Introducing... Acme Live
New, Swindon-based live event promoters
Thu 1 Sep 2011 07:31
Two weeks today, California's HIT THE SWITCH drop into Swindon as part of their Euro Tour. Support on the Swindon date of the Nitro Records punk's tour comes from Fast Motion (France), Our Time Down Here (Southampton), 2 Sick Monkeys and The Cold Harbour.

80p per band, signed artists, American and French bands, the best local hardcore/punk bands... all in one room on one night?!? No brainer, SURELY!

If you're keen to see more diverse, original and interesting bands coming to the town (along with the best of local talent of course), this show needs your support. We're non-profit making, so any money that's made after paying costs goes straight back into bringing bigger bands to Swindon more often.

It's that simple: the more shows you come to, the more shows there will be. We can't do this without YOU.

So, we're rounding off a great first 8 months with our end of year show at The Furnace, featuring: The Dead Lay Waiting, The Hotel Ambush, ITAOL and Burials. Should be a great show. It's this Friday (16th December).

2012 is already looking VERY interesting indeed, both with the shows we've got confirmed and others we're hoping to confirm shortly.

Just wanted to thank all the bands that have played any of our shows, all the venues and other promoters who've helped along way and every single person that's come out to a show and lent their support to the bands and what we're trying to do in Swindon.
