reply asap, i've been off work since last weds on annual leave to sort for the gig etc so been busy... thanks...

ps. the gig went fine, sold out... appreciate it if anyone from here did come down... cheers...

That wasn't what I was doing. Calm down, read it again more carefully. If you still think that's what I meant, then I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I haven't heard your band, but I'm looking forward to it.

no probs

no problem, i know messages can be mis-interpreted etc over this type of medium especially... and i myself hate people who simply spam and flood post forums with pointless messages which could be on 1 post etc...
