Gaining copy write for Lights go down
Since we personally know Sly Antics, the relationship originating with social media twitter messaging about our potential partnership, they have willingly agreed to us using their song Lights go down. The main proof of their approval being them featuring in the music video and their man tweet expressing their excitement about the videos release.

This is clever as their website is an easy link to their various other social media sites, helping to create a larger interest in the band as people can quickly see what they are about and in a way get to know the band them selfs. It creates a very approachable feel to the band as they have a section called "speak to us" where people who don't wish to post directly to a visible website can privately message them. The immediate updates also means that people can keep up to date with the bands new music or gigs as well as their page outlining all new gigs. Another way the band has successfully brought across their image is to post reviews of the band from promotors and magazine adverts, this gives a real feel about what kind of atmosphere the band creates at a gig and what to expect from a unbiased view point. This here is a band with promise and potential and we are only just seeing the beginning of it – LITTLE INDIE NIGHT

The band has again brought across their image through their use of fonts, colours, images and textures. We can see from their use of black and white grained images that they have gone for an alternative indie approach, this is common of indie bands such as The arctic monkeys

. They have also used the same back and white colour scheme by using many shades of grey rather than just  a straight black and white effect.

Viral idea: Magazine and digipak idea

Viral idea
To take our magazine ad and digipak to the next level we are considering creating a scheme where fans of the band will take a photo of the bands poster in venues that they want the band to play in for example local bars, and then hashtag #slyanticsplayhere and post it on the social media site of their choice e.g. instagram, twitter or Facebook. This will help us when creating our digipak and magazine ad as we can incorporate these photos.
