ITC LIVE HIGHLIGHTS

The 2009 ITC iTunes album is now available via the following link. Featuring 32 of the ITC Unsigned artists, the album is available for just £7.99. Details of other digital distributors, and of how ITC delegates can get their free copies, will be released soon.
ITC LIVE 2009
We are delighted to announce that the final touches have now been made to the ITC Live line-up and Manchester will once again play host to three nights of the best new music in the world.
NME Radar will have a special set from Music Go Music (currently mid-tour with Franz Ferdinand), Wolf Gang and local intriguers Egyptian Hip Hop. Manchester's coolest clubnight Now Wave will feature one of the hottest bands in the world in The Drums, BBC Introducing have chosen to focus on championing the best of the Northwest (as well as a couple from further afield) at Moho Live, including one of last year's standouts The Jessie Rose Trip back with a new backing band and breezy prog poppers Your Twenties. Moho will also play host to a special Love Music Hate Racism night, featuring a special acoustic headliner.
SJM Concerts have programmed things for us over at the ever-welcoming Ruby Lounge - and, much like the rest of the year, we expect to find ourselves spending plenty of time in their company, watching the likes of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, Bicycle Thieves and Apples.
The newly resurgent High Voltage will be announcing their return to the Manchester conciousness by hosting Hot Club De Paris, Kong and Dutch Uncles at the glorious Deaf Institute - who will also play host to Drowned in Sound's 9th birthday party with Frightened Rabbit, Esben and the Witch and ex-Unicorns and Arcade Fire project Clues. Their festival rounds off with the ever-impressive Friends Vs Records showcasing Citadels, Rogues and Dirty Goods as well as bringing along Hope Of The States' new band The Northwestern.
Perhaps the country's most celebrated one-man label and top alternative rock stable Big Scary Monsters will be joining forces with The Art Of... agency to celebrate another great year with the likes of Copy Haho, Shapes, Talons and The Moi Non Plus. American management company, promoters and all-round high taste-makers Future Sounds will host their first ever UK 'Blast' with Tigers That Talked, NewIslands and Minnaars, wonderful Welsh festival Swn give us Cate Le Bon, Envy and Unicorn Kid and Fierce Panda return once again with the now-traditional ITC gig 'Ning The City' with Goldheart Assembly, Taxi Taxi! and The Neat.
For the younger crowd we have introduced 14+ gigs to ITC for the first time ever with the help of Front Magazine, Artrocker and local all-age masters Same Teens - with Hatcham Social, Saving Aimee, My Tiger My Timing, Wild Palms, Wu Lyf, The Brute Chorus, Twin Atlantic, Attack! Attack!, The New 1920, Futures and a whole host of others converting the new generation.
And all this without mention of the reason we're still here, the 18 year legacy of finding the next stadium-filler, the band to fall in love with or the chart-topping one hit wonders, the strand that gave an early helping hand to Coldplay, Oasis, Muse, Radiohead, Elbow, Noah and The Whale, Friendly Fires, Gallows, Maximo Park and, ahem, The Darkness. The best 34 brand new bands we could find, squeezed into a handful of venues, mere stumbling distance from ITC HQ The Midland - In The City Unsigned.

