Gatechien are fairly breathtaking! I haven't bought into listening to the recorded material as I just love watching and thinking 'how the hell do they make that sound and where's the other guitarist'. Always a fab experience! Craaaaaaazeeeee Frenchies!

A live video would be a good idea, I'd buy that now...

I didn't think Gofones were 'easily the best band in Aberdeen' but there was a lot of good stuff in there and I enjoyed most of it, keyboards got lost in the sound a lot and it's a shame because the guy is obviously a talented player. His banter was pretty shite like.

First time I've seen Le Reno Amps full band set up and it was good, not sure I'm so keen on a couple of the newer numbers but still enjoy watching them, they always look like they are enjoying themselves.

Some of Le Singe Blanc was good, some very Zappa like and some just nae my cup of tea.

After LSB I was so tired I almost had to surrender and go home but I'm glad I never, Gatechien were absolutely fantastic. A lot of that kind of 2 piece set up would just be a racket for the sake of it but there were so many great melodic hooks in the bass lines and the drummer was just amazing. I bought the 2 CD's they had on sale and after listening to the live one travelling about in the car today can safely say the sound travels well to listening outside the live act. For me anyway.

Nice one Shaz.

I did enjoy GOFONES last night, there was something about how it was so shambolic yet made sense which I thought was really cool.

La Reno Amps were the bee's knees, I really enjoyed them and I'll probably go out of my way to see them again in Aberdeen. Their bass player made me feel strange as well...

I saw some of Le Singe Blanc, but unfortunately I'm an old man so I had to go home to bed. Really wish I had stayed to see Gatechien, but I would have been paying for it today at work.

I know - its incredible!!!!!!!! I does sound like 2 guitars - yet its a 4-string bass?!?!

Its like watching Bug play guitar - "HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THAT !!!!!!!!!"

Personally I thought it was an under par Gatchien performance. I mean the drummer kept his top on for the whole gig. Sharron doesn't book them for him to do that, does she?

good result for St Mirren against Rangers apparently.

That was the best gig Iv been to in ages like. GOFONES were good, but I was hiding from someone and chatting to Kirk during the beginning of their set, so was unaware they were doing a soundcheck. Once they got started I liked their stuff though. Although - I did hear the fitba banter and was slightly puzzled. I saw Le Reno Amps play at that gig they did with Gatechien and Elephant Micah before, and they were just as good with more band members. Le Singe Blanc were really good! The guy we the hair may have possibly been the coolest person I had ever seen, but the other guitarist was Cameron Robinson from Neighbours' double, so he is the coolest instead.

Gatechien are great. I love them. When are they back?
