Last gig of the year...

November has already crept upon us and within a blink of an eye we're writing this on the eve of our last gig of the year - The Paper Chase supported by Ex Libras and On Histories of Rosenberg at the Lexington (London). In terms of gigs, we've changed our tact this year, preferring quality over quantity. This allowed us to create the PR arm of the company, which has already proved itself to be highly successful this year.

We're feeling pretty relaxed about this one so far (famous last words? We hope not!). We've already sold all our cheap tickets but there are still £7 tickets available on the door. We're really excited about seeing The Paper Chase - we promoted their London show last year at The Metro (RIP) in central London. Ex Libras as main support will be the perfect calm before The Paper Chase's visceral jaunt-rock. Plus there's the post-rock leanings of On Histories of Rosenberg to look forward to as openers. We've not seen them live yet but we were lucky enough to PR their last self-titled EP release through Function Records. Our good friends Steve and Chris Wheeler will also be hitting the decks (as the "Wheels of Steel" perhaps?) spinning some fine, fine tunes.

If you want to listen to Ex Libras or On Histories of Rosenberg before the gig tomorrow, just check our official website.

We'll be updating with pictures and reports from the gig in the next few days.

Well, that's it for now! It's set to be another busy week here at ABoF Towers with this gig tomorrow evening, a plethora of new clients and some fun stuff planned as well - our good friends Biffy are set to rock Brixton on Thurs and there's yet another 30th birthday do at the end of the week. Let's hope the last few months of the year are fun-filled and packed with goodness for one and all!

Peaceout - ABoF x

The Paper Chase, London - Last of the Cheap Tickets!

The very last of the cheap tickets are on sale for The Paper Chase @ The Lexington, Wednesday 11th November 2009.

We were running low (1 left!) so we put some more on sale. These will be your last chance to grab cheap tickets, which are £6. You can still buy tickets on the night, they will be £7 on the door.

You can buy tickets HERE

To listen to the support bands check out these links below:

Ex Libras

"Underpinning their excursions with a solid core of melody gives their songs an immediacy, draw in the casual listener, and those moments when vocalist Amit Sharma breaks through are worth treasuring..." - Review of debut album Suite(s), Clash Magazine



On Histories of Rosenberg

"Whether it's a five-minute holiday for your stressed out brain or a touch of late 90s nostalgia you're after, we give these autumnal charms the thumbs up." - Track of the Day, Q Magazine

Changes...

Over the last year, there have been a lot of changes at ABoF towers.

We have moved away slightly from purely promoting live shows and at the beginning of 2009, we ventured into music PR and management. Since this time, we've had a roster of great bands.

85 Bears, Prego and Phantom were the first bands to join ABoF PR and Function Records followed soon after. ABoF PR has gone from strength to strength since then and recently we were able to get Phantom's video for their debut single, Great Pretender, played in all the Topshop / Topman stores around the country! In addition to the very first ABoF PR rosterites, we now have London band Ex Libras, Scots five-piece Tango in the Attic, London-based art project Art for Kunst and many others.

With the last few months of 2009 set to be our busiest yet, we're already looking forward to a fruitful and fun 2010!
