Broccoli Events – Bands for Brands

Being known as an events company with a strong music background is great. We get all the latest industry tips on bands that are making waves in the UK music scene.
This is fantastic for brands working with us at Broccoli as we offer them access to cutting edge bands to perform at their events and the kudos that goes with it claiming they had the band that just broke into the big time.
We’ve identified an avenue for brands to tap into the youth market and it’s through this ability to work with breaking bands, connect directly with their fans, creating online content through video and photography which then has the ability to go viral continuing the event/product promotion which is truly invaluable.

This is our latest hot tip…

Gary Heaney (Drums/Backing Vocals)

“Our immediate aim is to keep making great music and to play some summer festivals that would be awesome especially if we can get TITP, but looking along the horizon I think we all wanna make that great debut album, one that sits in everyone’s top 50 greatest albums list forever..that’s the bigger ambition”.

Modern Faces are a 5 piece band from Dunfermline, Scotland who take their influences from the 60’s and their attitude & swagger from the 90’s.
They’re Inspired by the likes of The Stone Roses, Oasis & The Verve and their aim is to throw some attitude back into British music and produce a few top-drawer, anthemic, stomping albums along the way!

Since forming they have gathered a massive hometown following and proved this by playing to a 900 strong sell-out crowd at Dunfermline’s Velocity in April of 2010, as well as consistently selling out pj mollys very intimate 350 capacity venue.

They released their EP ‘No Mans Land’ in April of 2010 which attracted the ears of many within the industry.

The band have supported the likes of Shed Seven, Starsailor and playing the Primal Scream after show party in Brixton in March 2011.

“Its just gone crazy, we’ve been asked back to play Liverpool Sound City Festival for a second year running, we’ve got Festival dates popping up all over the country playing with the likes of Mystery Jets, Beardyman, The Rifles, traveling with our own crew, meetings with lawyers all stuff we hadn’t expected so quickly and then a couple of weeks back Gary and i (Monty) took a call outside Beady Eye and it was Tom Meighan on the phone asking if we’d like to support Kasabian on their pre Festival 2011 warm up tour in Sheffield at the 02 Academy on 4th June and in Manchester at the 02 Apollo on 8th June , we were gob smacked and thought it was a complete wind up but its all real and we’re loving it right now so onwards and upwards”.

“Modern Faces remind me of us when we were young, ready and willing to do anything for the thrill of being in a rock n roll band, there highlanders”
Tom Meighan, Kasabian
