Live and Unsigned Regional Final Winners To Support Dub Pistols

Live and Unsigned Regional Final winners Panning for Gold have struck it lucky- first getting through to the London Area Final stage of the competition in Basildon, then winning a support slot with Dub beat sensations the Dub Pistols at the Hove Centre in Brighton on Saturday 16th April.

Events Director for Live and Unsigned said: “The effort that Panning for Gold have put into both their performances and the competition as a whole has rewarded them with a fantastic support slot and an experience they'll never forget, well done lads!”

Panning for Gold are an unsigned band from East London who surfaced on the music scene just over a year and a half ago. Having performed 42 gigs in their first year & a five day tour in Brighton, they have accomplished  a lot in a short time. They've headlined some major gigs, played intervals for UFC shows and currently organise the occasional "unsigned bands" night at Epping's notorious One9Five Club.

Their original sound is a mixture of Indie, Rock & Hip Hop with mild influences from Jazz and Drum & Bass. The four members that make up 'Panning For Gold': Graham, who plays Bass; Jake is the drummer; Louis (aka Reason) is the band's rapper & backing vocalist and also plays keyboard; Owen Jones is lead vocalist & guitar player.

If you want to see Panning for Gold live, you can check out the London & East Area Final in Basildon on Saturday 14th May or alternatively catch them supporting the Dub Pistols on the 16th April in Brighton. tickets for both shows can be purchased from the Live and Unsigned website.
