Twenty Twenty Shock Support Revealed

It was revealed last night that James Bourne will be supporting Twenty Twenty on tour in October with his solo project Futureboy. This follows the speculation after the twitter 'bromance' formed in recent weeks.

In no discreet terms, Bourne tweeted "twenty twenty am I allowed to tell everyone im supporting you on tour yet?" confirming everyone's suspicions. This will be seen as very good news for fans who have always wished to catch a glimpse of their Busted/Son Of Dork hero. It has already gained Twenty Twenty much support also, boosting their ticket sales.

Bourne's album can be downloaded at www.futureboy.com and tickets for Twenty Twenty can be purchased from the venues, telephone or online. All tour information is contained in the Facebook event HERE.

Example - Last Ones Standing VIDEO

We wouldn't usually include an already established artist on here, but Example is such a wicked guy and part of the ridiculously strong British urban music scene at the moment.

LAST ONES STANDING:



Following the success of Won't Go Quietly and previous single, the club anthem Kickstarts, Example is back with new single Last Ones Standing. His tour is already sold out on most of the dates. A great guy, I also strongly recommend following him on twitter.

The Broadcast

I have personally seen The Broadcast a fair few times and the pop rock quartet are a strong recommendation. A band that gig tirelessly and visibly put their all into every show, The Broadcast have supported bands such as The Mission District, Twenty Twenty and My Passion as well as selling out venues on their debut headline UK tour back in April, which was followed up with a successful June tour. With ridiculously infectious tunes, their sets are packed with a passion and energy on a scale rarely seen by other bands and have secured The Broadcast an army of loyal fans. However, while progressing onto bigger and better things all the time, the band remain some of the most down-to-earth and lovely guys you could meet.

Party! Party! live at O2 Academy 2 Islington in April.

The band are currently writing new material. They have dates coming up with The Gap Year Riot, Go-X, Attack! Attack! and Dopamine. Tickets for their Newcastle show with The Gap Year Riot on 23rd August can be bought HERE. Check their myspace for dates in October and December.
