There are quite a few gigs booked for May so I am wondering if these have now been rebooked or the bands are unaware of the situation?

show has been moved to drummonds, other acts booked will either be performing at the tunnels or at drummonds.

those involved are all aware of the current changes that are going on.

I suppose that doesn't make it so weird that it's being turned into hotel rooms.

It's still weird.

Anyway, to chip in something on topic, I had a blast when Grooverider spun rekkeds there, back in the day. FREE GROOVERIDER!

My happiest memory of Kef is of a gig where some absolutely terrible only-on-the-bill-to-sell-tickets band were playing, and giving them a hell of a lot of stick for being absolutely terrible. Giving them hell in front of their 'fans' (read : neds) and nearly reducing their 'singer' to tears was quite possibly one of the funniest/worst things I've ever done. Being threatened by a bunch of kids to "shut up or else" was also bloody funny.

I only wish I could remeber who I was actually there to see...

what are the last gigs and clubnights gunna be at kef?

Lat night's playground was fucking awesome, but questions should be raised about the bouncers at Kef. Two of my mates were thrown out for apparently smashing glasses (which they didn't do at all), and then when a few other mates spoke to them ouotside, the bouncer wouldn't let them back in either.

Fucking disgrace.

Being in a band myself, I don't as a general rule ignore bands who aren't hip and established! It was just the way that night panned out - a load of folk I hadn't seen or spoke to for ages were upstairs chatting and drinking and we just kind of forgot to go downstairs when they were on!

Gutted I didn't see them properly though!

So did anyone here go last night then?

Pretty gutted it's closing to be honest, I go pretty much every week. It's about the only half decent club in Aberdeen, other than maybe Snafu. But tbh Snafu doesn't do a lot for me other than the fact they sometimes get good djs like Erol Alkan and Vitalic.

I don't really pretend to be a connaisseur of dance/dj'ing etc but generally I liked what I heard at Kef. And it sure as hell beats the listening to a rundown of the top 40 in Priory, Pearl Lounge or Liquid. I might just stay away from clubs completely now. Aberdeen is fucking shit

I heard the hotel is to have hourly rates.
