GYO Upload Two Press Release








For Immediate Release June 2008
Grow Your Own Upload-Vol.2 Pulls in the fans!


Nineteen fresh new bands have been selected for the next volume of Foghorn
Records 'Grow You Own-Upload' series for 2008. Following its Itunes Exclusive
release, a run of showcase nights have begun to promote the artists featured on
the new compilation leading up to the official National retail release to all
good record stores via MGM in July.

After a successful Launch at the Metro in May (filmed by Scout TV
www.scouttv.com.au) the Upload Two bandwagon has completed 4 shows in three
states & all sold out or very close to it - Sydney shows included Spectrum and
the Cat and Fiddle, Adelaide punters turned out for the Wheatsheaf show and
Darwin played host to a great night as well. Many of the bands featured on the
compilation have since appeared on Scout TV in their own right as well and Drum
Media profiled three of the bands just last week.

There is good crossover of Interstate bands performing to a new audience with
Zenith capitalising on the CD Inclusion to back their East Coast Tour, fellow NT
act Roymaconkey attending the launch and playing the first Sydney show that
week, Dead Beat Club travelling from Melbourne to perform at Spectrum and other
Sydney venues while Squeaker from SA will be rolling up the highway to play at
the Cat and Fiddle next month. Central Coast band Bear at the Door (featured in
Drum Media last week) travelled down for the Spectrum show as well, while South
Coast boys The Conspiracy Plan will come north later in year for a Sydney show.


With plenty more shows to come including Perth, Melbourne, Byron Bay, Brisbane
and Sydney don't be shy about coming along and checking out the next crop of
Australia's up and coming artists........full dates below
