GIG - SCREAMING MALDINI + WOODEN ARMS - PLAYHOUSE BAR - SUNDAY 17TH FEBRUARY - FREE ENTRY
A night of totally nice pop music from Sheffield and Norwich.
Independent (though hardly Indie) musician Zoe Keating makes public her earnings from streaming music services, and it’s another story that confirms the pitiful amounts paid. Even though she has been “successful” relatively speaking, her 1.5m plays on Pandora + 131k on Spotify in 12 mths have added up to roughly $2k. Is that so bad? Well, it’s not enough to pay rent and eat, which shows that it’s becoming impossible to be a professional indie musician (i.e. one that doesn’t have another job). Is that so bad?
Other interesting points of note: Psy has made $8m from YouTube alone(!) and THANK GOD Metallica have signed an exclusivity deal with Spotify which should keep them away from other services.
First show of 2013!
Venue: The Birdcage
Price: £2
Date: 8:00pm 18/01/13
Featuring: Heart of a Dog, An Early Aeronaut, Lucy Sampson, Hector Barley, Jake Morrell.

Waltz Request - 1 Minute Waltz
Last Year’s 1 Minute Wonders thing went quite well, so please do the same again, but please omit 1 beat per bar while making whatever lovely music you make.
