Just the kind of gig I love to go to in Aberdeen. 4 bands each playing something different. Surely something for everyone at this one and the chance to check out something new.

Entry is £3 and the doors open at 7.30pm.

It's the place above the Lionel Ritchie kebab shop, it's essentially a cafe bar kind of place..very clean, usually empty and not really a good place at all.

I don't know anything about this gig, but to create a decent atmosphere, the chairs and tables will need to be removed and a stage of some sort built - otherwise, it'll just be flat.

"the Lionel Ritchie kebab shop" is that on Belmont street?

[Drew DigiTek]

yes it is, I have rapped there before with Tha Flava and its horrible, no sound system its all hired and PISH. Its really bad the roof is tooooo low for a stage to be built so will be flat in crowd shit. Only good time to do shit there is Under 18's Hip Hop night on a friday with The D.O.C because it is packed ! Done that twice and it was a laugh lol (and the DJ is shit hot)

If its horrible for a vinyl record and Mic . . . . its gonig to be pish sound for a band.

just my opinion and experience there

All you need if your a band is a PA for vocals and thats that...get an ok sound from just the amps/drum kit. How many people does the place hold? It says on the ALL site that it is where elementz used to be?

I suppose it would be sensible to 'wait and see' before passing judgement on the venue as far as sound for bands go. There's no sense in writing it off before its even happened.
