Another good band have split up!

Yourcodenameis:milo last night announced they're to split up after a 5 year and 4 album career. Read on for a statement from the band...

The following message was posted on their forum:-

YOURCODENAMEIS:MILO R.I.P

To All..

After 5 years and 4 wicked cool records, we have decided to put yourcodenameis:milo on an indefinite hiatus.

We are all exceptionally proud of all we have achieved as a band, but feel it is time to move on and explore new paths both musical and non musical.

We are eternally grateful to everyone who supported us through it all, came to the shows, bought the records...plus all the bands we played with and the people we met along the way.

We hope it meant as much to you as it did to us.

cheers for being there.

Justin, Paul, Adam, Ross, Shaun.

Hey there everyone. Guess someone needs to show some love to the blog, so it's the perfect opportunity to use it as a basis for a feature of sorts. Somewhere that our loving webmaster/editor Bob doesn't have to work his fingers to the bone creating and editing .php for it. He likes it really though... masochist....

So this is a little thing I'd like to call Theirspace. It first featured on the ill fated/underground (delete as applicable) radio show I ran on Wave of Oscillation. It's a regular look at the world of MySpace and the bands that populate it - of course to discuss all the bands on MySpace would take forever. No, hopefully by coming here you can take a look at five bands who's work I've come across and enjoyed each week. There are ground rules to this, however;

Bands, PR Companies, even casual readers of the site. Two important things to put forward:

1) We are hoping to launch a Podcast/Streaming Audio show in the near future. However, we would rather not want to play chance with the law, so do not be alarmed if you at some point recieve and e-mail asking for permission to be included. If you really would like to be part of a happening Podcast the by all means write to the usual address:

2) We don't charge a thing, we don't have needless pop ups and at no point did we sell any part of the site for advertising or any other kind of shill. We would hope, however, that if you've been reviewed or even love coming to read the reviews at find out how bad Rod's New Car could get - very soon there will be banners available for use. Oh please, oh please, find it in your hearts to add them to you're website, you're MySpace account (Hell, if you include us in your' Top 8 you could win a prize) or even as part of your signature at any forums you visit, we would really appreciate those gestures.

Anyway - now I can use the blog, expect "TheirSpace" features to appear shortly!

Whilst out last night I saw a quite decent solo artist by the name of Jason Wakefield, otherwise known as Scarlett Rivers. I won't be doing a review of the night but I just wanted to say that this guy was really good. Here is his MySpace:

As I said, he is a solo artist. He plays the piano like some kind of crazy guy (much like Matt Belamy really), anyway you should give him a listen.

As you may notice, I've changed the theme the rawkstar blog uses. Now it has these small entries called 'quickies' (wordpress people call them asides, I prefer calling them quickies). So, you may now see more random small comments from the team here!
