Hi all,
I'm quite new here so I' thought I'd drop a line to say that Gratiz3 will be playing a few dates over practise and race week. This will include our e.p. launch on the 8th June (day before senior race day!)
check out our site http://www.gratiz3.com and go to the press section to see what people are saying.

Dates:
28th May - Bushys Beer Tent
2nd June - Bushys Basement Bar, supporting Swound!
MAD SUNDAY - The Cornerhouse
Thursday 8th June - BALLAGROOVE EP LAUNCH @ The Cornerhouse.

to hear us you can check out our myspace site, we'll also be on the Radio TT playlist, so I'm sure you'll hear us at some point over this years festival.

cheers
hope you all have fun this year!

Don't forget local heroes, Back Door Slam at the Villa on the Saturday 10 June, after the TT...that's if the Villa survives Alice Cooper, of course...

The Back Door Slam gigs are going to be ace.. they were really good at The Centenary Hall in peel, god I wish I could've sold that place out at 18!! well done to them.

The Villa will be fine after Alice Cooper, everyone will be in The Cornerhouse watching Swound!

Can't wait for Lou Reed on the 9th. that is going to be freakin' sweet

I was across a couple of weeks ago, and went down to the Villa to get my BDS tickets, but it was the day the Alice Cooper tickets went on sale and the queue was right round the building, so I'll have to phone!

just hope dear old alice hasn't died of old age before the fortnight hope there's a de-fib backstage and a few crates of sanatogen.
ade! [feeling wicked today!]

Is there a publication with a full gig guide for the TT this year? I'm only over for Race week but I'd love to check out a few bands.....and maybe even see about getting my band a slot for next year....

Any ideas?

Kev check out this website..... http://www.manxbands.co.uk

There's a number of gigs going on around the Island including "Pigs on the Wing" (Pink Floyd tribute band) at Ramsey on 6th June.

Top Stuff Charlie.....I'll have a look nearer the time to see what is gonna be on for race week.....I've seen Alice Cooper enough times now.....so I want me and my mates to check out some Manx bands.....a bit of covers maybe even some originals.....
