MADINA LAKE have joined forces with Atticus, their management and their booking agent to give up and coming UK bands the chance to open their shows on their forthcoming UK tour.
The band will hit the UK next week and are inviting submissions from bands in and around each town / city they are playing to open their local show:
"It took years of blood sweat and tears just to get Madina Lake an opening slot on a Sunday at Metro in Chicago. Every time a national touring band was coming through, all the local bands we're like piranha on a skirt steak trying to get on the bill. It rarely happened but in the one or two instances that we got the show, it immensely helped our profile. Many years later, Madina Lake is lucky enough to be in a position to provide this opportunity to new bands. It gets really political and crazy with booking agents, managers, labels etc..vying for slots on a decent tour, but Madina doesn't play that game. We want new bands, local to the city we'll be playing, to have a chance to get in front of an audience and do their thing. Thanks to everyone involved in allowing us to do this, Atticus, 5BAM mgmt and Ross Warnick at Agency Group and most importantly, to the bands that want it. Good luck, see you out there!"
