11.30pm - MySpace.com - Chop Suicide - Toronto, CA - Rock / Rock / Rock - www.myspace.com/chopsuicideonline

"Canada's latest contribution to the downfall of society"
- Classic Rock.
Remember the Red Light Rippers? From the ashes of the
Canadian rockers now rises Chop Suicide, sounding something
like Joan Jett and G'N'R hurtling towards each other and
crashing head on in a bloody mess. This is their debut UK tour.
They have a track on the free CD with June’s edition of Classic
Rock magazine too, if you fancy checking them out...

10.30pm - Myspace.com

... as do Stockholms wonderful Apes I.Q. Pick up a copy from your
local newsagent. Apes mix Elvis with Swedish glam-punk and LA
style sleaze rock. “I’m only in it for the pussy!” they claim.

9.30pm - MySpace.com - BloodNut - Aberdeen, UK - Metal - www.myspace.com/bloodnut666

These gentlemen and their stoner / metal hybrid band
recently won BEST BAND IN ABERDEEN at The Fudge
Awards, and packed out the Black Tooth Rock Lounge.
Come and see what all the fuss is about!

8.30pm - MySpace.com - Downfall - Aberdeen, UK - Metal / Rock / Thrash - www.myspace.com/downfall13

On the go since 2005, this Scottish Heavy Metal band are
slamming something new on the table. A unique mix of

banging and your hearing tested.

SATURDAY 28 JUNE
CONTRA TBC + TEN TONNE DOZER +
STOLEN ORDER + DEAD METAL

MySpace.com - Element 106 - Aberdeen, UK - Metal / Death Metal / Thrash - www.myspace.com/e106

"We are a 5 piece Metal band from Aberdeen, Scotland.
The music speaks for us."

MySpace.com - Ten Tonne Dozer - Shetland Islands, UK - Metal / Rock / Southern Rock - www.myspace.com/tentonnedozer

Resilient five-strong heavy rock unit based on the remote
Shetland Islands. The band’s members’ geographical origins
and taste in music are extensive and varied, and this is
shown with great passion in their high-octane original music.

MySpace.com - STOLEN ORDER - UK - Rock - www.myspace.com/stolenorderband

Inverness based band who play rock music with riffs and,
quite possibly, wear a lot of leather and denim. They’re on
a mission to play bad-ass music like GNR and Metallica, and
it’s their first visit.

MySpace.com - DeadMetal - Aberdeen, UK - Metal - www.myspace.com/deadmetal07

You might possibly have seen these guys playing with Onion
Terror last month. They make a welcome return to the
world famous Moorings Bar. I think you’ll find the clue is in
the name.

NEXT SHOW AT THE MOORINGS BAR =



SAT 12th JULY 2008


SAMURAI FURY + RUE THE DAY + THE DIRTY ANGELS + RED MONGOOSE


MySpace.com - Samurai Fury - Aberdeen, UK - Rock / Metal / Punk - www.myspace.com/samuraifury

"Samurai Fury are a band from Aberdeen Scotland specialising in fast, dirty, shred Rock'n'Roll. Formed in 2004, the band have played an impressive number of blistering shows throughout north Scotland as well as supporting bands such as Electric Eel Shock, The Zico Chain and The Black Velvets.
With a hyperactive stage presence and a screaming, crushing, rock/metal fusion sound, they always serve up an excellent show of mojo driven, crotch fuelled fun!"


MySpace.com - Rue The Day - UK - Metal / Rock - www.myspace.com/ruethedayrock

"Early 2008 and Rue The Day are immersing themselves into a burgeoning metal scene; leading the charge of fresh British thrash talent. Unleashing their debut album on Casket Records and selling out online within the first day of release alongside glowing press coverage, a September UK tour and big budget film soundtrack beckon.
Recently back from a successful tour of Eastern Europe, concluding in a headline slot at the Party in the Prague Festival, Rue The Day’s music has featured on MTV 2's Headbangers Ball, a ‘history of thrash’ Big Cheese covermount CD and a number of extreme sports films - while the band themselves have ripped apart a string of high-profile venues."

"A strong sign that U.K metal isnt dead" 5/5 - Big Cheese Magazine

"Blistering metal-core. They've sure got some groove, as well as bags of ability" - Rock Sound Magazine

"Fiery traditional metal from promising young Midlands-based quintet characterised by twin lead guitar exchanges and battering rythms." - Metal Hammer

"If you believe that stage diving should be an Olympic sport, in the power of the mosh and that circle pits should always run counter-clockwise, then you need to listen to this record" - Mass Movement

"With bands like Rue The Day forming the backbone of the UK assault, things can only get better. They've managed to forge their own identity, that most elusive of thrash trophies" - Subba Cultcha


MySpace.com - Dirty Angels - Dumfries, UK - Glam / Rock / Punk - www.myspace.com/thedirtyangelsrock

"Debauchery, Excess, Blood, Sweat and Alcohol: Dirty Angels were formed out of the extreme lack of all of these words from modern day Rock 'n' Roll. Pissed off at the small minded-ness of their home-town Dirty Angels came together. Formed in '06, the boys killer brand of Rock n' Roll quickly landed them a deal with US based Glass Manacle Records. Dirty Angels hit the live music scene like an out of control runaway train and played to capacity audiences in the UK's premier live music clubs. Dirty Angels are poised to become the next 'big thing' in modern Hard Rock, and will challenge any doubters who say otherwise."


MySpace.com - Evil Demon Theory - Aberdeen, UK - Rock / Progressive / Classic Rock - www.myspace.com/evildemontheory

"Four like minded creatures with an appreciation of good music, and a desire to write their own. Each member brings something unique to this project, which places importance on meaningful lyrics, groovy riffs, wailing solos, fat bass and some angry drumming. Music with soul and balls."

***PROTOHERO***
MySpace.com - protohero. - Bishop Auckland, UK - Punk / Rock / Experimental - www.myspace.com/protohero

pace and with an unbridled energy and enviable dexterity, and
sometimes accordion. But not in a shit way!” - Metal Hammer


***RED MONGOOSE***
MySpace.com - Red Mongoose - Aberdeen, UK - Blues / Rock / Classic Rock - www.myspace.com/redmongooseband
