YRock on the big stage
After a really successful showcase at last year's HUGE Winterfest stage at George Square, YRock have once again teamed up with the council to offer you the chance to play big outdoor stages. Keep your eyes peeled for more details...
Urban Spotlight
We are looking for three young and enthusiastic acts that are eager to progress in the music industry and showcase their talent. The successful acts will each get three days in the recording studio with professional musicians and 100 copies of the final product. To top it all off, the chosen three will get to promote their demo at a launch gig in March 2010.
In The News
Has your band been featured in the papers? On the radio? Is there a YRock angle to the story? Let us know and we'll spread the word.
YRock. Hot off the press.

    YRock @ ABC2
    The Vespas
    Not Half Right
    The Red Labels
    Vinyl

    It was a wet and wild Friday night in Glasgow. But that’s how we like it. Hundreds turned up to ABC2 to watch and listen to a night of punk-laced indie rock (if this type of music has an actual genre then feel free to let me know).

    That could be possible... if you could somehow provide transportation??
    i have a 60w line 6 spider 2 amp
    a 30 w line 6 practice amp
    and a fat rat bass amp... which i think is 50w, but not sure

    all the amps would need mic'd up - especially the practice amp, though they all have a line out, but i believe the bass amp is temporamental using a line out.

    you can contact me on my mobile:
    07874231250

    thanks,

    hey guys
    yeah we got tickets fine
    we dont have much in the way of a backline; i might be able to bring a 75w line 6 spider 2 amp (not the valve amp) if need be, but it would be a hastle bringing it from livingston.
    we also have a pearl kit, but no means to transport it :(
    would it be possible to borrow backline/drum kit?
    thanks,

    yeah sent you a myspace message.
    we have to opt out of the abc 2 show as we don't have enough songs completed to play.
    and it's too short notice.

    and its hard finding the time to practise. :/

    Get a more prepared band for te september show ;D
    and we'll leave you guys a message nearer next year when we get our stuff recorded and finished.

    thanks for your help anyway.
    I hope we can play a show for you guys soon :)
    peace out

    KTV :P .
