alive - 2017's Tour Of The Year
#ThisFeelingAlive - "It is our time as bands, and it's guitar music's time."
Representing the very best of the new classic British guitar bands, alive is This Feeling’s biggest national tour in its ten year history. This club has organically become the nation's No.1 live music event - literally for the many, not the few - and a guitar music's most vital landmark gig, because it comes from a place of passionate love from all involved.
Years of building an authentic, myriad-location, underground scene, come to a head.
Britpunk and rock music's newer wave of domination begins. In association with Metropolis Music, This Feeling is proud to present The Shimmer Band, The Blinders, BANG BANG ROMEO and BlackWaters - all very live on stage, and sparkling with global potential.
This fresh force variety show has been road tested in small venues, up and down the land. Every band have shown such ridiculous promise that they're already playing major festivals, developing huge presence rapidly, gaining credible support slots and have an infectious connection with ardent fans who really do FOLLOW their individual scenes.
There is mutual respect between them all and TF director, Mikey Jonns, who has created an expanding music family, on and off stage. You are all invited to be part of the alive tour. "It's like an introduction to This Feeling world." (Anastasia Walker, Bang Bang Romeo).
Fuse the above astounding talents, energy and love power into a four headed, Avengers Assemble type scenario. These are tickets to what literally is new music's Tour Of The Year. The importance of developing Star Turns can never be over stated. The impact that the UK's entertainment industry has, is key to our economy, education, social collusion and reputation. Above all, this is pure escapism, even for a few hours: "This isn't a gimmick. This is the new breed" (Thomas Haywood, The Blinders)

The bands united recently in London to create this guitar band renaissance tour WITH the organisers. This is all being done differently with uniting music at its heart. Bringing this movement ALIVE.
The bands did press and spent a (lively and fun) day hanging out together. They're already friends, anyway
That same evening, Bang Bang Romeo and Blackwaters were out rocking at the finale gig of The Shimmer Band's headline tour, supported by The Blinders and Sisteray. There were so many bands and "faces" repped at the sold out show, with around sixty people outside wanting in. "They are gonna need a bigger venue next time", said more than one exhilarated person after the wild scenes of elation eventually died down after the show. TheZineUK team are involved and ongoing witnesses to the joy of all four bands. Our photographer, Sandy K. Moz, got shots from this gig for Dizzy Spell's recent interview with The Shimmer Band.
alive bands say:
"We might all have different sounds as bands, but there's one thing we have in common. We really fucking care."
TheZineUK say: This is a game changer. Come on a ride with Broken Brexit Britain's Best Band Bonanza woven into the tapestry of our Once Upon Another Time. Stay tuned as #ThisFeelingAlive develops. There is too much to say in just one article. Consider this an introduction to four cultural heritage bands of 2017 and 2018 onwards. Updates; https://facebook.com/thisfeelinghq
