Popped down to the Flapper last night to take some photos of An Untitled Musical Project (GDFAF report) with their blessing in return for free entry and a pint of beer, my going rate at the moment. Didn’t stay for the whole gig but I did have a nice chat with drummer James and inevitably we got talking about MySpace which was apparently responsible for everything they’ve achieved of late, from gigs to getting a manager. What was interesting was it required no effort from them on the networking front. They just uploaded the songs, filled in the info and kept the gig listings updated – everything else just happened. Which sounds a little too good to be true for a band that’s only been around for 9 months or so but the proof is there.
Despite a tiny crowd they were still tight and highly enjoyable, which was nice as I couldn’t remember exactly what it was I’d heard before with all 14 gigs merging in my mind, so go check them out when they’re next playing. And they only live around the corner from me which means I can deliver the photos bike-courier style. Magic.
They must be quite good then, I’ll have to have a lsiten.
