ABoF’s 2010 review!
When we hit this time of the year, we all start to reflect a little on what we've done, our achievements and the fun times we've had. 2010 has been incredibly hard but really rewarding for all involved. So instead of rabbiting on about how wonderful it's all been, I'll leave you with some pictures and little snippets of the year that was 2010.While we're here, I'd like to quickly thank all the bands and labels we've worked with this year and all our supporters (you know who you are!)...
These Monsters Album Launch / ABoF TV

We finally launched ABoF TV this year and we were really proud that These Monsters were part of this launch. We filmed them in February at The Lexington. This was only the beginning - later in the year we managed to film Shield Your Eyes and an interview with Function Records founder Shane Billingham, Enablers and Phantom. We've already uploaded ABoF TV ep. 2 but you'll have to wait till next year to see the Enablers and Phantom episodes.
Part 1 of 2 of the These Monsters album launch is below but you can view all our videos on our YouTube page or via our website.
Enablers, Ex Libras and Phantom
In May we filmed another episode of ABoF TV. Enablers, Ex Libras and Phantom were on the bill and it was a wonderful night indeed. Watch out for ABoF TV ep. 3 next year. This was to be one of our last gigs of the year as we wanted to concentrate on the PR and event management side of things.

DJ fun!
No pictures for this one I'm afraid (as it's a bit hard to take photos of yourself whilst DJ-ing!)... this year we were asked to DJ three fun aftershows - the Empire Magazine awards, MOJO awards and Q awards. Each were very different but equally fun. At the Q Awards we DJ-ed for over two hours with Mark Ronson, the Chemical Brothers and our good friends Jo and Danny DJ-ing after us.
Good vibes for our bands
We've worked with some brilliant bands this year and we're really proud and happy they've all done so well. To see all the wonderful press, check out our bands' artist pages.

Geek of the Year Awards
We event managed the first annual Geek of the Year awards in November. The event was conceptualised by the boys over at 7ThingsMedia who run Geeks.co.uk. It was a brilliant night with entertainment from comedians Tiffany Stevenson, Carl Donnelly and Adam Bloom, music from our very own Ex Libras, geeky cupcakes by Molly Bakes and lots of smiling faces. James Pottinger was crowned the first ever Geek of the Year by the judges (which included The Inbetweeners co-writer Iain Morris).
Our friends over at EyeSeeSound filmed the event, you can watch it all below.
