Surface Festival Semi Final

Next week marks The Sharp Darts' first full band gig since May. We've been holding out for this one because it's big. It's the Regional Semi Final of Surface Festival and getting through will get us on the main stage of the O2 Academy.

Not only does this round give us a chance of playing a venue we'd all love to play, but puts us one step closer to some great prizes and will give us more chances to play in front of professionals from the industry that could really give us some exposure.

That's before you even consider playing in front of more people, if the Asylum is even half full next Saturday (16th July) then this will be our biggest gig to date.

We've been working really hard on new songs and old to put a great set together that you're gonna love. Get yourself a ticket from one of us and bring all your friends (it's £1 extra on the door and we wont get paid for it, so buy a ticket beforehand if you can).

If you're unable to make it, or even if you can, you can also show your support by texting "Midlands 3014" to 64343. Every text bags us an extra point. You can text multiple times. (Please note: 16+. Texts cost £1.00 plus standard network charges. Please get permission from the bill payer. Customer services: festival@surfaceunsigned.c?o.uk or contact us on 0800 434 6076).

We need every point we can get this round, it'll be a judges decision on who makes it to the next round, but we have to be placed in the top few bands in order to get to the judges. So please send us a text vote (you can vote from now until the end of the gig).

Also playing will be Blindfire, None of These Are You, Culdesac, (Silver) Souvenirs and Dreamers Nightmares. Check them out online, I'll post links if I can find them!

If you want more details, head on over to facebook event page or click gigs on the righthand menu. We'd love to see you there, so grab a ticket and get texting! (Midlands 3014 to 64343 -  t's & c's above).
