About Me |
|
We are a promotions company based in Croydon and put on and host a number of gigs in and around London and also much further a field. This group is designed to keep everyone up to date with the events and gigs we are hosting. A little bit of background............ Rock Riot started as a means to put on gigs in Croydon for The Tunics, who are from Selsdon. Owing in no small part to Rock Riot, The Tunics are now signed to Manta Ray Music, have recently secured a publishing deal and their album will be out by the summer. Gigs were put on frequently and in as many places as possible in order to secure as much interest as possible. We have hosted sold out events venues around London (Barfly, Waterats, Metro, The Fiddlers Elbow etc) and a string of all-age shows at Selsdon Community Hall. We have also held sold out events at the Newcastle Carling Academy, York University, Leeds University and Bournemouth University. While the company began with The Tunics as its focal band, we have been fully committed to creating a ‘scene’ and striving to find bands which match and exceed our established bands. Thus we reached a position extremely quickly where the night sold itself rather than needing to put several conflicting styles of music on, in order to guarantee attendances. The motto is ‘One Crowd’ and we have stuck to this mantra for nearly 3 years. Then at the start of last summer we started hosting gigs in Warlingham, both private and for charity, and these events were a huge success. We also put on shows at the Charles Cryer Theatre in Carshalton and the summer culminated with our all day, two stages, and 18 band festivals in Warlingham, which got a several page write-up in Wired magazine. We also began to manage a few of the bands we put on at these shows, and the Croydon scene began to start growing, with a flurry of new bands forming and playing for Rock Riot. We now have acoustic and electric residencies at the Edge Bar in South Croydon, which are very popular, and we have recently secured a residency at the Black Sheep Bar, where we plan to begin the next step in our fostering of a local scene. We have contracted both The Littl'ans (Whose Single ‘Their Way’ Featured Pete Doherty) and Yeti (featuring John Hassel of The Libertines) to play these nights (bands who are both very well known in the indie music world), and by having local Croydon bands support them we hope to gain national press coverage for our local scene. |
