What’s EatNoise all about then?
EatNoise is a new online service for original bands, live music venues and fans hungry for live music. It’s a social platform that fuses the great communication aspects of Facebook with the solid points of what once made MySpace great, and is dedicated to live, original music. It’s to live music, what bandcamp is to recorded music, and I’m trying to do what Bandsintown and Songkick does, but better with much more interactivity.
What is the most rewarding aspect about running EatNoise?
I’ve played in bands before, and while it’s great fun playing music, there’s also a ton of hardships to overcome: they’re the last to get paid, building a fan base, selling albums, and making a living. More than just talent, it takes guts, commitment and putting yourself out there.
Tell us about the EatNoise Launch Party at The Workers Club on Friday March 27.
We’ve got a sensational and diverse lineup. First, we’ve got James Grim’s (Brothers Grim & The Blue Murders) new band, dirty country outfit James Grim Woodcutters, then the rockabilly group The Rechords. Third, we’re introducing rockers The Black Guild with members from Fuck the Fitzroy Doom Scene, Dirty York and The Living End. Headlining are psych rockers The Strange, who are launching their single and video clip Piece of Your Strange. Plus, we’ve got some Burlesque. We love burlesque; it’s a perfect match for live rock’n’roll.
EATNOISE is launching this Friday March 27 at The Workers Club.
