The internet is sooooo vast that it’s nye on impossible to be aware of all the truly great music websites out there. Lucky for us then, that the founder of the fairly new Bandstand Busking got in touch a few days ago to tell us all about the video delights they have for the discerning music lover. i.e: You.
So what is Bandstand Busking? Well, it’s kinda like Blackcab Sessions and Takeaway Shows. A ridiculously hip indie band gets asked to perform a few tracks in weird and wonderful locations (in this instance, yup, you guessed it - on bandstands).. There are some fantastic videos up on the site at the moment.. We’ve compiled a few of the best below but we truly recomend you got forth and check the whole lot out. They’re great.
The Wave Pictures - David’s Evening On Wheels
Frightened Rabbit - Backwards Walk
Laura Groves - Coast
The Acorn - The Flood pt 2

In theory, this is a great idea. Get a bunch of known alternative bands to do a cover version for CD1, then get them (and some record labels) to recommend a bunch of ‘new’ bands, and fill CD2 with songs by said recommendations. In theory.
In the wider context, Independents Day 08 was a worldwide event raising money for the independent music community, as well as some charities, which included the largest ever auction of independent music memorabilia on eBay, a series of one-off music shows and retrospectives across TV and radio, plus this CD. Its all very worthy, and you can check out more details at www.independentsday08.com
