I don't go to many gigs these days and have lost touch, based on my love of blues and rock and my insistence on bands having accomplished musicians who might even like to show off a bit.... who would you nice people advise I check out?

G...

[Shaki]

Geryy Jablonski is still on the go!

Other than that I honestly don't know what to advise that would fit within your criteria. All the bands I know are too cool for that mainstream shit

Perhaps my pointless response will bump this and someone can give you a better answer....

[GraemeC]

Just checked out Flaming Katy and thats just the "mainstreem shit" i'm looking for....

When you gigging next?

[Shaki]

Thanks I would have suggested us if we still existed! Haven't played together for about 18 months. I suspect we raised the Aberdeen Pop-Rock bar so high that everyone else gave up.....

Cast of the Capitol and Indian Red Lopez are both fairly accomplished indie rock bands still on the go.

I might suggest that that bar has been set pretty high in the past, but theres nothing wrong with a bit of self praise.
Have you split or just not been bothering? seems a shame!

Aye, the standards were set in the 90's/early2000's by such bands as Slipstream and the highly underrated Rubber Ring! (You were Slipstream's manager and put them and us [Rubber Ring] on a few times in Malt Mill no?)

I think Flaming Katy have split up. One member left and the rest of us haven't done anything since. Perhaps we're estranged?!

Bloody hell.... thats a while ago!!
Wasnt really thinking of Slipstream, good as they were!! I did also manage Liber8/Alyssa's Wish who did set an example for others to follow....in my opinion

An obvious one but... Amy Sawers. Always a treat.
