Bringing Back the Glory. Where to get tickets in the UK.

So, much like Pressurefest, I am the official UK seller for Bringing Back the Glory happening in Essen, Germany on the 13th March.

The line up for this fest is incredible as you can see from the flyer at the bottom of the post..

So here is the deal:

Presale tickets are onsale now.

Tickets will be priced at £22.50 in person and £25.50 posted (to cover postage, packaging and Paypal fees).

I will be selling tickets at various London hardcore shows in the upcoming months. If you would like to purchase a ticket, PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST at london.calling.hc@gmail.com. You will need to check whether I will be attending partcular shows as I will not be carrying the book of tickets around London with me, so will need to know how many tickets you would like me to bring.
In regards to posting the tickets, all tickets will be sent via first class recorded delivery. I will be making a couple of bulk posts a week, as I have a full time job. Each envelope will have a tracking number, and will also NEED A SIGNATURE.
If you would like your tickets posted, please click on the button below STATING AN ADDRESS WHERE SOMEONE WILL BE THERE TO SIGN FOR THE TICKETS:

DIRTY MONEY RIP?

The rumour mill was on overdrive a couple of hours before the Madball show on Friday night at the Underworld. Dirty Money pulled out of the show . The reason? They had split up.

This statement was then issued on their myspace:

Dirty Money is no more. Due to a number of personal reasons Rob decided to part ways with the band. This is the end of the band.

No last show is planned. We will not be playing shows over the next week, and any shows we have booked will probably be cancelled. I'm sure more news will follow. Graham is doing a band that sounds like Antidote. Roman still does Cold Snap. Thanks for all the support. This is it for the moment. DM

The band have numerous UK shows, a European tour and a US tour to be remembered by, but will be sorely missed by many hardcore fans around the world.

I look forward to hearing Graham's new band, and wish the rest of the band all the best of luck with whatever musical endeavors they embark upon.

Dirty Money sign to Thirty Days of Nights Records.

Faz from TDON:

We are very pleased to announce we will be putting out the Dirty Money album out early next year! we will be handling the Cd and Digital side and Dead And Gone will be releasing the VInyl side! Ive been friends with Graham and Mark for ages so totally stoked! more info soon! http://www.myspace.com/thedirtymoney Head here to pick up the No Escaping This Cd http://www.deadandgonerecords.com/store

TDON have also signed TRC, and will be releasing a 7" from Southern band, BreakingxPoint.

The line up for "Bringing Back the Glory", being held in Essen, Germany, has been released. It is safe to say that it has blown everyones mind, featuring incredible bands from America and the best talent that Europe has to offer. London hardcore features HEAVILY on the bill, with appearances from Knuckledust, Dirty Money, and Injury Time. London favourites, PAs Wisdom in Chains are also on the bill, and rumours are flying around that more big name bands are to be added onto the already extraordinary bill.

If you would like information on flights/hotels, go to the messageboard and I will direct you to the cheapest mode of transport and the cheapest lodgings.

Do NOT miss this show.

NeverxAgain- New tracks up.

NeverxAgain are the talk of the town. Not since the Dead Swans beginning have a uk band been talked about by so many people.

The band have recorded a couple of new songs and put them up on their Myspace page.

Check them out or be left behind (like me apparently!)

SO SO SLACK

Hi everyone. As usual, so slack, so apologies. Now that the fest is done, im going to be updating MUCH more. On with the news!

RunningRiotFest

I would like to thank EVERYONE that played this year, came out, and helped out. It couldn't have been done without the help of many so thank you all.

The fest is going to go on hiatus. Unfortunately, with other commitments at this time, I will not be doing the fest in 2010. The fest may return after that, I am not totally ruling it out, but at the moment, this is not looking likely.

Hang The Bastard Blog:

Everyone go check out Hang The Bastards Blog, featuring loads of updates about the band!

Word on the grapevine is that Stu who used to play in Army of Flying Robots is playing bass for them now.. confirm/deny anyone? Anyhow, they are playing with Madball at the Fighting Cocks next year at what promises to be the show of the year... which leads me to...

Madball at the Fighting Cocks SOLD OUT.

You snooze, you LOSE. This is promising to be the show of the year. Madball, in a room that can barely fit 100 people, with support from Londons Ninebar, Hang The Bastard and Pay No Respect? I cant wait.

LDNLove:

As far as I am aware, LDNLove is all up to date with shows happening in the city. If you ARE putting a show on, then please drop me an email there and i will add it up!

There are some awesome shows coming up, including Trash Talk next month and Agnostic Front with Cocksparrer next year!

Thats it for now. Till next time folks!
