Hiroki Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 There not on FBR solely in the UK they are distributed by Universal which explains the rethink. They couldn't do a huge tour but they could do enough smaller Academy venue type places and dates to count as a national tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I wasn't meaning like distrubution or whatever, I was more saying that just being on the FBR label, to me, generates an effect where fans of bands on the label will listen to other bands on the label purely because they are on FBR. I can't exactly prove that though, it's just my rationale haha. You think they could headline bigger or similar capacities than on the Cobra tour? I can't even remember what venues Cobra's playing, but it's 300 in Glasgow, so I assume it can't be drastically more elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroki Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'd expect them to stick to mid sized venues like the Carling Academy venues....they will probably sell those quite easy thanks to kids that read the likes of Kerrang! and like FBR artists. Personally I don't think they could cope with huge venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Excuse my ignorance here, but are Academys smaller down south? Cause the one in Glasgow is 2,500-odd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroki Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well it depends, in Newcastle their is Academy 1 and Academy 2 and the second one is a smaller venue upstairs in the main place and it is like that in a lot of the Academy's so they will probably stick to the smaller of the two......I guess it all depends on the Kerrang! effect and the way the teenage girls take to the band in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 How big are they? Like 1,000-odd and 300-odd? Sounds like the ABC up here if that's the case. Maybe some cool kid should namedrop them in an interview and see how long it takes the masses to flock. See if I ever become that famous (and this is sad but) I'd just namedrop a band for the hell of it then find out by how much illegal downloads of that artist increased since the name drop Yes, I am that sad.

Hiroki Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 The one in Newcastle used to be a bingo hall so that should give you an idea of the size. Think we've intruded on this thread enough? Haha funny you should say that but I was planning on doing something similar by picking a band and seeing if I could promote it online enough to get them back in the limelight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I think that's what the one in Glasgow used to be haha. It might have been the building next to it I'm confusing it for though haha. We can intrude on this thread all we damn please, we are members of the British Empire! Not that I'm suggesting we Brits form a clique or anything haha Ohhh, what band were you thinking of? I've been trying to mention glassJAw on here as much as I could in the hope that some of them might give them a listen. Although, I can't imagine your typical Paramore fan liking them too much really. The typical ones around here don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroki Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Haha the brit clique. I was thinking of Taproot as they are the type of band I could imagine being huge if they came out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 They've got a new album out soon have they not? You could start whoring them in the leadup to it and see how many go download/buy it haha. At The Drive-In. I think we could get people on here to listen to them (other than One Armed Scissor). If I get anywhere with glassJAw, I'm moving onto ATD-I haha.

Hiroki Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Aye Taproot have a new one coming out and they are the type of band that could pass as Alternative/angsty and they would go down well.....it's either them or Finch!!! I don't think Glassjaw need help they are big enough and and and will sell out gigs anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Finch FTW! I honestly can't wait for their new EP. I'm not doing this to help the band per se, I'm doing it to educate people on one of the 21st centuries greatest bands and to make their lives better by listening to musical bliss.
