I don't really see what any of this has to do with the thread. Are you trying to cause trouble with jonny lucifer so you can come accross as the "better" man? If so just start a new thread. I'm sure we'd all find it quite entertaining.

yes...again im the horrible nasty man...if ANY other fucker said what i said it wouldnt have been taken this way...blah blah blah blah blah blah fucking blah....

Josephine...thats ridiculous...i dont need to come accross as anything on here...just a bit fed up of the witchhunt...

*cue the posts now saying "oh ben do you really think you are so important that...blah blah zzzzzzzz yawn yawn yadda yadda yadda zzzzz"*

I have a fucking opinion like anyone else....why does mine ALWAYS get fucking raped...????

*toys royally thrown out of the fucking pram*

gig was good for what i saw....never heard of any of the bands before...but then thats a bit of a given with me these days

the dj sets inbetween were ace....

and the lounge act kinda band....forgive my ignorance at forgetting the name...were a nice change....good stuff i say

I was pretty dissapointed with last night, it seemed quieter than most of the usual fudge nights. The bands were all pretty ace, but couldn't have worked *that* hard on getting much of their fans along...

Take last years fourth party, 4 bands at the lemon tree, quite busy, heaps of games and a freindly atmosphere... i thought it was pretty ace. This year just seemed to be lacking the usual drunken fudge spirit. I feel sorry for the 4th band as i wasn't even expecting them to play... didn't know who they were untill the end of their set. I thought it was pretty groovy sitting down to the Simon Gal set after the only game of the night. SPD - pretty amazing, definately a unique combination of short songs and 'comedy', went to the bank and missed about 10 songs! Cuts, not really my thing - never been big on 80's new wave....

As for tar (and the anal punishers?).... it seemed to be a really, really old school thing, built up to be one of Aberdeens greatest bands - they did put on a decent show, but it only seemed to appeal to the Cults Academy kids of 19-oatcake... didn't do much for myself.

And as for the sound in general, i think it'd be an ace venue if someone could nail the sound every night, most of the bands i've seen there have had at least one instrument/vocals drowned by the rest of the band. It's a shame when a band puts in so much energy into a performance and the sound doesn't do them justice.

i thought TAR rocked! it was like being 16 again. like james said, if he'd written one of those songs now, undone, he'd be a fucking millionaire. it was good to see all the old crowd there and the reception for TAR was reminiscent of simpler times of yore. i didn't really like sucioperro very much, but that was more the style of music. simon gall were really good although i wasn't really in the mood for it so i lost interest before they were finished. didn't see the first 2 bands cos i was stuck doing the door.

I thought the bands were good. Sucioperro in particular. I think what Sharon was saying is spot on. Last night did have a bit of a high school reunion feel to it. Most of the people at the bar area clearly weren`t interested in the bands and we just out socialising with people that they havn`t seen in a while. Bigger fool them for missing a great new talent.

In terms of the venue then that`s pretty much up to fudge. They are the promoters and we are the venue. Sometimes I wish Moshulu had a concertina effect. We block off the seating area in front of the bar for quieter gigs which does help to generate an atmosphere assuming that the people are there for the bands. Can't really comment on anything else. Would have been good if it was in the old drakes....but heh.... can't live in the past, gotta move on.... ( Palace tonight for Crunchie anyone )

The cleanup is almost done.... fairy dust is now our cleaners thorn in her side....

Wow that sounds like an emo song.. ROFL...!!!!11111!!!!11!?!???!!

Last night JImmy from CLS did the sound. He`s one of if not the best sound guy in Aberdeen. I think the sound would have been better with more people down the front to soak up certain frequencies.

Usually you assume a gig is going to have loads of people down the front to soak up the sound and work on that pretext....

?! Then surely as one of the best sound engineers in this fair city he'd be able to adjust accordingly when it became clear folk were staying at the back.

I'd be interested to hear if that's true - never heard of it before! Genuinely interested...

Thats one problem with a lot of local bands they tend to play frequently(like twice every 3 weeks). If the bands play less often they will pull in more people when they do play.

well i thought it was a great night. all the bands were really good, and i was loving simon gall band.
having come away from it with a little angels poster and a chest covered in glitter i must say i had good fun..
