Whether that is the case or not the review of 3.5 stars in the Sunday Telegraph 24th of February just .5 of a star behind the predicted album of the year and the second highest review against Sony/BMG and Universal artists, has sparked a download frenzy for Very Unique Existence along with record website hits.
With all the reviews for the CD/DVD Debut "Everyone" breaking the 3.5 Star barrier and live critics, raving, it's a testament that the currently snow balling hype around Very Unique Existence and their self titled "Positive Consciousness Rock" is justified.
So many people have asked us "what are you guys about" and "what is Positive Consciousness Rock" we thought we would blog it once and for all, there are two main things that we are about.
So firstly, what is "Positive Consciousness Rock" ????
1. The foundational concept of the band "Positive Consciousness Rock" by definition is: The design, development and delivery of music, lyrics, songs that have an intentional positive impact on the listener. It's an energy thing, and intention thing, and it's what motivates this band.
At a practical level this "Positive Consciousness Rock" is defined by the fact that the band donate 10% to 20% of every door show they do to a local active charity in the town they are playing, along with supporting aid abroad.
This isn't a marketing gimmick, this is the core concept of the band and it's ground swell and vibe is spreading like fire across Australia and abroad.
People know that when they support this band by coming to shows or buying music, that it's being distributed as well back through their own community and they like the feeling of engaging with a group that has this level of universal consciousness as a constant, not as a one off.
The other unique aspect of Very Unique Existence is The SMP (Social Music Project) this is run mainly by the fan mailing list, see http://smp.thevue.com.au for details: essentially it allows fans to be directly involved in ALL aspects of the band and music thereby creating a situation where the band becomes the vehicle for their self expression.
