Eminem
New Tickets just released:
Milton Keynes Bowl,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday 23rd June 2003
More dates and tickets
have just been released for Slim Shady's UK gig. Be warned though,
the first batch sold out real fast.
Since he last visited UK shores he's released what's been hailed
as his best album to date, The Eminem Show, and has received critical
plaudits for his first film role, in the superb 8 Mile. Lose yourself
in this Milton Keynes stadium do - now with extra dates...

Justin
Timberlake
More London tickets released
today
It's Justin Timberlake! After performing the most Robbiesque transformation
since, well, since Robbie himself, it looks like Justin's well
on his way to surpassing Mr Williams even on the superstar stakes
(if his frequent appearances in the celeb gossip rags are anything
to go by). Now completely shorn of his boy band Britney botherer
image, Justin has carved out his own particularly funky (and not
to mention sexy) solo niche with singles 'Cry Me a River', the
Grammy nominated 'Like I love You' and 'Rock Your Body', all from
his highly listenable and boogie-worthy album 'Justified'. His
Spring shows were the hottest ticket around, and these new December
shows promise to be the perfect way to warm your cockles, ahem,
on a cold winter nights. click

Pay to Play?
Hi there,
I have just
read an article on The
Death of Pub Rock
which deals a little
with the Pay-To-Play scheme that is ruining the UKs live music
scene.
I would therefore
like to bring to your attention a petition that has been
set up by West London based unsigned band, fREAK-1-C. We have
set up a small
website detailing what pay-to-play is and giving people the chance
to signe
a petition against the scheme, as well as Name and Shame venues
who run
it...
We are a non-profit
making organisation and need help with advertising... Is
there any chance you could put some of this info in your news
pages? The
website, with full details of what we are trying to achieve can
be found at
www.no-pay-to-play.net.tf
We have recieved nearly 200 signatures in just over two weeks...
I look forward to your response,
Regards,
Ian Husbands
www.no-pay-to-play.net.tf
www.freak-1-c.com
Ed: Thanks for that Ian. Stewart Dean, LondonNet's resident web guru and founding memeber of indie band The Sheen replies:
Hi Ian,
I too am in a unsigned band based in West London, The
Sheen, and so far have never ever paid to play - and if you
can bring the punters in you will never ever have to pay to play.
There are venues, like Sound, that require a deposit that is returned
if you get over X amount of people in, but then it's a bigger
venue and the amount is not that great. If you can't get over
30 people to a gig then you don't need a place that holds over
200. We're playing a 300 capacity venue in Brixton next month
and it's still not pay to play.
In short what are you on about?
