Events Horizon – Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Welcome to this week’s Guitar Noise Events Horizon, which (as you hopefully know by now), is our weekly blog post where we do our best to catch you up on upcoming shows featuring members and friends of the Guitar Noise community, taking place all over the world. Or at least wherever and whenever people let us know they’re happening!

Because, as you know, we at Guitar Noise believe that the true power, wonder and beauty of music comes when it gets shared with the world. So whenever you’re out playing, we’d really like to do is to help promote your shows, whether it’s in a stadium or at a ten-seat coffee house. Not only is it a great way to help support each other, it’s also a terrific way to meet more musicians!

Every Wednesday, we’ll post here about the gigs we know are coming up in the following ten days or so. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to attend a show should they happen to be in your corner of the world!

And don’t forget that you’ve still got a chance to help out a fellow Guitar Noise community member e ven if you can’t get to one of his shows! Tom McLaughlin and his band Life is Drama have made it to the final ballot stage for the readers’ favorites poll of the Chicago suburban magazine, Nitelife. So if you can manage to get a few spare minutes while you’re on the Internet, head to the following URL: http://www.nitelife.org/ and then click on the banner that says “Best of the Burbs.” Then take a moment and vote for Life is Drama for “Best Cover Band” and “Best Rock Band,” and be sure to also add Mindi for “Best Female Singer” and Rob for “Best Drummer.” And, of course, be sure to vote for Tom (who goes by “Tommy Gunz”) for “Best Guitarist.” On behalf of Tom and Life is Drama, we thank all of you in the Guitar Noise community for helping out! And Tom also informs me that if you delete your cookies after visiting the site, you can vote again! That’s definitely keeping with a time honored Chicago tradition!
