I just got done on the phone to Bozo of Swindon band 'Beatbullyz' and have managed to secure a slot for Jeanie in the Radiator to play at the Manchester night of their 'Mino-tour' which is taking place in late February. His band will be going on tour with JLS in December and they will be performing at the M.E.N arena twice as part of that tour. The hope is that this will considerably raise their profile in Manchester and we can expect a big crowd at the gig we will be playing with them in February.
I also made some enquiries in to getting a photographer to collaborate with for the Jeanie in the Radiator EP Launch I'm planning to organise for my Major Project. I have gotten in touch with Stephen Campbell, who was taking photos at our gig the other week and who is a friend of a friend, via facebook. He has taken photos of lots of Manchester bands over the years including Oasis, and has offered to do a free shoot for us as he likes our sound. I'll be meeting with him soon to suggest he do something with the photos we take at the EP launch to make it a bit of a multimedia experience with the hope of getting more attention from it and drawing a bigger audience.
Another thing that has transpired in the last few weeks is the possibility of getting a band manager on board. We don't know much about her as of yet, but a woman called Sharon who is a friend of our lead singer's mum has offered to talk to us about it. Apparently she has worked in the music promotions business for a long time and has been looking for an opportunity to manage a decent band. I think it's right to hold reservations about managers from what I've heard from other bands about the potential pitfalls; however, we'll hold a meeting and see what she has to offer.
