who?

The single on their site sounds ok, is that the one you are talking about?
It is catchy and they are all ok musicians from the sound of it. Golden horse are a good nz band too. I don't see the point of a rivalry or something. Maybe if they sounded the same or something but they don't, they wouldn't even have the same fans. I'm missing the one vital link, I know but whats the problem?

'leave the singing to those who can'

Kirsten is a trained Opera singer with over 20 years performance experience, her control and tone is clear and consistant. If you don't like the sound of her voice, that's one thing, but to say the girl can't sing is a joke.

Umm no. Angelsound is a tryhard 4TH place battle of the bands Ranui pub rock band.

She (Angel) left these forums running with her tail between her legs soon after she posted some of her 'mature lyrics with real passion' and was ridiculed for them. I'd say darkangel is venting her frustration due to a realisation that her or her band will never get close to what Goldenhorse can do.

Of course there is a chance that it's not her, making me a complete ass, but i seriously doubt it.

Hi there Angel here from the band Angelsound. I just read all the shit people have written and am astounded to read the comment that started it all off, especially when I didnt write that! I love kirsten Morelles voice and think she is an increadibly talented muscician and people who know me know I dont slag off other people, its just not me. I am also a trained opera singer with 20 years experience and I have always admired Kirsten for her individuality and think she deserves all her sucess. The person who made the comment about Angelsound getting 4th place in the Battle in Ranui is a load of shit - we got into the regional finals at the Kings Arms and had to pull out because I got sick.

I hope that clears it all up - its not the first time it has happened to me, we seem to get alot of this shit happening to us. We played a gig at the masonic and someone rang up and pretended to be from our band saying we wanted to go on last! It makes us laugh really because you gotta love the haters!!

Keep an eye on our website because we are about to re launch it. Angelsound are touring the country at the moment which has been amazing fun! We have just recorded our album called "Death toll of our generation" so keep an eye out for Angelsound :)

Allright now is as good a time as any. I was going to wait for intergalactic records to put their forum back up but I don't think it will happen before their competition is over.
When my Nephew rang us up to tell us his band were entering the battle of the bands this year we were all really happy for him. The kid loves music and is pretty well useless doing anything else. In a fair competition he stands a good chance to win, I am biased but he's good. I mentioned the 'competition' to a musician friend who filled me in to what the competition is really about. I point this out to anal sound just so they understand what I have to say is not personal.
In talking to my friend he pointed out a few discrepencies about this so- called competition and suggested I email a friend of his up in Auckland, which I did. What this friend of his had to say was eye opening for me, although from what I hear probably not for anyone else.
1. In 2002 a band called stardrunk won, more on that later. follow this link. http://www.nzmusic.com/topic.cfm?show=all&i=10359#post180878
2. Then of course there was this http://www.nzmusic.com/topic.cfm?i=5746&start=1 back in 2003.
3. Last year the buzzword was Wildcard. A number of bands on good terms with the promoters got them. They were knocked out of the competition but miraculously came back. This included a Metal group with a drum machine and 45 minute songs, just the sort of commercial thing you want to win a competition. It also included a band described to myself as the 3rd most mediocre band in Auckland.
4. Back to stardrunk. Note the name Aaron Miller. He manages Stardrunk. He manages Aangelsound. He manages slipping tongue. Aaron is also hpying himself as the marketing manager for
INTERGALACTIC RECORDS.

Does anyone see a HUGE conflict of interest here.
In case you didn't get it the first time CONFLICT OF INTEREST. you all know what this means, it is theareason why in real business when a company like coke has a competition the people working at coca cola cannot enter, their families cannot enter, even the builder contracted to make their toilets down the far end of the office block cannot enter this one, or the cleaners, the haulage company who take coke to the stores and the list goes on. But it is real business Andrew Featherston makes money, so it is business.
If you agree that angelsound should pull out of the battle of the bands post below the words. PULL OUT NOW. If you agree intergalactic should be more transparent wait until he puts his forum back up (sic).
Show some integrity Angelsound and pull out. It is not too late.

Thanks. I'm pretty cool.

// i love you.

hey, you stole that from me!

Thats cos your both cocks!

Your mum.

Yeah your right the term "opera singer" may not be entirely accurate, I think people say that but what they really mean is that they are "classically trained" which is actually the exact same thing. But your right I dont have an operatic voice although I can sing classically which means I can sing properly, which ever way you want to interpret this. I have always found it increadibly wanky to admit that I am a classicaly trained vocalist but my band insist on bringing it up. I had this guy say to me once "my girlfriend is a singer ,and I said cool so am I, and he said what genre of music are you in, and I said rock and HE said dont feel ashamed its ok that you cant sing properly and have to sing rock! Anyway I have sung in several musicals and when I sing my rock I really do put into practice everything I know about clasical singing and I know that one day when im over the whole rock thing that opera is exactly where I will be because I really do crave it. One of the singers that I admire is Pat Bennitar because she is also a classicaly trained vocalist and choses to sing rock. I really believe that what I sing in Angelsound is really quite challenging and I would find it easier to sing a classical song. Ok finished now :)

so where has your sweet singing got you?

i think you're reading into angel's posts a little too much - she explained her background training without any pretention as far as i could see

rad, what's your email?

and you ask yourself this after dealing shit on people like this for how long?

jsut interested on what's happening on both sides of the trench

Nah, I don't think I'm anyone's hero - I just hate fuckwits that talk about themselves in third person. So that includes you. Chump.

Also FYI I'm a guy. And not particularly puny.
