In The City 2003 @ Designer Magazine
Hi,
DESIGNER MAGAZINE has always been forward thinking when it comes to new music, whether it's been in our Manchester Unsigned column or one of the many bands we've decided to back when other publications have been too busy powdering their noses with the latest record exec who happens to want a front page feature on the Strokes, The Vines and White Stripes also rans that have plagued the covers of the national music press for the best part of two years now. Last year in an IN THE CITY Preview we featured The Darkness, Kinesis, The Raveonettes and The Crimea in a list of 15 bands you should look out for. In the space of the months following ITC three of them have gone on to have Top 40 hits and bands such as Jarcrew and Thoria who we also covered are building up a following through various support slots.
The Deadline for IN THE CITY UNSIGNED applications is August 1st 2003 with all successful entrants being notified by August 22nd 2003. This year were also asking any band who sends a demo into ITC to send one over to Designer Magazine as well for inclusion in a preview feature nearer the time of the event. As well as highlighting the best of the event itself we'll also be including the best of the bands that didn't make it so it's well worth the postage
