On this year's SPOT Festival the independent record companies increase their profile. Not only are 21 record companies contributing compared to last year's 15, they are also going to present their music live on an outdoor stage near the booths. Here you can experience the likes of Lise Westzynthius, Camilla Munck (from Wynona), Maya Albana and 11 other acts, non of whom are in the official SPOT programme.
The contributory companies range from the "established" Crunchy Frog via Swan Lee's Gogo Records to the "one-man company" BSBTA. The initiative springs from the acknowledgement of the importance of joining forces in some instances to gain a greater impact. At the same time the independents wish to make it clear to the audience that new fresh and fascinating bands don't just come out of thin air, but that their coming about can to some extent be ascribed to the undergrowth of independent record companies.
By the way, this is not a declaration of war against the "big, bad multinationals". According to the organizers, one of the aims is to create one continuous food chain from the smallest independents to the "majors".
