We are All Houses, a 4 piece band
from North Devon, we formed in 2002 combining our love of music and passion for
playing our instruments.
Starting off as a cover band gigging at private parties
and small events we gradually introduced our own music, which has a rocky powerpop
sound, and now have a vast set list of our own material which we have built upon.
Recording has also been a big part of our band as we are always keen for others
to hear our music, and have recently been recording in Rooster studio, London
alongside Nick Sykes. We have plenty of gigging experience but always want more!

National final Beckons
All Houses from North Devon have now made the regional finals, previously battling through rounds of auditions and a semi final live show to reach the regional final competition of Live and Unsigned 2008.
At this
moment, All Houses are one impressive performance away from making it to the grand
national final, taking place in London, in a bid to be crowned the UKs best
Live and Unsigned band or solo act of 2008.
Live and Unsigned is
a national music competition for unsigned bands and singers to compete live. It
stands as the biggest music talent search in the UK outside a certain ITV show.
The difference with Live and Unsigned is that the acts taking part are encouraged
to do their own thing; be individual, original, perform their own genre and style
Live.
Chris Grayston, Events Director of Live & Unsigned explains This
cannot be compared to any other talent searches as the acts talent is the show.
We are interested in discovering and exposing talent at its best; live! It is
as simple as we say Get Live, get signed.
One contestant who has evidently
caught their eye is local talent All Houses, now competing for a place in the
National finals, with the possibility of grabbing that break through recording
contract from over 10,000 that have applied for this years competition. The overall
adult winner of the competition wins a Recording and management contract with
Future Music with an investment of up to £20,000 to release their single
with Future Music.
If All Houses continue with their success, they could be crowned the UK's best Live and Unsigned act in front of a capacity crowd at Fairfield Halls, London on the 28th of June, including many professionals from within the music industry. They will be thrust into the media spotlight through television, radio and the press and furthermore all winners will all be invited on the UK Live and Unsigned Tour. The 2007 competition boasted ITV coverage and for 2008, Sky Television plan to film the regional and grand final, programmed to be broadcast with a weekly peak time show.
Dane Bowers, who anchored the R&B quartet Another Level, is a Judge comments; This competition gives everyone a great opportunity to show what they can do. Paul King from Future Music, who is better known in the music industry as the former Manager of Tears for Fears, Julian Cope, Level 42 and tour Manager for Genesis says We have found that the competition is so effective for us to discover talented acts and bands and to place them in the music market place. We can really see those acts that have the commitment and fan base to be successful in the industry and for the acts involved it is a great opportunity to develop, improve and impress.
All Houses will be competing amongst other talented hopefuls at the regional final show held at Bristol st Georges, on the 20th of April 08, for a place in the National Grand final.
