# Haha small world.
Where are your brother's bands from & what style are they?

I can check them out then possibly get them some radio play.

37 isn't ancient, at all ^_^

# S'funny world
When I was over I spent some time a floor or so away from ivesb and spent a fair chunk of time not far away from Widley (up in Purbrook)

Both bands play fairly heavy stuff. I understand Dropzone plays the heavier stuff (unfortunately I've blanked on what they play but I know they stopped playing Greenday after people kept calling them "the band that plays Greenday"). Stolen Goods go a bit lighter and aren't quite so polished. Stolen Goods is Portsmouthy based and Dropzone is more Chichester way.

I can't believe I'm blanking on what they play, I only saw them a few weeks ago. There was definitely some Rage Against the Machine and Slipknot.

They're supporting Tygers of Pan Tang in Brighton on the 20th.

# Where in Purbrook?
I'm sort of on the boundary hehe.

Howcome you moved away from round here?
I happen to think it's quite nice =]

# Well,
Unfortunately, to pull you back into awkward-space for a second, it was The Rowans. So not fun-happening-time I'm afraid.

I ended up moving away cause the weather is too depressing. Rain and cold I can handle but I need a bit of sunshine once in a while. I get that out here but it's also nice and green like England too. I do miss a good pint though.

Every time I go back, things seem to be worse though. House prices crazy high, roads too crowded, government getting too uppity. I'll always have a soft spot for England but I don't think I'll ever move back permanently.

# Ah, I see
That is just down the road though... There is a very small chance that our paths may have crossed.

Can kinda see what you mean about England's weather, but I personally don't really mind it.
The government/house prices/inheritance tax etc are all completely screwed though... so fair enough about that!

Do you have MySpace yourself?

# I do.
But to be honest, I don't use it much and have forgotten the link. I'll dig it out and gaz you with it.

# Not to worry. I need to sleep soon anyway
I sent you a message though.

# Ooh
They have a website. That makes things easy.

www.dropzone-band.com/

I think you'd like em from your myspace page.

# Wow, awesome
This certainly makes finding local bands for my radio show (I only help) easier!

Thanks =]

# Is the radio station
one I'd have heard of?

# It's Express FM
Portsmouth voluntary radio station...

The show I work on is called 'BD's Rock Show' or 'The Midweek Mosh Up' plus 'Thrashman's Mosh' incorporated into the show...

Quite a lot of local rock bands get played by BD and Thrashman, they're faaairly well known.

# I think
I might have stumbled across that when I was over

I moved out at the end of 2000 so am somewhat out of touch though.

Edit: Forget might have. I'm pretty sure the car radio spent much of its time tuned to that station.