ITC VISUAL PANELS
IN THE CITY ‘VISUAL’ PANELS ANNOUNCED
We are delighted to announce a series of debates looking into the visual side of the music industry, including music in computer games, the evolution of the music video, contemporary music photography and music filmmaking, featuring some of the most important names in their respective fields.
NO TIME TO THINK – MAKING THE MUSIC VIDEO
You’ve got £5K in a budget and a label who want a video making that looks £30K. The band want to look a certain way, the label are strict, there is a room full of people to impress, pressure is on and the band is shit faced...
This is making a music video.
On this panel we’ll hear the trials and tribulations of creating the music video from dealing with the bands and labels to the often changing brief and the time constraints. Online video blogging and videos of bands on downtime have changed the way we are able to perceive the band. Has this changed the way we make the video? Can you really get away with a tiny budget and a post on YouTube?
Featuring:
Helienne Lindvall Journalist, www.guardian.co.uk (Moderator)
Toby Hyde Managing Director & Co-Owner, Factory Films
Trudy Bellinger Crossroads Films, Director (Sugababes, The Saturdays, Girls Aloud)
Tim Pope Director (The Cure, David Bowie, Neil Young, Kaiser Chiefs)
Otis Bell OB Management
GOD! SHOW ME MAGIC. THE STORY OF CREATION RECORDS
Ride, Primal Scream, Oasis, Teenage Fanclub, Super Furries, Jesus and Mary Chain and on and on - between 1983 and 1999 Creation Records were the Motown of the indie generation, all big bands, big stories and big personalities.
Live at ITC Steve Lamacq discusses the development behind ‘Upside Down. The Story of Creation Records’, director Danny O’Connor and the curator of the films “live” association Ride’s Mark Gardner. How do you commit the rollercoaster that was Creation to film? Plus they’ll be explaining how and why they made the choice to treat the film of the label like a band – and then take the whole kit and caboodle out on tour. And fingers crossed we’ll see some exclusive footage of the film and, we’re hoping, hear more than the odd interesting anecdote from those times of our lives.
Featuring:
Steve Lamacq Broadcaster and DJ, BBC 6Music
Danny O’Connor Documentary Maker
Mark Gardener Recording Artist, Ride
THE ITC PHOTOGRAPHY KEYNOTE
Jody Goodall moderates this extended session with the legendary Gered Mankowitz.
Part 1
The sound and the vision go hand in hand in this game. You hear the chord, close your eyes and usually the image that pops into your head is the work of a person like Gered.
But what attributes make that photograph work? How do you capture something so indefinable as a vibe in something as instant as a photograph? And in a world where we’re ALL music photographers now where is the art and craft going to come from now?
On stage with Gered will be Jill Furmanovsky, Andrew Whitton and Tim Cochrane, discussing this and the difference between photographing bands live and in portrait. Because you photograph bands at a gig, does that make you a rock photographer? We’ll also look at the different ways that the young and old generations work.
Part 2
Gered runs through some of his favourite pictures and tells you a bit of the stories behind them. Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithful, Oasis….. yeah you’ve probably heard of them.
OK COMPUTER? PUTTING MUSIC IN COMPUTER GAMES
The various gaming genres all rely on music in some shape or form. If you aren’t jumping around your living room to The Beatles Rock Band game you’re probably smashing cars about to a belting tune. An exclusive computer games sync panel, we’ll be seeing spanking new game footage plus hearing about the new ways music will immerse your gaming world. If you’ve ever wanted to get your music in a game, then this is a must see panel.

ITC UNSIGNED 2009
After much agonising, wailing and the occasional gnashing of teeth we’ve arrived at the final list. The ones who we think you’ll be hearing a hell of a lot more from over the next few years.
You can hear them in all their glory on the ITC Unsigned Album 2009, available from tomorrow on iTunes and via various other fine digital retailers.
Delegates remember, you get a code for your copy, which we’ll be mailing out to you the week before ITC.

TWO NEW PANELS ANNOUNCED
MORE PANEL ANNOUNCEMENTS
We are delighted to announce two more panels for this year’s In The City.
MAKING THE LAW – THE AUTHOR PANEL
How do you write about rock n roll? If you can remember your era you weren’t there, or so they say. For these guys, their words become the folklore of the times they lived. Like the quote says “when it comes to choosing between printing the truth or the legend - print the legend”, but if people take that as gospel where do your responsibilities lie?
Entertain or educate – easy to do one, hard to do both. So how did this lot do it?
Featuring:
John Robb The North Will Rise Again - Manchester Music City, Moderator
John Niven Kill Your Friends
Andrew Collins That's Me in the Corner - Adventures of an Ordinary Boy in a Celebrity World
Mark Hodkinson Queen The Early Years
Peter Hook The Hacienda – How Not to Run A Club
Pete Frame Rock Family Trees
DUTY OF CARE PANEL
The pressure of fame, the pressure of business, and the pressure to deliver hits and keep the whole machine moving – sometimes it can just plain get too much. From Syd Barrett to Richey Edwards and beyond, this most challenging of industries can and does take a person down. So how can those of us working with artists fulfil a duty of care? How to learn to say no, to say it’s too much and to say they need help? Artists aren’t just figures on a bottom line, the whole machine around an artist has a moral duty to protect those in their charge. Look after them and they’ll look after you, right?
Featuring:
Marc Marot CEO, SEG International Moderator
Darcus Beese Co-President, Island Records
Colin Lester Managing Director CLM Entertainment
Jonathan Morrish Director of Communications, PPL (ex CBS/Sony)

Keynotes confirmed so far include: Mike Smith, Mark Ronson, John Harris, Anthony Volodkin, Sean Adams, Simon Raymonde, Pat Nevin, Gered Mankowitz as well as speakers from Seatwave, Soundcloud, Songkick and many, many more.
