A debate occurred about the merits or lack thereof of the Surface Unsigned ‘Battle Of The Bands’ competition in March. Two months later, Surface Unsigned themselves have (rather than attempt to defend themselves or put across their own point of view) attempted to get the post deleted by means of a decidedly spurious looking legal threat.

Now that’s not how we behave, is it?

For more detail, see what the three Created In Birmingham guvnors Chris, Danny and Pete have to say about it.

Pete, being me, went to see Mike in Mono, The Courtesy Group, Calvados Beam Trio, Scott H Biram, Kling Klang and the Black Diamond Heavies at the Hare and Hounds.

And Dunc went to see Los Campesinos! at the Custard Factory.

If we’re 21st-ing, we should also note that The Baron went to see Flamboyant Bella, Big Ice Gem and Bi-Polar Baby at The Bar Academy.

Rich Batsford attended the very same gig.

As did Tom.

Ben turned this whole thing transatlantic by going to see !!! and Lioness at Toronto Opera House.

Russ L went to the Oxjam benefit gig at The Island Bar.

Tom wrote about his Thursday gig in two posts, one for Jenny Owen Youngs and another for Jim White.

Pete made a more audio-visual report of the aforementioned.

The Baron, meanwhile, grooved on down with The Rumblestrips and The Answering Machine at Birmingham’s Academy 2.

Jez went to the same gig, too.

Rich Batsford went there, as well.

And Andy Pryke, he was there.

Pete went but copped out slightly with a pathetic excuse.

Dunc also did the Town Hall thing on his new blog.

What did Tom go to see? You guessed it.

mp3 blogger Dean was also there and, as you’d expect, his review has sounds.

Baron, in a completely unexpected turn of events, was yet another attendee.

More, more! Hang those who talk of less. Post any links in the comments.
