I thought i`d get in my tuppence worth about T Break being a charade and how it`s all a big fix. All these big bad judges not picking your poor wee band. Grow up and stop being so naive. The judges, like all of us, have their own opinions on what makes a good band. Some may also have a vested interest in certain bands, they all work in the music industry after all. So they pick the bands they like ahead of yours and you start crying like fucking babies. T Break is a battle of the bands and nothing more. There`s only one solution to avoiding all the negativity surrounding BOTB`s, don`t enter them. Use your time and energy into promoting a gig of your own, get the place filled and put on the show of your life. The chances are you will take so much more from this than playing the T Break stage. There`s more bands making waves in Scotland without ever needing to play T Break, i don`t remember too many of the past bands to play it, do you?
I was stunned when i read online that some bands are really interested in what criteria is required to be selected to play T Break. Your music is going to end up a diluted pot of piss if you are even contemplating meeting this mystical criteria.
Playing an unsigned bands tent in the corner of T In The Park isn`t some holy fucking grail, it`s time to get a grip.
If DF Concerts decided they were going to pick 8 or 10 Scottish bands in the same way they book the bands for the other stages, that would give the whole thing a lot more credibility. Don`t bill them as unsigned bands and don`t put them on a seperate stage, put them amongst the signed artists over the weekend. Doing it this way would ensure the promoters bring in bands who can deliver rather than pandering to some committee decision.
Then again, that would be fixed too wouldn`t it?
