Happy Easter!
Hello all new and existing fans of Dishy Tangent. Its been a while since we took time out to update our blog, and believe us we have been working harder than ever. 2019 has been filled with new experiences and opportunities for us and we have had a lot of fun rising to the challenge.
January 14th Motion, Bristol
We made a return to one of our favourite spots to play for Bristol 365 and Bristol Association of Restaurants Bar's and Independent Establishments and the world's 16th Best Nightclub, Motion. We played a storming set filled with Bristol's favourite tunes plus a few new tracks. Check our faceook page for photos and video from the event.
February and March 2019
We made our debut on UK National TV by featuring The Big Narstie Show, which broadcast on Channel 4. Thanks to Dice Recordings we got our first taste of working on the award winning show hosted by Big Narstie and Mo Gilligan. In total we featured in 3 episodes with Big Narstie, Laville, Mundu and Donae'o and got to rub shoulders with some of the celebrity guests! Shortly after wrapping the show, we heard the news that the show has also been nominated for a BAFTA. Now thats pretty amazing for a show thats been running for less than a year, congrats to the team at Dice and Channel 4.
New Online Review: The Fochshole
We were contacted by a writer in the US who wanted to feature our music on his blog. We were pretty surprised to get the request, so we sent over a few bits and hey presto...heres the review:
March 29th, The Borderline, Soho, London.
As we had a lot of focus on our TV performances, we decided to team up with Loud In London and get back out there and play a show. It was our first show at the basement club, and we were proud to headline with fantastic support from Mark Wright and Ekkyl Jones. Head over to our Facebook page to watch the live stream from the gig. On the night Reason dropped some huge news about our next 2 shows..........which was pretty epic!!
April 5th and 6th - UB40 Ali, Astro and Mickey Tour support
So, we got some amazing news that we were joining The Gentlemen's Dub Club in supporting UB40 for 2 legs of their 40th Anniversary Tour. We were booked to play The Cardiff Motorpoint Arena on 5th April and The 02, London and 6th April. These shows were without doubt our BIGGEST shows to date with well over 20,000 tickets for both shows!! Needless to say, we had to be on top form to get the audience warmed up and the feedback on our work was immensely positive. We'll have photos and video up on our website soon, so be sure to check on www.dishytangent.com to see what's new.
Radio Play
We have been played regularly on KLFM's Loaded with Triston, Phoenix FM on Curveballs and Terri's Music Matters on EGH Radio. We've also had a mention on Eu Knows on RinseFM and we're in talks with stations to get the sound of Dishy Tangent out there more. Give us a shout if you know of any stations that should feature your favourite band.
Flat50 TV
We were invited to feature in an episode of the East London Arts and Music Show which broadcasts on Youtube. Now we've been working with Flat50 for a while now and we've regularly played their events at The Stags Head in Hoxton, King Eddies in Stratford, Red Yellow Blue in the East Village and most notably Live From The Lawn supporting The Beat in Bristol. We spent a few hours talking about our achievements over the last few years over a drink or two. The show premiers on Easter Monday at 7:15pm. Keep an eye on our social media for live links on the day.
