In The City 2009 is this weekend (18th - 20th October) at The Midland hotel and at venues througout the city centre. Started by Tony Wilson, ITC have been finding the next big thing for the past 18 years so that you can find your new favourite bands and the world's music industry can wax their budgets on signing them. It's one of the highlights of Manchester's music calendar and we recommend you get yourself a wristband and check out as much as possible...Our own Beat The Radar are playing Busk at The Garrat on Sunday 8.30pm & the Friends Of Mine showcase on the Monday at 7.00pm - get involved :-) Their new single '18, 19, 20, 21, 22' is out this week as well so it's all good. The rest of this year's ITC will feature showcases by NME (at Night & Day), BBC Introducing (at Moho), SJM Concerts (at Ruby Lounge), Front Magazine (at Roadhouse), Big Scary Monsters and Same Teens (Hatters Hostel), Now Wave, Friends of Mine, Bella Union, Murkage, Artrocker, Rock Sound and loads more with buzz bands like The Drums, Esben and the Witch, Frightened Rabbit, Unicorn Kid, MAY68, Egyptian Hip Hop, Hatcham Social, Gallops, Copy Haho, The Northwestern and hundreds more. Check out the times here
Wristbands for the full 3 days are only £20 and it's sure to be a hectic three days - get some time off work or lectures and prepare to see more bands and drink more booze than you ever thought possible....
