Newcastle Music: What’s New?
Happenings on the music side of things in Newcastle…
First, some free music…
Budgewoi’s When The World are offering free special acoustic version of their new song Skeletons. You can get it on their Facebook page.
They’re joined by local thrash metal heads Sabretung who are giving away a free digital download of their album Conquest with every shirt or CD purchase. You can buy them here.
The Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold is also on the free bandwagon, dropping a free 3 song solo EP on the band’s Twitter account yesterday. You can download it here.
And potentially free music…for Newcastle Uni students. The U is running a Golden Ticket competition - the winner will get a ticket to every U event in 2011. This includes a ticket to Beach Party, Frenzal Rhomb, Boy + Bear, Propaghandi, Autonomy Day and all the other gigs they book through the year. Entry details are on their Facebook page.
