Altered Sky are a Glasgow based rock band who have built themselves a loyal fanbase, won critical acclaim from publications such as Rock Sound, Kerrang! and have been tipped by Apple Music and the Huffington Post as a band to watch out for in 2016. In addition to standard shows, the band also does an “edu-tour” which includes an acoustic or full band performance, paired with a careers-oriented seminar about the music industry which focuses on a student’s potential role as a professional musician. Their self funded album Without Wonderland is out now. Highlights: - Ana is an avocado enthusiast and gamer nerd! - We hear how touring is still one of the most effective ways of building an audience - Meeting people on tour helps to build a personal connection - We hear about Altered Sky’s edu-tours and how they teach students how they can work in the music industry - “You can make a career in the music industry, because I’m standing here - I’m doing it” - Ross makes a pretty huge research faux pas in which he marries Ana and Altered Sky’s bass player - We hear all about Altered Sky’s debut album “Without Wonderland” and the search for their sound - Social media is increasingly where you’ll start to build your audience - The numbers don’t really mean anything without the connection with your audience - Be yourself on social media!
