(PRWEB) September 5, 2005 -- Up and coming new bands will get a live DVD of themselves, and free webstreaming of the video of one of their songs, for playing at band nights with new multimedia company LiveMusicX.
Bands can book a slot to play at the eXchange, Grove Street, Edinburgh on one of LiveMusicXs video shoot nights. A crew of four, using broadcast quality cameras, records each bands performance, mixed live straight onto DV. The recorded songs can be previewed instantly after the performance and copies of the DVD will be with the band within seven days. There will also be a flexible range of web hosting options on the LiveMusicX website (http://www.livemusicx.com/) and selected footage will be submitted to WAM TV!

Director Richard Brown says, This is a great opportunity for new bands to showcase their talents, at a very reasonable -- potentially zero - cost. Gone are the days of bands recording an audiocassette, or even more recently CD recordings, and then hawking this around pubs, agents, promoters, or record companies. Bands who come through us will leave with a professionally recorded and mixed live video recording -- but the killer step forward is that we can host clips of their live performance on our website, which stream very fast, and the band then simply emails the url out to agents, pubs etc who can see them instantly! Simple! This way, they can get national, even worldwide exposure through LiveMusicX, without having to post CDs all over the place, at great expense, and with the strong chance that they will just gather dust at the other end anyway".
We have already trialed the process and the feedback from bands has been terrific -- check the website where there are ten or so bands up already."
The recording will cost each band 195, but the deal includes 40 tickets, to give away or sell to friends. If the band sells the tickets on to their mates for 5 or so each, they can completely finance the bands video recording - its almost a form of sponsorship" - and they get a home-crowd atmosphere, and will certainly play better as a result. The sound recording is great too -- taken off the mixing desk."
We will be offering closed-doors live recording services to signed and touring bands, but obviously that will be a more sophisticated service, usually during the day, with the opportunity for retakes etc, to get it just right. The same can be done for tribute bands -- which need to be seen to look-alike, as well as sound-alike."
We will also do live videos of established, touring bands who want to promote themselves with a DVD or have a live DVD as merchandise, and we can cater for higher profile bands wishing to release a live video recording for TV, Web or as additional footage for an album release"
Its a great new service for music in Scotland. Our next video shoot night is 24th September and has The Hedrons headlining, with The Word, Indafusion, Yahoo Serious and Discipline".
The eXchanges venue manager says As if its not enough to play at a venue with some of the best facilities in Edinburgh bands can now get a LiveMusicX DVD of their set. The quality and speed of the service is second to none, and I believe this will prove a success for any band who gets filmed. Even better is the deal LMX are offering, to get all this for free if you sell only 40 tickets is unbelievable and I expect massive interest in this venture"
