Drum-o-rama...
We've developed a nice idea. It's kinda stealing, but it's kinda a tribute.
Drumming is at the heart of every band and orchestra; it throbs and pulses to bring life and rhythm to music.
To celebrate rhyth
m, EjectorSeat will be taking influence from Boadrum, turning the park into a stage at their Arts Festival to be held on Saturday 5th June within Palmerston Park.
Drumming workshops will be held at the Band Stand, and will include a few simple exercises, which will then be incorporated into a mass drumming performance of local professionals and brand new novices, all performing together. By dissolving egos and making a unified experience for all involved we hope to bring the park to life as one giant stage. With that in mind, the whole experience is aimed at being as inclusive as possible, and spare drums will be on hand on the day for anyone to get involved. This event will be truly unique and individual for everyone involved, weather engaged or passive, and will change depending on where one stands.
Mac Ince from EjectorSeat said “Our aim is something that goes beyond experimentalism, and develops into being pop in its scope and execution by bringing people together.”
The formation will be led by Dave Wade-Brown (from Thomas Tantrum), and as well as many other invited percussionists. The drummers from the bands performing at the Band Stand on the day will also be getting involved.
If you would like to be involved, and perform with the group, contact EjectorSeat by emailing info[at]ejectorseat.co.uk

Helping us to help Southampton.
EjectorSeat needs YOU!
Our Arts festival is being organised for Saturday 5th June 2010 and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved as a volunteer. The festival is small enough for everyone involved as a volunteer to gain not just an overview of how the festival works, but to give real input and value. We will try to fit your experience and aspirations against required roles in the festival, so that we all benefit as much as possible.
What's available?
EjectorSeat have various positions available, with different responsibilities and skills.
We are looking for Grant Writers, to research and apply for Arts and Community grants; and Artist Liaisons Officers to co-ordinate and communicate with artists of different mediums.
In addition to this we need a team of marketing volunteers to help promote the festival a month leading up to and over the weekend of the event itself. Applicants for this role must be able to offer a minimum of 6 hrs.
We are also looking for professional quality photographers to help us document the festival.
We will need to know when you are available to volunteer for EjectorSeat, as this enables us to timetable volunteer hours in the office, at events and liaising with artists and onsite. It's really important that if you've said you're available at a particular time on a particular day, we can rely on your presence.
For further information on volunteering for EjectorSeat, or to apply send an email to: info [@] ejectorseat.co.uk and mark in the SUBJECT of the email VOLUNTEER.You must also remember to include a full CV or if you don’t have a current CV 1 side of A4 explaining your interest in volunteering and any specific knowledge or skills that you think are applicable.
