The Neil Campbell Collective Play at The Launch of Sonica Music Web Site

The NCC will be playing at the launch of the new Sonica music web site at Bumper (Hardman Street, Liverpool) on Thursday 3rd April from 9pm. Also playing that evening will be The Great Northwestern Hoboes, The Mojave Collective and The Grand Architects.

The web site Sonicaonline.co.uk enables artists to sell their tracks using advanced new media technology. Musicians can register with Sonicaonline.co.uk free of charge and start selling their music instantly by uploading tracks and allowing web users to purchase and download their material. Unlike sites like MySpace.com, artists using Sonicaonline.co.uk can name their own price for music they sell through the site as long as it's more than 25p per track. Many of Neil's solo tracks and the NCC's first album '3 O'Clcok Sky' are available for mp3 download at the site.

Robbie Welsh, Managing Director of Sonicaonline.co.uk and former music student at Liverpool University, said: "The music industry is experiencing very exciting times thanks to the advances in new technology. Artists are able to get their music heard in lots of different ways, it's no longer just about signing to a big record label."

"There's a wealth of musical talent in this city and it's rather fitting that we're launching during our Capital of Culture year. Through Sonicaonline.co.uk, we aim to help local artists enhance their profile and enable them to start earning money from their talents."

The Neil Campbell Collective Play Late at Tate

On Thursday 27th March 2008 The Neil Campbell Collective will play a special set as part of a Late at Tate evening themed 'Abstraction to Distraction' taking place at Tate Liverpool (Albert Dock, Liverpool).

The full event will take place from 6pm starting with a talk by Michael Craig Martin (Rules and Repetition). Michael Craig Martin was a huge influence on the generation of Young British artists (he taught Damien Hirst at Goldsmiths).

Following the talk, at around 7.30pm throughout the Gallery and in the large foyer area there will be a selection of contemporary music and performance art 'happenings'. These will be followed by a 45 minute set from The NCC at around 8.15pm.

Admission is free for the gig, although there is a small fee for the talk (which you will need to pre-book if you intend to attend).

See Tate Liverpool's website for more information.
