Marshall Amplification

In partnership with the Music Venue Trust, Marshall Amplification have launched a special t-shirt as part of their support of the #saveourvenues campaign.

All proceeds from the t-shirt will help fund grassroots music venues through the continued economic threats and challenges they face. Taken from UK rockers Bad Touch’s latest single, a rock and roll cover of Kiki Dee’s 1974 hit ‘I’ve Got The Music In Me‘, the t-shirt and Marshall encourage everyone in the music industry and their fans to stand up and support their local venues whilst declaring “I’ve Got The Music In Me”.

The single is taken from Bad Touch’s new album ‘Kiss the Sky‘ out now. Commenting on the partnership, Mark Davyd said “Music Venue Trust is delighted that a business so renowned for their connection to live music has stepped forward to help raise money for grassroots music venues. It may still be some time before you can visit a venue but you can help #saveourvenues by buying and wearing Marshall’s campaign T-shirt.”

Jonathan Ellery, Managing Director of Marshall Amplification said “Everything we do at Marshall Amplification and Marshall Records encompasses live music and we admire what Music Venue Trust are doing with their #saveourvenues campaign. We are excited to be partnering with them to raise funds and help grassroots venues to be able to continue to push the success of live music.”

Marshall Amplification, based in Buckinghamshire, have close personal connections not only to their local venues The Craufurd Arms and MK11, but to venues all across the UK that see their amplifiers on stage every week. Marshall was founded with the ethos to help artists make themselves heard on the very stages that are now at threat of closure.

Launched on April 27th, the #saveourvenues campaign has already amassed over £2,000,000 donations with support from likes of Amazon Music, SJM and a number of high-profile artists and music fans throughout the UK. Artists and Venues are being provided with tools and guidance to get involved with #saveourvenues to help raise funds and awareness with the target of helping venues during times like these. Music fans are also encouraged to show their support by engaging with the #saveourvenues shows and donating to their local venue’s crowd funding pages. Fans can also choose to donate directly to the main #saveourvenues fund via the campaign website.

Rock Science — the rock game of the century — will release a limited edition of their wildly popular board game commemorating the 50th anniversary of Marshall Amplification.

Containing 1,600 trivia questions celebrating five centuries of loud rock ‘n’ roll and the iconic artists who play it, the Rock Science Marshall Game is a unique collaborative effort.

One of the world’s most iconic brands of musical equipment, Marshall Amplification joins up with the rock game of the century, Rock Science. From early rock and metal to current artists, the Rock Science Marshall Game is a tribute to the immense contribution Marshall Amplification has had on music history.

“For a guitar aficionado this is a dream come true. 50 years of rock guitar history in one game,” says Rock Science creative director Jorge Bravo.

Rock Science is a board game for 2-6 players. The goal is to be the first to finish one lap around the board through the use of rock knowledge, clever betting and a bit of luck. Players answer questions about anecdotes, myths, rockers, albums, songs and sex, amps and rock ‘n’ roll. You can also be asked to hum the riffs of well-known rock songs.

* All questions have three levels of difficulty: Poser, Fan and Scientist. Poser questions are easier so anyone can join the game!
* All players are always involved since they bet on each other’s rock knowledge.
* With intuitive rules and fast gameplay it’s quick (60 minutes) and easy to learn

About Rock Science: Rock Science delivers games to a dedicated target group — rockers. The board game is the first product in the Rock Science family and is today sold in various language versions in the USA, the U.K., Germany, and Scandinavia. Nuday AB, the company behind Rock Science, was founded in 2010 by rocker Jorge Bravo and gamer Sven Folkesson, with headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden.
