BristolBands.com

Welcome to the MySpace presence of www.bristolbands.com. We are a FREE resource for the music community in the Bristol/Bath area of the UK.

BristolBands.com has established a special relationship with legendary Bristol venue THE FLEECE, where we put on the majority of our special shows. As well as national tours and established acts, we're making sure the new up and coming talent gets a chance to play.

Starting in September we will have a residency at The Thunderbolt, putting on the best emerging local and national artists in a more intimate and basically 'in your face' setting.

Since we started this promoter lark we have arranged nearly 200 gigs, with almost 600 different bands playing and at least 70 world debut performances. Check out our photos and video links for a sample of the brilliant bands that have played for us.

The site layout of www.bristolbands.com contains artist information, photos and link to the band website(s), plus an upcoming gig list, venue information and a map. We also provide information on Artist Support features like promoters, studios, labels, etc and information on how to get tickets.

The info is linked, so clicking on a gig will show who else is on the bill with the music genre (so you get a feel for what type of night to expect): clicking on a band detail will give you a short profile, plus website links and show their gigs, and clicking on a venue will tell you a bit about it and show all the gigs at the venuewell you get the idea.

We also have a Forum where anyone can sign up to post gigs, band details, musicians wanted, etc etc. There's even a rant section where you can let off some steam about something that irritates the shit out of you!

We have over 6000 bands on the database (over 1200 of which are 'local') and list over 500 venues that put on live music.

We need the support of the bands, venues and fans to help us keep up to date with what is going on, so we can then post the info on the site.

PLEASE NOTE: Artists will only be accepted as Bristolbands MySpace Friends if they are located in the BS and BA postcode areas of the UK, if we are promoting their gigs or we really, really REALLY like them.a lot.



Cheers from The Team@bristolbands.com
