Karma's Lab (new alt/prog rock band from The Netherlands)

[PixelDream]

Dear fellow DTF'ers,

I wasn't sure about this earlier, but now I am.

Why I am posting this:

1) I'm in this band. But if I wasn't, I'd still make a thread about it here. It's atmospheric alternative rock with a bit of a Porcupine Tree influence, that's why I thought some of y'all might dig it. Our entire self recorded/produced EP is up for free listening and download (full WAV's) here: https://www.soundcloud.com/karmaslab - I'd really like your feedback, be it positive or negative, regarding composition, production, performance etcetera.

2) We really need your help if you like our music. We are competing in the biggest live music competition in The Netherlands, called 'The Grand Prize of Holland'. We are now semi-finalists, and if we make it to the finals we are going to play the most amazing venue in The Netherlands: Paradiso.

If you like us you can help us by voting for our band in this competition. The website's in dutch, so here's an easy manual:

7. Optional: You can share this message on your facebook to help us get more votes. We’d really appreciate it

I hope I didn't step anyone's foot here.. I did take a look at the forum rules. If this is not okay, please move it to Musicians area or wherever it's appropiate. I'm posting it here because I obviously want many DTF'ers to see it.

Anyway, thanks at least for reading this, I hope I can get some reactions from you guys.

Cheers!

Is your username an Ozric Tentacles reference?  That would be awesome if your music was influenced by them...  (haven't listened to it yet.)

[PixelDream]

Yes it is, good catch! The Ozrics are amazing, good to meet a fellow fan!

Just skimmed through your EP. Good stuff! I will definitely listen to it fully later. I do see the similarity to some of Porcupine Tree's stuff, and that is a good thing.

Thanks a lot man!

Hey man, sounds pretty cool. Voted for you I had just one quick listen and it really reminded me of PT, and that's good. If you're playing in/around Utrecht anytime soon, let me know. I might go

Succes met de Grote Prijs!

[PixelDream]

Wow thanks Onno! We gaan ons best doen

I'll definately let you know. For now, we're playing september 7th in the semi-finals of GPvNL, P60 Amstelveen.
