Q - How do you get a good band more exposure – what is best to raise awareness and gain momentum? A - Best way to get exposure is to try and get as many support tours as possible, try and get an agent to put you forward for as high profile show as possible. This is more important than trying to get a deal. Q - How does a band get on the festival circuit? A - There are so many festivals at the moment it is easy to get on A festival circuit of sorts, the trick is to get on the RIGHT festival circuit. Again a good agent is the way to get this, or win Road to V. Q - What is the most ridiculous rider you’ve ever heard? A - Haha, that has to be W.A.S.P. it included boneless offal and a wood chipper to spry the offal over the crowd...oh and maggot filled balloons! Q - What sound is going to be the most commercial over the next year or two? A - I think bands like MGMT are leading us away from the more generic guitar/indie bands which is a good thing. Sam Sparro is bringing a bit more glamour to the proceedings as well. The Fratellis new album is great and I have heard some of The Enemy’s new tracks which are going to be massive.
