Christmas Compilation & 2012 Year RoundUp!
We're about to hang-up our PR hats for the year as we reflect on a successful 2012 year here at ABoF HQ. We started the year event managing a party for HP and Last.fm featuring David Guetta on the decks, we then found ourselves managing Doug Stanhope's campaign for his latest DVD - Before Turning the Gun on Himself - and spent the rest of the year working on an array of brilliant bands and labels.
To get you into the festive spirit, we asked some of our roster to cover their favourite Christmas songs. The 405 featured the compilation exclusively on their site but each track is now available to download via our Soundcloud page.
Many of our bands also released some fantastic videos this year, we've condensed them into this playlist below.
The playlist includes:
- Me And My Drummer - "You're A Runner"
- Pipers - "Ask Me For A Cigarette"
- Hiva Oa - "Badger"
- The Birthday Suit - "Less Worthless Years"
- The Murder Barn - "Harvest"
- Three Blind Wolves - "Parade"
- Turnpike Glow - "1986"
- Vigo Thieves - "Heartbeats"
- Death Rattle - "The Dig"
- Algernon Doll - "Spiral Sounds"
- Fat Goth - "Creepy Lounge"
- Humphrey Milles - "Not Enough"
- Jo Mango - "The Black Sun"
- Knifeworld - "Clairvoyant Fortnight"
- State Broadcasters - "Trespassers"
- The Maginot Band - "Slow Down Sundial"
- The Unkindness of Ravens - "The Spaces In Between"
- The Jar Family - "Broken Minded"
- Shirock - "New Solution"
- Daniel Inouwa - "Lay Now"
If you'd like to hear our most recent free downloads, always check our Soundcloud page. Recently, The Maginot Band, Johnny & The Giros and Algernon Doll have released brilliant free tracks available to download now.
So, now you've seen and heard with your eyes and ears what we've been up to in 2012, what's in store for next year we hear you ask! You know us, we're going to be busy as ever. We're planning on relaunching ABoF TV at some point next year as well as taking on board some exciting new bands - Homework, The Caulfield Beats and Artifacts. Scottish based label Olive Grove and our favourite German label dudes Sinnbus will be releasing more brilliant records as well as some of the current acts on our roster.
We'll have more news for you all in 2013 but for now, we'd like to say a massive thank you to the magazines, websites, freelancers, bloggers, radio producers and DJs who've supported us and our bands this year.
If there are any bands, musicians or comedians out there wanting to find out more about what we do, please get in touch with us at info@abadgeoffriendship.com.
