Hi everyone! Some of you may know me, most of you probably don't. I used to post here quite a lot a few months ago but I've been more of a lurker the last year or so. Anyway I'll cut to the chase. I'm in a black metal band called Isgahaatt. If you wanted to listen to some of our stuff you could find it right here (when did we get soundcloud tags? Go Paul.)

In May, massive British "black metal" band Cradle of Filth are touring Australia and we entered one of those Facebook competitions to get the opening support for Sydney. So what I'm getting at is I would like you to have a listen to our stuff and if you like it (and frankly, even if you don't) to hit the voting page and click on Sydney then vote for Isgahaatt. Cradle of Filth have been my favourite band since I was 11 and if we got to play with them that would be the fucking coolest thing ever. So if you're ok with it, help out a fellow QC fan and struggling musician to get a real awesome gig.



It would also be cool to talk about how these kinds of competitions are sort of making the music scene (in this case the Australian metal scene, which is already extremely embattled by lack of venues and an apathetic public) less of a community where people support each other and more of a competition in general where someone always has to lose out. Or maybe you think they're a way of getting up and coming bands that maybe aren't as established as other, bigger bands an in to the scene and an opportunity to get gigs they never would have been able to get in the past.

Cthulhu:

Jimmy the Squid:
Thanks!

We are working on releasing an EP in a few months. It'll be on bandcamp and the like once it's done and I'll make sure to keep everyone posted.

Barmymoo:
Boo I can't vote because like almost everything else in the entire world it requires a facebook account. Can we talk about how appalling it is that everything has bought into the facebook thing? It's ridiculous!

Anyway, goooooood luck Jimmy, that sounds like it would be amazing!
