Good luck to the other acts !!

Ouch! Birmingham were left out!

Good stuff

Not really Arcadian kicks are already playing the main stage !! lol ;-)

rather interestingly if you click on the Arcadian Kicks part on the page it states they have recently been signed to EMI.....

bodes well for G Factor!

Just found this..



Great news!

The Arcadian Kicks will finally be releasing their debut single, "19 Days" on 5th July 2010 on One Beat Records (distributed through EMI).
The B-side will be "Standing in the Road (edit version).
Both tracks are produced & mixed by Mike Chapman, legendary producer of Blondie's classic albums, Parallel Lines, Auto American & Eat to the Beat amongst many others.
We are currently mastering the songs as we speak in Birmingham!

It will be available on 500 copies x limited edition 7" vinyl and download from all the usual online outlets.
(We're also working on a special fan only package too but will get those details to you as and when they are finalised).
The 7" and special edition single will be made available to all big indie retailers and (hopefully) HMV or you'll be able to buy it from us directly via our social network sites or at the gigs. (or just drop Ian Light an email)
We have a whole album's worth of material also produced by Mike Chapman which we hope to release later in the year...but please be patient with us as we need to get "19 Days" away first!

You can still listen to another brand new song streamed on our Myspace page called "White Noise". Check it out and let us know what you think

first i heard about this event !? glad to see its not a BOTB so to speak.

Arcadian kicks are v well managed clearly.

defo mate, we tried to tap him up last year but wasn't interested it seems, he looks after isolated atoms too. both seem to get great gigs all the time!

to be fair the two girls in arcadian kicks are right cuties, i'm sure this helps!

Thats all that they are two fit birds

(Gulp) Why are we playing against them!! might see if Mike Chapman wants a new project after he's finished with them. Does anyone know any hot girls? I live in Nuneaton so I'm struggling.

yes Dan gotta be honest dude i don't envy ya, really tough heat away

hopefully you can muster a good support man, try to use the fact that you are Cov away to your advantage!

ah well, we'll play our best. hand out a few cds and try and get some contacts. we're taking a few people, but god only knows how many others will turn up. especially after what I hear of the 1st heat.

He'll make all of your songs sound exactly like Heart of Glass part 2 played by Barry Manilow being raped by a clone of Barry Manilow.

might give that a miss then.

EE have been selected for the Wychwood festival BBC Introducing Stage!

two other bands from CWR also made the cut but not sure who they are!

ace man wheres the final list btw? xxx

i don't think anything has been released yet mate, i found out by accident and perhaps i shouldn't know about us yet but hopefully you'll find out today, fingers crossed!

i'll laugh if we haven't got the slot really, will look a reet knob!

I already gathered we wasnt through even now I hold no hope at all. x Well done tho if u r actually thru! haha

wouldn't give up just yet man, yesterday i was told the other bands hadn't been contacted yet which is why they wouldn't tell me who

if not then swap ya this gig for Ian Brown + Inspire??

have u seen the youtube vids of wychwood?

no mate can't say i have, any good?

i've seen some pics and blurb and it seems to me to be a lot like Godiva in terms of layout etc

seen the admission price though? sometimes we forget how lucky we are that godiva is free!! £110 weekend ticket!

saying that tho its worth paying £50 for the sat just to see if Ryder is coherent with the Happy Mondays!

it looks class just crowd were mainly kids and old men!

ryder! genius.

x

cool! no totty?!

jelly totty maybe.
