piranha132 Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 Hello Everybody! Scene & Heard is now accepting submissions for its next issue due out later this fall. If you would like to write for us and already have an idea, or finished piece please send it to sceneandheard@canada.com If you haven't got a clue where to start, but are interested in covering events in your area, because, hey, you'll be there anyway, we want to hear from you. This takes no previous writing experience or talent, just a love for the music. Please include you full name and the city you live in. We're interested in... Some regular features like: -Concert and Show Reviews. 500-800 words. Please include setlist, venue, ticket price, date. We really appreciated Sean Swan's review of Prince in Hamilton in the last issue. Thinking outside the box is a must. -Festival Reviews. 1000-1200 words. Please include set list, venue, ticket, price and date. -CD Reviews. 500 words. Preferably new material, but our Vault Editor is always looking for a new way to discuss old greats. -Band interviews. If you've got an idea, a band, and an urge to write, drop us a line. Or if you're a band and want an interview, drop us a line. -Interest columns. 1000-2000 words. If you've got something to say about the scene, we're interested. Good or bad, as long as you have a critical eye, and discerning taste, Scene & Heard is always looking for fresh angles. -Feature pieces. Much of the above can be previewed in great feature items, if people are inclined to cover such events. Suggestions welcome. -Letters to the editor about our past issues. 300 words. Try to keep them clean. -The Monthly List. Please submit anything you think you be on our monthly list of top five great things going on. Is it a newly released CD, a new artist fellow fans might not have heard of, a great bar in your area that really supports live music, the best festival you’ve been to in ages, or just something you think people need to know about. -SUGGESTIONS. And lots of them. Tell us what you want to read about. What's been working, and what hasn't. Some new features like: -Regional beats. Whether you live in Nanaimo, Canmore, Truro, Fredericton, or anywhere in the middle, Scene & Heard wants to know what's going on. If you think you've got your finger on the pulse let us know. -Campus contacts. The live music scene at our universities and colleges is very different from city to city. Scene & Heard wants to know what's going on across the country. -PICTURES! If you took it this summer, we want it. Drop an email with jpegs, so we can get an idea of what you've got. Please include location, show, date, and any applicable names. -In the Taper’s Section. After spending a killer weekend at Evolve near the soundboard, Scene & Heard really realized the amount of dedication and near-sobriety it takes to tape a show. If you tend you spend your shows in the taper section, Scene & Heard would love to include it. We're expecting your point of view in review or column form. Please include how many shows you tape on average, how you started, and why you do it. -From the bands. Usually as fans, we tend to take the lead. But really, if it wasn't for the bands we'd all just be sitting at home playing Yahtzee or something. If, as a collective band or single member, you have something to say to readers and show-goers, Scene & Heard is excited to get your message out. Managers are also welcome to drop us a line. Send us columns or concerns no longer than 1500 words. Thanks for the interest, Scene & Heard sceneandheard@canada.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Does anyone have any contact info for Mike Knoll? Its been a while since I have spoken with him... I only know he moved recently. Maybe still in Waterloo? Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 I've owned the new Derek Trucks cd for a month now. Would Scene & Heard like a review? The cd isn't expected to hit Canada for a few more weeks. I can tell you that it's the best thing he's done by a long shot. It's mature and Derek takes unexpected gambles collaboration-wise.

piranha132 Posted September 3, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Yessssssssssssss! Scene & Heard would love a review of Derek Trucks new CD. A 500-word minimum please, soon. S&H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 Sorry to all who responded via this board or email..... It seems that due to some miscommunication and ill feelings that Scene and Heard is "owned" by someone else and they aren't going to let it go. Maybe a different publication will come of this, that features an expanded view on music (and tolerance in relationships). S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 well this sounds like some nasty gossip... do spill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 No nasty gossip........ Though that seems to be permeating our scene lately. Just a no go. It seems there was some miscommunication about roles, expecting issue date etc. Basically those who ran it before are keeping the idea alive, and may offer up more issues later in the future. I am thinking of something else in the same vein. Maybe a real cross section of live music in Canada by all of our community members, not just reviews of friends bands by friends.
