The Bulletin Board: February 2025

Hey there everyone! This isn’t a typical blog post (there’ve been plenty this week if you’re looking for them), but I thought I’d try out something new and calling it a “bulletin board”. What’s going on for you in terms of music next month? Are you planning on going to any shows? Playing one? Going on tour? Where? I’m inviting people to share this in the comment section.

I spent some time trawling Instagram and emails to get us started: here’s a bunch of bands previously featured on Rosy Overdrive that are playing shows next month, listed by region below. This is in no way comprehensive, so please, if you know of (or are) an act I’ve written about with a show coming up, drop that in the comments too!

To be clear, you’re invited and encouraged to promote something in the comments regardless of whether the blog has ever featured your music before, but if I haven’t, then maybe it’d be good to give a little description of your music so we can all get a sense of what’s up.

This is a work in progress, suggestions are welcome (the list could use some organizing/formatting help, yes) and I’ll make it a recurring thing if there’s interest in it.
