Y'know, I Like rock music. The instrument I attempt to play, many of my friends, my political allignment... I owe my discovery of these things to my discovery of (probably fairly bad) rock music in my 'teens.

BUT!

I'd really like to see some non-rock bands in Aberdeen. Is anyone doing Ladytron type electropop? Is anybody rapping? Does Aberdeen have a jazz scene.
I mean this to no slight to many of pretty awesome local rock bands I've seen, but I'd like a diffrent live experience. Anyone care to inject me with anti-ignorance medicine. If you're really nice, I may even let you give me it as a depository.

Well you should check out a band called Red Dog

they are an amazing bluesy band !

Check out the Lemon Tree brochure, they always have 'different' types of bands playing, from dub to jazz.

the Lemon Tree has great jazz stuff.
I play in a big band which i love doing, but its the music centre one so i'm not sure it couts as part of a "jazz scene"
but we are actually pretty fucking good.

dr drakes does live jazz nights and puts on all manner of things which isn't rock. last thursday opaque played. they were a 2 piece improv duo who played an intense noise build up kinda thing. very good. clive ravensby are worth seeing too, they are an improv colective from stonehaven and can be noisy swines but are very good. there's lots of good electronic things happen in aberdeen, and there's a strong hip hop scene as well. kef do regular hip hop nights and it's not your usually your gangsta stuff. check out estaminet for hip hop nights and different dj nights too. the lemon tree do a monthly radio magnetic night which does hip hop mainly but also had andy votel from twisted nerve up recently playing lots of different stuff. the blue lamp does regular blues and jazz live nights.

for something different check out the stuff coming up for trip tych, in particular the mute records night at the lemon tree. 12 bands ranging from post-punk with wire to lots of electronic stuff. there's a tiger beat 6 night at subway as well featuring kid 606 which is worth checking out if you're interested in glitchy techno.

drakes also does a regular open mic on a tuesday night which is good fun, mainly acoustic stuff.

also this week is rootin aboot at the lemon tree which caters for folk and country music.

Yes. Yes. Yes.



And I assume you mean suppository. I've no idea what a depository is, but a depositary is a 'safe place' for things.

I hate you because you're right, but then I look into your eyes and love you for making ME right, and a little embarrased.
Thanks for the info folks. Tryptich is looking VERY intresting, indeed. Have to see what cash-flow is like at the time.

Yes, Triptych is looking interesting, although doing sound for future pilot AKA again doesn't fill me with joy.

how does a band get to play said Triptych festival?

people have been saying to us that we should play it for a while now....but to be honest none of us know who runs it and wotnot

probably too late to play this years though
