Audiogold

I recall first meeting the guys from Audiogold (at that time known as Audigold) a couple of years ago while they were hunting for food pre-gig while the opening support for The Steepwater Band at Bush Hall. They have grown in musical ability and confidence over the time and it is of little surprise they have taken the band of the week slot, having been selected by the readers of the indie bands blog as the Number One on the New Year Ninety.  For more on Audiogold.

Paul Liddell

I make an occasional comment on the other placings and we can all see The Drums falling out of the charts for the first time since September caused a hiatus as they re-enter. The band who I have enormous respect for are Kabul Dreams who really are singing out of Kabul in Afghanistan and I am still trying to hook up an interview, who re-appear at number 2 on the chart.

Sometimes I get sad, you know that.

There are some great bands on the chart, I just worry about where the PR agents and Managers head off, I don’t think you will ever see one of these bands playing this intimacy again and two are run by managers, who I do believe are just in it for the income. I’ll talk about it another day, not me to call, the readers choose the chart, not I. It is sad to see bands not being allowed to present themselves, for the sake of publicity shots and income. I hope to get some under the skin interviews coming up soon (If I can fly under the PR radar).
