Monthly roadshows
听
Since the beginning of 2011, we've taken our 蜜芽传媒 Introducing show out on-the-road to various areas across our patch to bring people a flavour of the local music scene.
听
Every month, we rock up at a different venue with a pile of microphones, cables and recording equipment along with several vans full of enthusiastic musicians!
听
As well as the bands being able to invite an audience, we also bring along a number of music industry professionals to comment on the live acts.
听
We tend to host our sessions on evenings/weekends is because it's normally a quiet time for venues - so effectively you get a free gig curated with the best bands (from the thousands who have submitted their music to us), full tech provided, plus听听- so effectively you just need to open your doors!
