Short list of bands

last night I sat down and listened to all the bands that had replied to our advert (17 in total) and picked out the five that i thought were most fitting to our show, takinging into consideration the look, age, gender, genre and quality of recordings.

The five artists i ended up with were

1. The Joe Public


2. An Honest Contradiction


3. Kids Love Lies


4. Jharda


5. Jambo Reign

In todays lesson i showed Alie the list and we listened to them all, made notes and worked the list down to three, deciding Jharda and Jambo Reign didn't really suit the look we were after.

The notes i made were these

• The Joe Public
  

Strong sound

Enthusiastic towards being

• An Honest Contradiction
  

Right look

Songs are kind of similar to each other

I know them personally

• Kids Love Lies
  

Right look

Energetic sound

• Jharda
  

Powerful music but not the right sound

Not the right look

• Jambo Reign

Good sound

Well recorded

To old

Well recorded

Varied songs

After this we chose one song from each band and played them to Kirk and Mike and between us we decided Kids Love Lies had the best sound for what we wanted. the song we chose was 'Count in my head' as it was very up beat and energetic
