Drowned in Norwich #1
We’ve started contributing a bi-monthly column ALL about Norwich Music to the music blog-behemoth that is Drowned in Sound.
We’re super proud to have been asked to supply them with what’s up and down (mostly up) in Norwich Music. We’re all big fans of DiS and we think this will bring quite a bit of extra attention to a music scene we love and are deeply involved in.
New Feature - FREE Weekly Download
We are looking for Norwich based independent artists to submit their material for us to feature each week. We will showcase our favourites, so make sure they’re good songs and sound great.
It can be in any format, either send us a file and we’ll host it on the blog or send us links to stuff which is already available on SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Reverbnation, Facebook etc. etc. etc.
Norwich’s Next Big Thing is well under way… missed the first band but Lady Panther currently rocking something like a heavy BRMC/Black Keys. Singer is great - touches of Casablancas and Ian Curtis. He’s one to watch…
Alan Southgate is looking to get people involved in making music with him. For the last year, he has been writing and recording one song every week, and uploading them to a blog. He wants the people who read the blog to choose which 13 of the 52 songs will sit together on an album.
More than that, he also wants to collaborate with as many people as possible, if you like a song and want to perform on it with him. Alan is hoping to upload some of the individual elements from songs so people can just get straight on with writing and performing around them.

Feature - VinoSangre - DIY Handpulled screenprinting for bands and labels!
So, we’re not into advertising, but these two deserve a mention! Em and Mikee do amazing things with ink and t-shirts and totes and paper and 7”s and CDs…ANYTHING! They have done work with Violet Violet, We Can’t Dance, Jackals, and more. And they’re based in Norwich. BRILLIANT!
Review - These Ghosts - You Are Not Lost, You Are Here (NR One Records)Delicately crafted soundscapes and emotive ambience from a band surely too young to be so intricate
Interview - Norwich Sound and Vision
I had an online conversation with Adrian Cooke, organiser of new local music conference, Norwich Sound and Vision. The event takes place from the 16th to the 18th of September and occurs annually. This year is the DEBUT!
Thought - End of an Era?
With the departure of Violet Violet this month following on from the ‘they-have-they-haven’t-they-have’ split of The Brownies, I couldn’t but help feel somewhat rosy eyed - it seemed after what felt like a golden age that this was the end of an era.
Comedy Podcast - Bad Jacket
Ever thought of your Fridge as being a “Simon”? Ever thought your hairdryer was a knobhead? You’ll be in good company while listening to this podcast by Ryan and Erica.
INTERVIEW - Terry Lee of Future Radio
The morning maestro of Norwich’s own Future Radio (107.8FM) had a chat with nrmu about local music and the way the station approaches it.
