well? is there enough innovation in aberdeen or not, music wise?

(and by that, I mean music in general - are promoters for instance making the effort to create innovative line ups? are bands trying to diversify enough to hold interest? you make the questions..)

We've got grindcore shit in SPD, horror punk in Karloff, pop-punk in Broken Sunshine, death metal in Vomitus, heavy stoneresque shit in 7 Stone Under, slightly more accessible indieish rock in Turning 13, jazzy musings in The Simon Gall Band, screamo or whatever in MMw, redneck influenced rawk in Deadloss Superstar - need I go on?

Aberdeen is a pretty diverse more rockwise in my opinion. Much better than a lot of the scenes I have any experience of. Perhaps more electronica and hip hop oriented stuff would be lovely but I'm never sure if there's that much scope for it live in the 'deen. Watch this space though

i dont think we do, its very narrow

we dont have any stoner rock

Whats this, Vomitus be not this Death metal, but the finest Norweigian Tr00 Kvlt Black Metal!

Bonesaw and Hearsecrash (sp?), on the other hand, are death metal.

I have a feeling there may be a few new heavy bands coming up soon, but my wee theories have been known to be way off.

There is a fairly healthy and innovative scene in Aberdeen. Lots of good bands with varied sounds and i for one am particularly proud of the scene we have up here and it's a shame that a lot of good bands are ignored because of geography.

Narrow ?

Well Trip Tych was certainly not narrow in range. T Model Ford to Kid 606 through Wire and Giles Peterson and Pink Grease and Komputer.

Well Interesting Music / Unknown Pleasures have put on a wide range of artists and are continuing to do so.

For the population size and geographic location of Adeen we certainly get a wise range of artists. It takes a little guts to go and see something different or something you have never heard of but it tends to be pretty rewarding...

NB The granite city has loads of stones and rocks so maybe we do have stoner rock

everyone is talking about diversity but diversity does not equal innovation.

those bands are not from aberdeen, i think he was talking about bands from aberdeen
i do thinkwe get some special acts up here, and i do believe that the interesting music guys put a lot of thought into their shows, gutsy stuff but must be satisfying

Brian's eyes are only like that 'cause of the stress of Fudge

n.
1.The act of introducing something new.
2.Something newly introduced.

I think the diversity of all these bands means that they were introducing something new to the music of Aberdeen if not the music of the world.
