BalconyTV -- the biggest independent music platform in the world -- will debut in Portugal on the 25th of January the "BalconyTV Sessions" that will take place in the iconic Santiago Alquimista in Lisbon. These will be monthly events that aim to go beyond mere live music shows - concerts, exhibits and conferences about the independent music industry will be the foundations for this unique concept in Portugal.
"We want to promote emerging artists, and make this event the starting point to consolidate Balcony TV's activity in national terms. Since 2011 we have been the greatest exporter of Portuguese musicians to the foreign market, but the time has come to create new ways to move forward, while never forgetting our main activity -- to record artists playing in balconies with a view of city", are the words of Miguel Teixeira, Executive Producer for the North-American channel in Portugal. João Lucas, the channel's Commercial Director, known for working in the now extinct MoviePlay and also as the person responsible for managing artists from Roadrunner Record's international catalogue (home of Slipknot, Dream Theater and The Cult, among others), states that his involvement in the project was motivated by "the great quality of the productions and the desire to collaborate with one of the most exciting companies of this new generation of on-line platforms, but that, in Portugal, was in need of events like these to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the media exposure that some of the older, more established companies possess".
The line-up for the main stage is set, showcasing Miss Lava, The Quartet of Whoa, Ciro (ex-Peste & Sida) and João Lobo, making quite clear from the start a strong bet on some of the best emerging bands today.
