The band is planning a European tour to reunite after university studies and gain performing experience. They will perform at small venues, many of which offer accommodation in exchange for performances, to reduce costs. The tour will feature covers of popular rock bands along with 2 original songs to test new material. Venues have been chosen in Berlin, Malmo, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Paris, London, Bristol where band members have contacts. The tour budget accounts for vehicle rental, travel, accommodation, equipment, fuel and CD production/sales to cover costs. Itineraries provide travel details between venues over an 18 day period. Risk assessments will be completed for health and safety on tour.

Following a successful series of summer gigs around Wales, the band had
to take a temporary hiatus to continue their university studies. The aim of
the European Tour is to reunite playing as a band, gaining more
experience and testing out material.
The creative vision for the tour is to stick closely to their ‘garage-band’
roots and market them as an authentic pop-rock band. The band will
perform all instruments and vocals live to ensure this and by having a set
list of pop-rock classics, (e.g. Green Day, The Killers and Stereophonics)
it will help to attract and engage a crowd.
The tour will consist of small capacity venues (less than 250), the
majority being hostels that take part in the recent ’Stay and Play’
initiative. This will help to reduce costs.
In addition to the covers, the band will also perform 2 originals to ensure
they are not viewed solely as a cover band and can begin to test and
market their own material on different crowds. These can be sold with a
selection of the covers on a physical EP in each venue to help gain
revenue and fans.

Most of these have been
chosen as they do or are
likely to offer a ’stay and
play’ initiative. This is a
recent idea where hostels
will host artists for free if
they put on a gig for them.
Similarly, other venues
such as Babel in Malmo
and Prachtwerk in Berlin
were chosen because we
have contacts in the
venues who are more
likely to agree to hosting a
gig.
