Also remembering that the weekend show was supposed to have an out of town headliner, how many people were there to see them specifically i dont know. Was good that even though they didnt show up, it could still be a success with just local acts.
I suggest that if an area has strong local acts (of any specific genre) that can pull in their own fans, major acts of that genre are more likely to be interested in playing because their guaranteed a sizeable audience. No bands worth their salt want to travel to a random city and play in front of 30 people, resulting in the monetary expense of the gig outweighing its profits.
Aberdeens metal scene could definately expand considerably, theres a wealth of exciting new heavy bands around scotland at the moment, and like baz was saying the quality is definately on the up.
If aberdeen locals continue to support their local talent more, theyl be more likely to be able to see their favourite international artists come to town as well. So hopefully the success of these last few gigs can continue!
I want to see Cannibal Corpse in Aberdeen!
