For anyone that's missed it (an acceptable form of spam
):
Ok, so here's the thing - the upcoming Western Front Compilation CD is a not-for-profit promo album showcasing a heap of WA metal talent and a few eastern states bands as well. Thousands of them will be handed out at the Perth Soundwave show, and as such will be massive exposure for the bands on it, and the local metal scene in general.
Wade has gone to a lot of effort to collaborate with the bands, sort out the cd and organise the fundraising shows and the launch for it. He doesn't deserve to be out of pocket for his galant efforts so get your arse down to the Civic hotel this Friday and support the cause, especially the people too weak to make it to the first fundraiser.
If this goes without problems, the idea was for next year to make it an even bigger thing, and to have them circulated at every Soundwave around the country. So if you are in a metal band, even if you're not on the disc this time, support the scene and maybe it will be your music getting stuffed into the hand of thousands around the country.
If you like any of said bands, or Australian metal in general, then you too should join the cause. All you have to do is attend a gig, you'll get to see a bunch of great bands for your troubles.
