We've just signed up to "Orange Unsigned Act" : http://orangeunsignedact. co. uk/.

It's about to go into Season 2 of the show that launches one lucky into infinity and beyond.

 

Maybe ;)

 

None of this X Factor crap either. For those that don't know, those bands who get through the online voting process compete each week by gigging. Ok, there's a ceratin amount of "staging" that goes on but essentially you get to perform as you would at any other gig, just you, your own songs and a pit of applauding/screaming/booing gig-goers just like you'd find on the circuit.

 

Only bigger.

 

The number of people and size of the venue...not the size of the audience members.

 

Er...I think ;)

 

And, thankfully, there's not a Simon Cowell in sight. Ok, there IS a record company suit in the panel (appears nice enough and knows what he's talking about if the first season is anything to go by) but he's also joined by Jo Whiley (Radio 1 DJ and all round muso Goddess) and Alex James (he of Blur fame. Who actually seems a pretty decent guy to boot)

 

So, if you've got time, swing by our page there at: http://orangeunsignedact.co.uk/acts/this-burning-age listen to the 3 tracks that are up, post up a comment (play counts and kind words gets us noticed) and get ready for when voting begins on September 1st.

 

We want this.

 

A lot.

 

Any help would be muchos appreciated.

 

Cheers!

 

:D

 

Big thanks to Kim and Tony B for dropping by, listening to the tracks and posting comments...every play and post helps get the attention of the bigwigs "upstairs" :D

 

But, more important than getting noticed now is the actual voting next month so to attract listeners I threw together (and by "threw" I mean "spent a couple of hours working on"!) a clickable banner for our MySpace page which takes folks straight to our Orange Unsigned Act page.

 

And, quite handily, it can also go in my sig...

Cheers Nick. If there's any chance of rustling up people to vote for us when it opens on Sept 1st it would be muchos appreciated :)

 

There's a bit of a lull in August as our drummer and then guitarist have gone/are going on holiday but September should be a lot more interesting. We'll be back at Bar Academy again but our first confirmed date is Sept 27th at The Actress and Bishop off St Pauls Square in Birmingham. We're the opening act this time but hey, a gig's a gig's a gig ;) Details and address are up on our MySpace page mate.

Excremente! I'll be voting for you buddy and i'll definately see you on the first, count me in :D

Anymore for anymore? Big thanks to the 3 members: Kim, TonyB and Apache that took the time to listen and comment but bit of a shame there's been no more!

 

Even if you just leave the player playing in the background and comment with just a smiley face (like one band I've gigged with did!) it all helps get us noticed by the people "upstairs"! :D

Hi liegh, listened to the tracks, very fresh and excellently produced. Thrashing guitars aren't normally my thing, but I really enjoyed that, very melodic and getting the electronica vibe ...:) can't comment yet , still waiting on email for the sign-up. The very best of luck, you're an extremely creative guy.

Cheers Mick, that means a lot coming from a fellow muso! :)

 

If you get chance, check out Stay Forgotten and Stronger, Faster, Fitter on my MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/thisburningage ...might be more your cup of electronica. They've still got guitars but the emphasis is much less on them. You might like The Last Day as well! :D

Hi Leigh,

 

I signed up, listened and commented...best of luck in the competition.

 

Cheers
