edit; also, i'd spoken to algernon about the tour before the dates were announced and we'd kinda yeeha'd about a date up here. maybe it was just talk but whatever; i still thought it was a possibility.

If you used 'yeeha' as a verb in an e-mail to the band, it may have counted against you.

This was right good this was. I missed the first half of Carson Wells which I was a bit gutted about since I didn't manage to catch you guys before I left Aberdeen. But what I did see, I was mightily impressed with. Well done lads.
Teenage Cool Kids were really really awesome and great fun to watch.
And Algernon were just utterly brilliant. And fuck what I said in the Pixies thread about Kim Deal, the drummer in Algernon is the most entertaining musician I think I've ever seen. His face-pulling was immense.
So yeah, a good night.

The drummer's face > every other face in the world.

So good.

prolly could have made the algernon slot but i was too tired and smelly. manchester was insane! i think there was 100+ or so people. so much bouncing that we caused cracks in the ceiling of the rooms below (whoops). peter fireman lifted randoms into the crowd who then surfed the wave, there was an (attempted) 10 man pyramid and an incredible amount of jumping/fist pumping.

i think i'm too old for following bands around now though. im off back to bed.

oh, and yeah, tank is pretty much the coolest guy ever. we started the longest "whoooooaaah" to serial killer status ever and he kinda stood up and roared like a bear.

Tank is totally the man. So posi. One of the tightest drummers I've seen and hit really hard. Algernon were great and there new tunes were good and went down really well.

Liked bits of TCK, but wasn't totally into it. Reckon if I'd heard more of them on record before hand I would have dug it more.

Good night, shame about the reletively low turnout. Well done to Kenny, Toe and Sarah for getting it done!

low? wow! thats mad. i thought this one would have been rammed!!!

[Huw]

yeah. I think 60 odd turned up in the end. not bad, but i think many expected it to be more. was kind of expecting it to be totally wild as well, but was quite subdued. strange, but great nonetheless!

Aye, it was about 70. Not really sure what happened, perhaps our warnings to get down early put people off entirely? Dunno. Still, we were able to pay them a good bit over their breakeven (just as well, with the van debacle) and I had an absolute ball. And we got pretty rowdy afterwards, those boys enjoyed their introduction to whisky.
