What is TF trying to achieve with The TFTV music show?
Where does a band start it's career normally? Well whether you are the Beatles or Coldplay you would have started playing your music to people in intimate bespoke venues...
 TFTV films in these smaller, intimate venues in major cities such as London, New York and LA bringing you established and emerging talent direct to your screen. When emerging we had acts such as: Adele, Maximo Park, The Noisettes grace our stages.... Fortunately this talent has been discovered, signed and brought to you.
 We have had so much more great talent play our shows that has not been discovered by the public yet... At TF we could not believe this talent was not getting a chance to connect with you the public so we came up with the idea of The TFTV music show along with the functionality of this website...
Long story short we are all busy...so when we go to a website we want what we want fast... TFTV and the TF website acts as a filter/chart by public rating. There are two categories for you to help hear today's and tomorrow's new super groups...
|
|
The "cream", some established, some emerging are listed as "VIP Members".
Under VIP Members you pick your genre and you are hearing for example the best new Rock acts on the LA or London gig circuit...
So whether its The Sunset strip in LA or Soho in London you will be able to watch it via The TFTV music show....
You can rate acts helping their position in the charts and if you really like it you can purchase their music via iTunes.

At TF we believe it's only fair that every band gets a chance for the public to say what they think. Lets face it, it's the public who buy the music....If they like it they can buy it....if they don't like they don't buy it...
Up to now the normal process has been to send your demo to the record label and a few people listen and decide if you get signed or not. They try to decide what you the public are going to like....
Now you can decide yourself by listening to the music sent to us from around the world...The acts with the highest ratings get automatically ranked accordingly in the Band submissions chart...This helps get exposure, recognition and fans for emerging talent. The most publicly rated might be asked to play The TFTV show.
