RED STRIPE MAKES TV SERIES DEBUT
Following hot on the heels of the news our headline sponsorship of two of the UK’s largest grass-roots music festivals – Camden Crawl and The Great Escape, we’re very proud to announce our first national TV sponsorship campaign. We will be sponsoring Rockfeedback Presents, after finding the perfect fit with the cult Channel 4 music programme.
Rockfeedback Presents’ is a new series which follows artists across the globe in a myriad surreal, serene and beautiful ways – whether intimately caught in the dressing-room or the tour bus, or whilst in the studio, rockfeedback aims to be the honest, witty and informed alternative to years’ worth of generic music TV fodder.
Set to air for the first time tonight, the six-part run will air every Friday night between the varying post-club, twilight hours of 00.30 and 01.30 for half-hour episodes. A one-off special will also surface this summer, plus a further six-parter in the autumn (expect it October time).
Jonny Kirkham, one of the team behind Red Stripe comments: “From top bands like The Clash and The View to legends like Noel Gallagher, Red Stripe's proud to be associated with artists who have clearly made their mark in music, as well as supporting more grass roots music. Red Stripe has had a legitimate place in music for over 30 years because, like the people who drink it, it is prepared to challenge the mainstream.”
Rockfeedback/Transgressive founder and music obsessive, Toby L is delighted at the partnership. “The whole thing about Rockfeedback Presents is that it’s distinctly non obtrusive - everything is handheld, intimate and contextual. We try to give brand-new/up and coming artists a mainstream platform, and a more representative stage for renowned artists. Our approach is clearly mirrored by Red Stripe’s support of music and artists so it seemed natural to work with a likeminded brand.”
‘Rockfeedback TV’ – its first series – was broadcast to rave reactions and repeats on both MTV2 UK/Ireland and MTV2 Europe between 2005 and 2007, as well as Channel 4, featuring artists such as Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, and Jack White, Liars, Klaxons, Dizzee Rascal, and plenty besides, shot everywhere from Tokyo to Oslo.
Additional rockfeedback activities confirmed this year include live events and showcases of vital new talent at The Red Stripe Camden Crawl, The Red Stripe Great Escape Festival, Huw Stephen/Radio 1’s SWN Festival, Brighton’s Loop Festival, and many more besides.
