NWB - Community Blog

Sounds great! Congratulations!

Big time baby, big time. Sounds like you boys need to transplant over there and start living the life. What was that Nickleback song?............

selling CDs???? OMG i KNEW we forgot to bring something to the party!!

why you so surpirsed! from what i can see youve tailored every aspect of your music to be a blatant homage/pastiche on this genre. this is the homeland of your type of music if you cant make it there then heaven knows where you would!! americans are xenophobic when it comes to music and 90% of middle americans just wanna hear the same thing theyve heard day in day out since they were kids. by fitting this mould and adopting the stereotype in presenting yourselves etc your gonna make some kind of impact, surely? to summarise i wish you the best of luck but at least try and do something original if you do make it, i mean "sleazy hussy fever" come on lads surely youve got better song titles than that!!

Very Very defensive Mr Hoth ...... by all means trumpet your achievements over this forum.. but don't take the piss out of other folks on here. I reckon The Fix were merely stating that you are were you should be given your exhaustive self promotion (no criticism there mind).

However given your respone to the NWB Showcase ("Elias.T.Hoth are potentially interested in supporting the NWB Show case event! How many bands will be playing?) I never expected to find you appearing on the bill. And I was right (for whatever reason).

Each to their own.

Re - The Fix. wow - easy tiger!
Room for us all on here.
Elias - brilliant stuff - shout it out to the world, theres an immense amount of effort thats gone in to your achievements so far. Lets hope the ball keeps rolling.

Cheers
Steve.

p.s. if you're going to champion a genre ...... spell correctly eh? Lynyrd Skynyrd I believe you'll find is the correct spelling.

Yes, it does matter! you think a roling stoans tribute band would get anywhere??
Willow yet again

Wow interesting comments.

I love the fact that Elias is totally driven and has huge belief in the music. That's really to be respected, but "Potentially interested" in "Supporting" the showcase, that's a bit of a too full on for my liking, and perhaps makes you look somewhat arrogant.

If you are a full time musician then I could understand you may need to have a higher level awareness for what and where you commit, but otherwise, maybe be a bit more open to the idea of showcasing your band and meeting other NWB users.

I went and it was nice to meet some of the bands I've seen on here.

Good luck with the radio play though guys, I honestly have my fingers crossed for you.

................... having said all that Mr Elias T Hoth

(are you a band or a person by the way??? ( website : Elias .T. Hoth has been writing his own original material and performed in and around the UK rock and blues scene for more than a decade.
But now at last the final deliverance of his new album “LET SLEEPIN DEMONS LIE” ............

...... i'd come and watch you if you were local and I was free
wtf

Congrats Elias, and the rest of the band. You deserve it, the album is kicking. .

As for the rest, nothing wrong with self promotion, Keep at it chaps.
Don't all get so wound up fellas. Its just some good old Rock N Roll.

Congrats... I heard you on rock fm and I admired your music however, the vocals didn't cut the music..... But I only heard the winning song duh... X

good luck guys.. will look out for you up colne and say hi... if i can get near past all the groupies :p

hey the hoth we wont be at the blues fest as we avoid it like the plague, it used to be a gr8 event but is now a bit lacklustre and lost all of the edge that it used to have. in recent years the crowds have dwindled and unless this year is a real turnaround i cant see it lasting more than maybe next two years, i hope im wrong tho!
my initial comment was meant to be a congrats (in a way!) i just dislike bands that try to be something their not and if im honest as much as i love music in general one thing that really turns me off is "southern fried boogie" and grown english men in cowboy hats! but i do wish you the best!!
i must confess i had just come in from the pub a little worse for wear and maybe had my bullish, confident head on! i do stand by my comments but maybe couldve worded them better!

hey have i just felt the wroth of the hoth?

thats your second album title right there sir!

"the wroth of the hoth"

you dont need to thank me!!

My favourite is : Drop it like its hoff
haha!!

just as an aside... how come "The Fix" are "fixed" to the homepage and not some kinda of rotation system?? same with the venue?

i thought a rotator may be a good idea?? pic on the way lol

I vote a small banner for the Hoth as well to show the NWB love!

lol

hey steelfield why you have to go and spoil our fun of being on the frontpage! you jealous?? haha only kidding im surprised we've lasted so long on there!

lol @ ben

we all know who you guys are now surely?? no one knows us yet ;-)

fair play guys! as the old saying goes "if you dont ask, you dont get!"
looking forward to seeing you guys up there!

THE FIX...a drunken man always tells the truth!
You should be ashamed of yourself in not supporting a northwest band that maybe, just maybe on the brink of big time. Noticed you've done alot of backpedalling since.What makes you so good anyway?What qualifies you to make such comments? I'll tell you what, jealousy, pure and simple. You're obviously so up your own arse that you are blinded by ignorance.As for self promotion, well its a good job that bands do it, because if we were all as jealous and ignorant and as self righteous as you my friend, nobody would help anybody 'make it'.
Get off your soapbox, you ignoramus, and accept that there are, and always will be, better bands, better musicians and better people out there than you.
And no, I havnt just come in from the pub.

Uh Oohh someones got themeselves in a bit of a flap....ah ahh... calm down flapper... this site alows freedom of speech, we are allowed an opinion, chillax man, hang loose..

@Trouserflapper

lol @ "Get off your soapbox ... " from a guy on one of them huge family size boxes of Persil .... made me laugh that!
(doesn't take much I know)
