Whats MMM all about?

First and foremost....the Music, finding new bands, hearing new tunes, the buzz of knowing you've helped artists get airplay, make contacts and advance in what is one of the hardest and most rewarding industries to be a part of. For us its all about the gigs, fessy's, the banter, the atmosphere, meeting new people, hooking you up with the good guys/gals, we're music lovers just like you!! We live breath and sleep music and we think that shows!! Thats why we've made firm lifelong contacts where others have made associates. If we can help you we will, if we can't do something, we most likely know someone who can, just ask.......peace and oneness x

Now for the corporate blurb....

You could liken us to the spaghetti junction, a musical collaboration of all thats happening or passing through the musical midlands, so if you're looking for promotion, air play, guidance, or members, the words on your lips should be...MMM...Midlands Music Maniacs.

Ok, so what'd you do exactly?

In a world where social networking sites are changing daily, often creating fractured communities, MMM's mission was to reign it back a little and to establish a fixed local meeting point for like minded musicians, fans and industry professionals. We're very proud to report that in little over a year we've exceeded all expectations, you only have to read our  'Testimonials' to appreciate that we are achieving over and above what we set out to!

Whilst retaining our grass roots approach to our Midlands contacts, MMM continutes to gather fast pace in other areas, so much so that we now collaborate with some of the best up and coming unsigned artists from all over the UK. Not to mention the cream of the crop in unsigned band shows (spanning the UK, USA, NZ and France). Our sites also attract industry scouts on the look out for new artists and many have been approached for gigs and radio sessions as a result.

Our main aim is to assist artists, with the tools, platforms and connections needed to aid self promotion, gain airplay, secure gigs/festival slots and increase their audiences. So whether you're just starting out and looking for guidance and direction, or are more established and want to increase your presence we can help.

Our website (which is free to join along with our other sites) offer artists a platform for self promotion, provide links to unsigned shows looking for demo's, offer a dedicated gig list for any Midlands gig dates you may have and we also showcase 10 new bands/artists (no genre biases) each month via reverb. This is also promoted on our website/facebook/twitter/myspace pages. Fancy a spin? email a quality mp3 to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for consideration, all artists that are featured receive a review courtesy of our resident music journalist 'Beatlebabe' too. Check back over her page to see the huge amount of talent thats already passed through our doors. At the time of writing, Aprils playlist received over 7600 hits on the reverb widget, not bad going we think!

If you're looking to join a band or need members feel free to put a shout out in the forum. It's also a great place to find opportunities for festival slots and promoters with gig offers.

Oh and make sure you check out the 'links' section too, we've sent our wild boars out in search of truffles just for you!!!!

But most importantly you MUST register to access most of the content.

We are also regularly contacted by promoters from all over the uk to help recruit bands/artists for gigs, so again we can help you by acting as an intemediary. Aswell as the host of unsigned band shows we work with who are on the look out for the best unsigned music around.

All we ask in return is that you give us a shout out, and if you feel up to it pop a few coffers into the donate button on the home page. This site is currently run on love so every little bit helps to keep it FREE and live for all registered users.
