Failing that.....The Beatles!

Hands up who DIDN'T know this would happen? Lmao

The Foo Fighters

AYP

The Beatles

Well we'd certainly like to be considered for a gig, but we'll leave it up to you to decide how good we are!!

Cheers!

Strangeways,Best punk covers band out there.

OK, not to fuck about here, I'm going to put 5 names that I have actually seen into the pot. Only 5. If I leave you out it's not personal. For the twitchy, they are in no order either.

Kingpin
Metalleeka
Marauder
Hallowed
Catdog

well as yet we have not played anywhere in wigan, although we have played at almost every other town within a 30 mile radius, and you never know you might like us, why not have a listen on www.offtherails.me.uk they do seem to like us everywhere else we have played at.


cheers tony

Knowing the venue well and not dissin any other band, I would deffo put forward Kingpin fer this one !!!
Tex

Rock Nation and The Extras I can recommend..... Roadhog are pretty amazing too! ...ahem...

+ 1 for Roadhog and NT out of the ones I've seen. Can also VERY warmly recommend The Subliminals, Wrecked and Marauder if they're not already on your radar.

Frankie

Boneshaker are pretty damn good...... sometimes.

Fairly local for us too.

trying hard not to put something biased...

US !!

Green Day failing that Johnny Meerkat :0)

Well...
You've got the ultimate Punk rock experience on in August
You've got the best Punk covers band out there wanting a gig

So thats the Punk sorted...plus we're shite!

I recommend SKP.

Trying even harder not to put anything biased. lol

I've heard truly excellent things about BLACK ROSE! But sadly not had the chance to see em!

:)

The Lazzy Band .... don't know if they'd be interested tho

:0/

Poison Whiskey and Tex and the Hardcore Troubadors - as newly established bands (formed from experienced members of other bands who are active on here) and proven commodities they would be "ones to watch".

One in Ten also

I live in Wigan!

think that might swing it LOL

I work in Wigan... will that sway it?

How many people who have replied to this blog have been to or would support this venue?

Marauder floated my boat, book them.
Hallowed are regulars at the boulevard already..
Black Rose certainly do the Lizzy music justice.
NIB are simply class.
5th Element are a solid female fronted classic rock band.

I watched Metalleeka here before I joined, great town centre music venue. Not sure how the more commercial of bands would fair?

out on bail

My sat nav knows where Wigan is. Would that make a difference?

PINK FLOYDish = Class!!!!

Not much else to say ;o)

played there about 5 times with WFG when Col had it , aside form HOTD def Johnny Meerkat and Metaleeka , if I could choose any band or artist it would have to be the King .

In no particular order

Catdog
Catdog
Catdog
Catdog
and Catdog

Call me DIVA, India Mill, Beat Fiction, Lady Medusa, Filthy Four.

well I think they've enough to be going on with for now :D

Metalleeka

and its compulsory whoever plays there to shout hello cleveland as you load in down the tunnel at the back

So most people are voting for themselves ;)

Best wishes

John

Thanks for the kind recommendations, date agreed for Jan 2012

If I wrote a list of bands I'd recommend I'd end up missing an obvious one out and upsetting someone...and you all know how much I hate upsetting people...anyway nobodys recommended LGIT yet so you can all fuck off...ha ha...
We're booked in to play the excellent Boulevard for the first time on Saturday 27th August....really looking forward to it...

Thanks for the +1 Poundstone!

there's always a little band called Stonecycle ;)

Cheque's in the post Nic ;-)

The Power 3, get us Now while you can.

Well id like to say Out of Town, but we play The Boulevard twice a year, so i dont think we count!

Not sure about having Punk covered Dean, the lads and lasses in Wigan love their punk rock covers

Glad to see our old pals L.G.I.T have got a booking there, you will go down a storm chaps

More punk at The Boulevard please!!!

Keith

O-O-T

No probs Kevo. Just being honest!

I saw Roadhog about 4 / 5 years ago in Bolton (Chorley Old Road) and they fookin' "RAWKED"

...... Butchers Arms, just come to me,

Rick.

Played Boulevard with Tuskan several times - great venue.

Would love to play again with Black Rose or NIB

Plenty of really good bands out there - personal fav band is Bad Horsie - love these guys - put a smile on my face every time.

The Hicks
Los Vencidos

Saw the hicks on Friday they are one of the best bands I have ever seen. Also Los Vencidos are just a joy to watch

Oh and dont forget bout us haha

@OOT Keith - I sent them a PM yesterday as I don't have a phone no. & the one on their profile isn't working...so I'm just waiting for them to come back to me.

I agree more Punk would be great but wouldn't want to over-saturate a venue with the same type of music, although having said, since our recent gigs at Griffin Earlestown & Plough Chorley, we've had quite a few people asking us on our Facebook when we're playing closer to Wigan.

Hopefully we can sort something out.

Cheers
Dean

The Hicks are ACE Luke!!

PEOPLE HAVE ASKED US MANY TIMES TO DROP OUR CD IN AT YOUR PLACE BUT YOU SAID WE WERE TO EXPENSIVE AT 250 QUID WHY NOT TAKE A CHANCE THE CROWN AT DARWEN DID AND THEY HAVE BOOKED US 3 TIMES NOW AS WE PACKED THE PLACE WHEN THEY ADVERTISED ROCKABILLY TA BOB
