Since its inception on August 1st, UNSIGNED & UNLEASHED has featured 54 different unsigned rock bands. These include bands from Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, New Jersey, California, Brazil and Austrailia. The goal is to continue this tradition of featuring Iowa first, but also giving bands that are not getting support at home, a chance to be heard.We also have landed several bands on shows with national acts. A few of those included:
Illegal Smile with Royal Bliss
Hazer with Tantric
Austin Taft with Midnight To Twelve
Marcato with Shaman's Harvest
..and had our own UNSIGNED & UNLEASHED/ONLINE shows:
1/23/09 - Lost Nation / Freaklabel / Neumatic @ 1st Ave. Live
5/17/09 - Agony Of Defeat / Illegal Smile / Lost Nation /NeWickeDream / TenTonHalo @
Tornado's Grub & Pub parking lot for Houby Days
11/18/09 - Fighting Blind / Failure Of Progress @ Tornado's Grub & Pub
12/17/09 - Lost Nation / Agony Of Defeat @ Tornado's Grub & Pub
Alright, enough of what we've done. What are we doing for 2010 and beyond? We will continue to feature everything that we've done listed above, but we plan to expand our reach. I have my targets set on Des Moines, Minneapolis and Chicago to try and establish more contacts. I want to see Iowa bands work together to try and make this thing work. If we do not work together, it fails.
