they're gonna charge musicians for a license to play live music in England and Wales, a
£20,000 fine for those that don't cough up £500. For fucks sake as if it's not hard
enough for struggling new music. Bands without a license won't be able to play in pubs,
clubs or even their own gardens. So much for Tory
B.Liar's Cool Brittania spoutings - This is SICK. Tell
'em where to stick it - protest! sign the

Rocklands Tourist Board update
Crazy. Promoting LaLaLand, the alternative dimension of BritainIreland. The music
world, alternative culture, unity, community, creativity and positivity that is the best
thing about 21st century life these days. Unusual Tourist Board...
03-003 - Amazing. The new year article proving LaLaLand
existed because (among much more) there were Jedi Knights on the census perhaps
wasnt so mad when cencus results were published to say it's the 4th biggest faith in the
UK! Then on the 15th February,
The Mique were out in force, marching for peace, trying to halt the insane spiral
of following the Armageddon Script. Talk about Apocalypse Right Now! Then Rocklands Star was invited to
the launch of Respect 003. The Lord Mayor's new building has a fab view
of Tower Bridge with Docklands in the background. An Amazing 21st century city walk from
London Bridge. Coo, what a treat. The icing on the cake was when Ken Livingstone announced
that this year's event would be held in Rocklands itself, at The
Peace Dome.
Rocklands Tourist Board is currently talking to two local venues about putting on
events from April onwards, including some to preview Respect Week. Watch
this space for further details.

Ooh, this is good. More than, in fact. "Bandages" by Hot
Hot Heat, instant addiction!
This urgent rock'n'roll treat of a single is released on March 24th
with extra songs "Apt.101" and "Move
On". Hot Hot Heat? Neat Neat Neat! Steve Bays
(Vocals, Keyboards), Dante DeCaro (Guitar), Paul Hawley (Drums)
Dustin Hawthorne (Bass) - on the strength of their CD I am convinced that
I must see them live. Well, waddya know, I can! The Barfly (Glasgow
25th, Liverpool 26th, London 27th, Cardiff 29th, Bristol Louisiana - 28th and on May
2nd @ London ULU). Recent shows over the pond ended with stage
invasions - that's pretty honest audience feedback. "Bandages" will be followed by an album 'Make Up The Breakdown' on
March 31st (releases: Sub Pop/B-Unique Records)
They have the tunes, the gigs and the exposure - watch them go! Blame Canada! |

| Feeder were among the many bands missing nominations at The Brits but,
believably, their career, which has risen steadily from day one, continues rising to the
point where ignoring them is not an option. "Just The Way I'm Feeling" was
a Top 10 single in January and "Comfort In Sound", which went
gold week of release is an album that has just taken on legs of it's own, and run for the
stars... Feeder have always worked hard internationally, and following
pleasing 60,000 adoring fans on their own massive sellout headline tour of LaLaLand, they
will play Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo before supporting Coldplay's European and UK tour of
megadomes throughout March and April. www.Feederweb.com

MOVING UNITS formed in the 21st century. They met
thru music and DJd together at clubs n parties then gigged around the West Coast of
America and began claiming a fan base who they are playing for now before heading to
LaLaLand with Hot Hot Heat. Moving Units EP is released 31st March 2003 - RX

Fell in love with Accelorator at The Basement Club in January -
top blast! I was out with the Queen
Mom and we were both smitten with their rock! Jay
(vocals/guitar), Roy (drum)'n'(bass)
Dan are from the scene free dimension of Bright On, nowadays famous for a different,
tastier kind of rock than the traditional lolly. There's all kinds of music going on,
bands don't have peers, they have piers. lollypop:
Accelerator's songs are fresh like
ocean spray and forceful as an energetic storm. The Alcohol Fairy made me beg them to play
around the seaside in the summer (? I don't know). Next thing ya know, there we are at
Bright On digging another of their gigs. A debut single, "Lollypop
Rock", is due out... Get the full juice on Accelerater from http://www.headwreckerrecords.com (They
were also recently featured in the 6Radio "Invisible
Superstars" article). |
| New Labour. New Danger. they're gonna charge
musicians for a license to play live music in England and Wales, with a £20,000 fine
hanging like the sword of Damocles over those that don't cough up £500 as requested. This
means bands without a license won't be able to play in pubs, clubs or even their own
gardens. So much for Blair's Cool britania spoutings all those years ago. This is SICK.
