"Lone
Shark is a new project aiming to promote and support the most
exciting unsigned music regardless of genre. Based initially in
Devon, the current plan is to promote a number of gigs featuring
some of the best unsigned acts in the area, as well as giveaways/
DJs etc to ensure it's a great night all-round. It is hoped that
these shows will help build the reputation and fanbase of Lone
Shark and the artists' involved, so that it becomes viable to
release records under the Lone Shark name - whether in the form
of one-off singles or a compilation."

itself! Go there, get lost. Great pics.
