With such a diverse output of bands in Aberdeen, which bands do you think have what it takes to really hit the bigger audience, are there any that have what it takes to attract the majors and get the good supports and get out there, or are most bands going to end up playing countless small gigs around the UK making no money and having to keep their day jobs ?

Obviously i discount any of the bands i work withj on this cos they're bound to be huge

Seriously though, does anyone have what it takes, and for those that might have what it takes what do you think they need to chnage (if anything) to make it.

Cheers

To be honest I can't think of anyone at this present time which band could be the next big thing. Give it time and there are a few with a lot of potential though

maple and les reno amps have that sound which could be big (not my thing at all though!!), eric euan, aka the fox?



julia thirteen are almost signed to a major

alamos *cough* we gave em their first out of town gig *cough* are about to go big

guts on fire of north east scotland have a cult following (if you can call them an aberdeen act)

Immortal Wombat.... they're quite big

Annie Lennox and I guess driveblind are out of the scene now

the videos could go pretty far i reckon..Turning 13 have already got a fair bit of respect in the scottish music scene and with a bit of publicity i think that they could do something pretty big. Ive only seen aka the fox once but it was a poor gig cos the sound was shit but ive heard really good things about them. Daedalus are looking and sounding really good just now, the singing is fucking ace as are the wee geetar parts..the only problem is interpol kinda have that whole reverb thing going on but i dont see any reason why daedalus couldnt make it big. Theres a lot of good bands coming out in the city at the mo, it just takes a lot of hard work. A lot of people argue that theres a certain age bracket in which you have to make it and to a certain extent this is true. The argument goes like this -' a group of 'lads' or 'trendy's' would probably think it 'uncool' if a four 40 year olds were to pop up on the old tv screen.' . To a certain extent that is true but i think that if you are a true music fan age wouldnt matter one bit..however the type of society we live in sees image as everything which always gets confused with the music.
