doesn't the oasis count as a major venue?
No, it's a leisure centre and they seem to have about one gig a year. The only one I can find coming up is the Sugababes. Most big venues have stuff on most days and a big gig most weeks. Oxford's carling academy has British Sea Power, Simian Mobile Disco, Nine Black Alps, I was a Cub Scout, NME Awards Tour, Dropkick Murphy, MxPx, Justice, Hot Chip, Task Force, DJ Hype, the Audio Bullys, the Kooks, Reel Big Fish and The Go Team as well as several others just up to the start of March and although there are more students the city is a lot smaller than Swindon.

I like the idea, but can see it being mistreated and fuck me think of the traffic problems when it's being built.

From what I've seen of the New Swindon company, things are looking up for the town really. Let's just demolish Walcot and the parks to build a huge football stadium with loads of facilities and we'll be sorted.
Oi im from those areas , if your going to stereotype me then i might aswell stab yopu when i see you

Well since moving we already have 3 potential gigs lined up just acoustic sets but better than nothing, in a local called the Halfmoon just a normal pub but they have a great little venue within it and attract some half decent bands there. Isn't anywhere really like that in Swindon people will say the Vic or 12Bar, but it's just not the same i've heard bands who have played there and have been told not to play their own material jsut about somes the situation up in my opinion.


Hey dude i'll have to check your stuff out. What is your band called? Good to see you got it going mate  Cool

Well I've reformed with my ex guitarist Jay as he's living in Laandon now as well, just writing material and doing acoustic stuff at the moment untill we persuade the other lads to come back or get some other lads in, then hopefully get a myspace profile up. we used to be called Polaris probobly stick to that name I expect.

The Council are currently taking responses about the Transport policy, canal, etc., so if you think it's a crap idea, you can have a say.

Deadline, next Monday, 25th.

Yesterday was a classic example of a water feature running through the middle of a big town/city being a right pain the arse.
