Slice the pie...we're in the showcase!

Got an email this morning telling us we'd made it through to the showcase stage at slicethepie.com! For those of you who've never heard of it, slicethepie is a site where bands/artists get their songs reviewed, and users of the site get paid to review them. The artists that achieve the highest ratings get to compete in a showcase and the winners (decided in a vote) are then eligible for financing (of up to £15,000) to produce an album.

Simple huh?!  Well anyway, we made it into the top 14 acts out of 1000 and are now entered into the indie/rock showcase. This means that we have a real chance of winning the money...and most importantly of getting our new material out in album form!

Of course, in order to do this we need to draw upon the support of everyone we can by getting those who know us to sign up and vote for us (as all the other bands will be doing this also). Joining slicethepie and voting in the showcase is free. It only takes a minute to register here, and once you have registered you can actually start earning money (and yes they really do pay out) by reviewing the various acts in the arena stages. You can view the indie/rock showcase, check out the various acts, and vote - for us of course:) - here

It's all very exciting for us as, at the very least it is a great promotional opportunity....we'd really appreciate any support from you guys in voting and/or spreading the word!

Finally, just a quick reminder that we'll be playing at RoTa at Notting Hill Arts Club this saturday afternoon. It's a free gig and will be showcasing several Shifty Disco bands including Gilbert and Kings of Spain. Bands are on from 4-8pm and we should be onstage around 5.30pm. We should hopefully have our projections back up and running for this one, assuming I can collect all the gear I (stupidly..) left behind at a gig in Nottingham last week!
