One week to go, then it's:

MOTORMARK
+ PINEY GIR
and The Videos!

AT Dr Drakes, Aberdeen - FRIDAY the 21st of JANUARY - Eight pm till god-knows-when - £4

If you don't know by now, MOTORMARK are a boy-girl electropunk combo who just make you want to go beat up a Casio. Their second album was recently released on Alec Empire's legendary Digital Hardcore Records label, but anyone who's more familiar with their Popchild release can be assured the sound just keeps getting better and their live shows more incendiary.

PINEY GIR is a new treat to Aberdeen, playing her first gig up here ever! She's the toast of the underground ecclectic indie scene in London, with her tip-top synthpop swagger through every genre imaginable. From crooning swing songs to full-on Peaches style electronic sleaze, she's a sweet'n'sassy slice of American pie who's bound to inspire a lot of school boy crushes in the crowd. We're so taken with Piney and so sure you'll love her too that we've flown her and her band up from London for two exclusive Scottish shows.

THE VIDEOS shouldn't need any introduction around these places, filthy electrodiscoglamrock'n'rollers that they are. Marvellous.

Doors from 8pm, bands probably on around back of 9, back of 10 and back of 11.

Ohhh, sneaky, two threads on the go here! Well, no harm in a bit of trumpeting with such a sterling line-up, I say...

Well it is an "Official Sponsors" obligation to create hype

Anyone hoping for more than a crush on the lovely Ms Gir should be aware that I am going to Blackpool with her this year for the annual George Formby Convention. Ukulele players have all the fun.

See you were right Chilli!!

Unfortunately, The Videos can no longer play this gig. But fear not, we've got an amazing replacement (thanks to Graeme, Chilli and Sharon for their help!).

Motormark and Piney Gir will now be supported by the Aberdeen 4Bit Crew. Like retro-computer games and the Flintstones? You'll love this guy.
