The organisation, production and management of the event was just pure class from start to finish, FeedMe Music put on the spread and set the stage for what was probably one of the greatest nights in Starseed’s career! The venue was just beautiful from the main stage, to the backstage and our fans just loved the whole experience. IndigO2 is without a doubt one of the best venues in London and we are just so proud to have played. Thank all you folks at FeedMe, we love you! - Andy, Starseed
***********************************************************************************

Playing at the Indigo2 was an incredible experience. The iconic venue which boasts the very best sound and lighting provided the perfect showcase for Phantom Lacuna and all the bands on the well coordinated line-up. Before working with FeedMe Music, Phantom Lacuna were big fish in a small pond, working very hard just treading water on the Kentish pub circuit. FeedMe Music have allowed us to shine on reputable stages and present ourselves to a much wider audience in a way that lets us compete with our real contemporaries. Thanks to these opportunities and the genuine sense of belief the FeedMe team have instilled in us, Phantom Lacuna have raised their game and are going from strength to strength. - Richard, Phantom Lacuna

"Starseed's set caused bouncer's to be introduced in the moshpit, this was legendary. Buckeroo anyone??" - Chris, Demure

"I hope we have another opportunity play there again! We where totally at home on the big stage there and the venues sound was amazing!"  - John, Demure

Nick: Guns N Roses – Appetite for Destruction. Although for some reason my Dad wasn’t very happy with it, he’s always been a bit of a mod....

Fraser: No idea! Going back too far!....

Shaun: After calling Fraser a forgetful old b*****d! I think it was a single, the Levi’s spaceman song! Great track got it at Virgin in Woking. How that place will be missed. It is where John, Nick and I met… great days....

Nick: When my Gran bought me a Spanish guitar when I was 12! I started living the lifestyle of a rock star age 16. I thought it better to be in a band – slightly more acceptable that way.....

Fraser: Primary school when I was about 5… knew back then did not want to have a shitty 9-5 job.....

Shaun: Apparently I used to stand in my play pen thing as a kid doing the Status Quo guitar movements so all the way back when, I guess. The Quo, legends! Blame it on my Dad though for bringing me up on it…. They also gave me a dodgy Parfitt haircut!!....

Nick; John; Shaun: } All three: Definitely The 100 Club on Oxford Street was the best, sound was great, crowd were amazing, historic venue and looking around at all the pictures of the bands who have played there too. I mean the same stage as Weller, Oasis, Jet, The Who and legends like that – it was a great experience. We all said afterwards – ‘yeah, we could actually do this boys’…. Though if you ever go there for a gig. Watch the step up as you go into the toilets…deadly. Oh and the promotion company who got the gig weren’t bad either… teehee…....

Fraser: New boy! My first gig as part of The Applescruffs is coming up at the end of the month in Woking but I guess so far would have to be at The Bestival, just for the amount of people there.....

Fraser: Oh!....

.. ..

9)    If your band could cover a particular song, which song do you think it would be?....

Fraser: The Locomotion, Kylie version. Dancing and all…....

Shaun: Our first ever gig as a band we covered Shoot the Runner by Kasabian, I’d do that one againjust to hear johnscream the high notes again…it was a disaster, erm but seriously… I think!....

We have recorded a demo already with the legend that is Jake Gosling at Sticky Studios in Windlesham, he was worked with people like Amy Winehouse, Wiley and of course David Guest. He was a twat though apparently, hope that you don’t get in trouble Jake! The demo is on the website so have a listen… spread the word…. Make us famous, please?....

Applescruffs are playing with FMM at The 100 Club Thursday 19th March 2009.

How many people came to FeedMe Music’s Glow at indigO2… ?....

1000+ that’s how many…..!!!....

Saturday  7^th February at indigO2 was a record breaking night for FMM and we are still buzzing in the office days later and I expect we shall continue to do so for a while yet.....

Let me tell you in glorious detail about the whole day ….....

Sound checks and productions were not seamless but the team and bands were professional to the core and everyone got on with it and before you knew we were running to time again. Final briefings, final checks and final calls took place while a 200 strong queue stood outside in the bitter winds clutching banners of their  favourite band of the evening and rushing the doors to claim prime positioning against the barrier.....

The openers Callecoma, a band with a playful energy and sound that lifted the crowd and set the standard for the night of impeccable music ahead.....

FranKo  were next up and these indie boys are have an unusually intelligent songs for ones so young, they have more industry buzzing around them than sexually expressive ladies in Van Halen’s dressing room, so it will be exciting to see how far these guys go.....

Tremain melted onto the stage and changed the vibe with their soulful harmonies and chocolate lyrics. This Portsmouth based band have a huge London following and the crowd lapped up the delicious melodies sung by Leonie and band.....

Elouise was up next and she along with her gorgeous guys and girls set the crowd reeling with her upbeat motown.  Elouise’s  show was tight, the choreography sublime and her distinct satin voice filled the auditorium, making everyone dance and feel really good.....

A change of sound came with alternative rockers Suzerain but people were up for anything. The crowd loved the heavier riffs and sultry tunes that they are known for.  Suzerain’s stage theatrics and wild demeanour brought everything back up to boiling point perfectly for the headliners….....

KUBLA KHAN….. the heavenly brass section blew everyone into a funk fuelled frenzy! The crowd went wild for them and this was a big deal for them as it was their official EP launch and I hear that sales for the EP after the show was incredible.....

So what a night, a few quick thanks to all the crew FOH and management at indigO2, especially Sam for looking after us so well on the day, very professional and extremely relaxed our perfect combo.....

Alli, Steve, Shazz, Glenn, Lauren and Bradley the FMM team that ran the show and realised after 12 hours straight they had not had a break.....

Dave and Alli, the MD’s are quoted to say ‘that was the proudest moment in the FMM history of the nine years we have been running!’....

So if you are interested in becoming part of the FMM plethora of talent we want to hear from you. To be considered for indigO2 it is invite only as you have to build your relationship with us by playing our smaller venues first. ....

To sign up go to our website http://www.feedmemusic.co.uk and register your band, we shall check you out and if you suit any of our nights and you agree to our terms and conditions you could be booked into any of our central London venues,  PUNK in Soho, Sound in Leicester Square, ‘36’ on Shaftsbury Avenue, ‘229’ at Great Portland Street or The 100 Club on Oxford Street.....
