We don’t need an excuse to get festive!

We’ve had many a pumping night of quality live music by female fronted acts and December is no different. Blues/roots fave poster girl “Genevieve Chadwick” will be joined by the divine “Maxine Kauter Band” and acoustic aviator “Pilot Darcy” for the last YMP for 2011.

As many of you already know, it has been a big year for Genevieve Chadwick blitzing many a festival show including Sydney Blues Festival, Bendigo Blues Festival and Woodford Folk Festival just around the corner. We’re always stoked when Gen is in town in time for a YES MA’AM PRESENTS and she’s ready to heat up the vibe for the December edition.

Another act I have been dying to get on the bill is the exquisite Maxine Kauter Band. These guys won me over at first sight at my local, Beach Road Hotel, years ago. They have since stunned my musical pants offa me at the Chick Boom Band Comp and other gigs around town that I’ve managed to catch. Being a huge lover of Neko Case, dexterous double bass and driving rhythms, MKB have all the finest ingredients in my mind making them one of Sydney’s top alternative acts.

Last but not least, acoustic soloist, Pilot Darcy will share some of her gorgeous songs, sung complete with heavenly vocals and interspersed with delicate rhythms to soothe even the most weary Christmas shopper. Her obscure commentaries in amidst her melodies will no doubt leave you laughing and feeling a little grateful for your extra luck in the sanity department!

And of course, it’s my birthday drinks. Yes Ma’am, it’s true, so another excuse to come on down, take advantage of the “no door charge policy” and eat, drink and be merry as the festive season approaches!

Seeking female artists/producers for Remix Project!!

So I’m guessing you’re a chick, you like the production side of things, remixing other’s tunes, tweaking loops and tracks. Then Bo Banta and I have the perfect oppportunity for you.

In late July we will have wav. files from Bo Banta’s debut EP to share and will be calling for remix submissions.  We will choose 5 remixes to be released on the EP with the original songs. We’re also looking for a variety of all styles, so don’t feel limited to an electro, or house remix. Bo Banta are full of creativity and want you to feel free to explore and have fun with your remix/es.

Now what’s in it for you?

Firstly those chosen will receive the full benefits of being included on an EP that will be heavily promoted and publicised with launch shows and tour across East Coast of Australia in 2011 and later Canada in 2012. I hope to secure a bigger name  female artist to contribute a remix – which will be a bonus for all of us!

And even if we receive loads of entries, those not added on the EP will be available on Bo Banta’s website as a free download with links to your sites. We’re all about supporting other women in music and will promote you in whatever ways we are able to.

So please email me with “Bo Banta Remix” in the title, or fill in deets below, and I’ll make sure you’re kept in the loop ’til the loops are passed on!!

Thanx,

Sin
