Welcome to the new Neon Music Blog!

While we mourn the passing of the sadly-deceased Neon Music Club, sooner or later it is time to move on and get over it. Plenty more fish in the sea, and all that. So here's something bigger, better and much more exciting: rising from the ashes of the Music Club like some great and beautiful indie phoenix (drumroll please)... the Neon Music Blog! Hooray!

Here we will keep you updated with what's going on in our world and what's getting us excited right now, including information on new bands and artists, special offers, competitions, and of course the odd free MP3 for your aural pleasure. Be sure to check back each week to see what new nuggets of musical goodness we've unearthed for you, and feel free to contact us if you've found something you think we should feature or if you'd like to write a short article or review for the blog. You can email us here: kelly@neonstreet.co.uk

Similarly, if you're in a band and would like to be featured, drop us a line and we'll see what we can do.

If you've just stumbled across this and are wondering who the heck we are, this blog is run by Neon Street Teams. We work with a load of amazing bands, and we'll give you nice shiny music-related gifts in return for your help promoting them. You can find out more about the work we do and sign up to a street team via our website: http://www.neonstreet.co.uk

If you can't wait until our first proper blog entry next week, then here's a freebie to whet your appetite. The awesome NIXA have been called "one of the top 10 unsigned acts in the UK" by Metro national newspaper, and all you have to do to get your grubby mitts on a copy of their excellent new 3-track CD is head on over to their MySpace, sign up to their newsletter and then drop them a polite email at nixa@rock.com. If that doesn't satiate your inner rock chick/dude* (*delete as applicable) then we don't know what will.

All that remains is to remind you to pre-order The Foxes' new single "Bill Hicks" or we'll hunt you down and take your guinea pig hostage. Click here for more information on how to pre-order.

Remember to come back next week for a whole host of musical goodies!
