A huge congratulation to long time Mixposure.com artist Bilbozo for being the Artist of the Month.
Bio:
I started playing guitar when I was 16 with a love for world music, latin and rock. I try to do something in almost every genre to be as rounded a player as I can ! I have been playing in various local bands for about 15 years. When the digital recording age came along I built a home studio and began to learn recording, Acid Looping and combining those elements together to create grooves and compositions. I have a business and a family but I continue to be a weekend warrior playing in a Classic Rock Band for fun and fuel my passion to write grooves, soundtracks, jingle bites and ambient compositions. This is my Hidden Mission !
Still unsure how this blog/timeline works out but in for a penny.....
I graduated from the Birmingham Conservatoire this summer and have been looking for opportunities to promote my band - The Perfect Storm.
We are a versatile group of very talented musicians that have enjoyed classical training but play a full range of dance, boogie, pop and disco groove tunes with some surprising highlights. Some might say we are just one of the many party & Function Bands available to play at weddings, corporate gigs and functions but we offer something very special - watch out for the show reel and see us in full SWING.
Just Another Party Band Looking for Work
Much of our work so far has come from local classified ads on Gumtree and the like but we are now considering taking the band to the next level and looking for work further afield .
Ideas for finding interesting gigs would be welcome. Residencies at clubs and resorts spring to mind and it would be fantastic to get a cruise contract to literally play the decks.
If you have any experience of agencies that really do help bands get more work like this please message me - thanks.

Don't waste your time trying to provide people with proof of deceit, in order to keep their love, win their love or salvage their respect for you. The truth is this: If they care they will go out of their way to learn the truth. If they don't then they really don't value you as a human being. The moment you have to sell people on who you are is the moment you let yourself believe that every good thing you have ever done or accomplished was invisible to the world. And, it is not!
look!!! You can love her with everything you have and she still wont belong to you. She will run wild with you, beside you with everystep but let me tell you something about women who run with wolves, their fierce hearts dont settle between walls and their instinct is stronger than upbringing. Love her wild or leave her there. !!

'goodbye' is a tune that has always calmed me. There are tunes I feel embarrassed about because there's a stigma to liking your own music. It's laughable in general public as a joke of loneliness. Sad world.
For the first time in my life. Long overdue. I’m officially won for Best Blues Single of the Year at the 2017 Banks Radio Australia Indie Music Awards. Special thanks to God, my family, my friends, Isaac Banks and especially; THE FANS! So, here’s to you!
