Indie Scenesters
The target audience for my genre of music are 'Indie Scenesters'. This group of people enjoy finding new music and listening to the less well known bands, away from the mainstream 'pop' music and have a genuine love for the music the find and listen to. Also, as the bands aren't as 'big' as the mainstream music, it is easier to get in touch, talk to and generally interact with the band, giving more opportunities to meet them, buy cheap merchandise and get to know them without crowds of screaming 'fan girls', and when there are more involved fans, they usually help each other, become friends and once again find new people and music who like the same things and spreading the love.
"it’s about championing independent artists rather than a specific genre, especially before the masses get in on the act."
The clothing worn usually consists of charity shop bargains, skinny jeans, vans or converse.

I will take my video camera with me to these gigs and shoot the band in action, this gives me a free (apart from the entry fee) venue,with lights, a crowd, stage and a good atmosphere capturing the boys performing naturally without them having to act in a set up room.

Casino Empire- Band Biography
Tommy Cobley- Lead Vocals
Jack Hall- Bass/ Vocals
Matt Gore- Guitar/ Vocals
Tom Marlow- Guitar
Ollie Dennis- Drums
They are influnced by bands including Oasis, Stereophonics, Kasabian, Blur, Miles Kane, Little Night Terrors, The Jam, The Stone Roses, The Kaiser Chiefs etc, and include a few covers from these bands in their set, along with a few of their own songs.
The band was formed as Jack and Ollie had previously been in a 3 piece punk band before, named "Drumhead" playing alongside guitarist and lead vocalist Josh Jones.
After Drumhead split up, following a dispute caused by musical differences, Ollie introduced Jack to his friend Tommy and they soon discovered their mutual love of alternative music, adding Matt, a close family friend to Tommy on guitar and also later discovering the musical talent of Tom on the guitar, together creating Casino Empire who have become more and more popular as the months have progressed, performing at different venues across Leicester every weekend.
The band have recently auditioned for a spot at the local 'Glastonbudget' festival, a weekend festival in Leicester including a variety of tribute bands, and unsigned acts, in the hope to be discovered.
Casino Empire are growing bigger and bigger every week, and have a lot of potential for the future and hope to someday be signed by a record label enabling them to release an album of their own music.
