The old cliche' of 'you guys are the best audience this tour so far' is one that i believe to be very much a load of bollocks, however, last night was a very different show in terms of Aberdeen crowds, and also after speaking to the Bromhead's boys all day about their tour and experiences, they didn't seem to be the kind of guys to bullshit..

The crowd last night was awesome, around 200 people in, and nearly everyone got well into the gigs, loads of crowd interaction, crowd surfing, dancing from both punters and the band, the tunnels was indeed buzzing and the Bromheads blokes left raving, and pleasantly surprised, with their first Aberdeen experience. Also, chances are, they're going to be fucking massive later this year, so it's only a good thing.

Also, Bromheads are a fucking mile better than Artic Monkeys, loads of fun, with a couple of pop gems.

You'll find most bands, especially overseas bands, love it in Aberdeen, cause it's a nice city, with a nice culture and good people. It's just a shame that the 'crowds' let it down from time to time.

Last night was definitly a high point, hopefully they'll be back this year.

I remember that. If you're going to mispronounce the place name at least get the right place first.

Them's the risks.

i couldnt think how else to get from being crammed at the front of the barrier in the middle to the bar. and i was fucking roasting and in need of liquid.

So that makes people chucking you out of the venue 'cunts'? Get real.

I dont believe that for a second, considering that the boys at Moshulu are good lads, and when it comes to gigs, 99% they'll run everything that's gig-related past me.

couldnt have said it better, the thing was that the group of us that went to the gig (around 30 of us - the rowan clan) have been fans for months and months and had the demos for a while, which made it like a gig from a band that have released loads of songs. Now this has to be the way forward, if you have demos, let people hear them, it makes a huge difference when they come to play live. Doesnt matter how amazing the band are, if no-one knows your songs or only a few songs, youre not gonna get a great atmosphere.

agree about the whole arctic monkeys thing, ok so they come from sheffield and write about what you see everyday, the same guy is giving out their demos bla bla bla but their sound is nothing like the monkeys. People who have just came to the conclusion that they sound like the arctic monkeys on the basis of how theyve went about their job are just ignorant.

P.s. get good shoes rescheduled asap, the reception will be just as good as bromheads, guaranteed
