    These shows are gonna be crazy, real punk rock fucking madness!! FACE TO FACE redefined the "So Cal" sound back in '91 and went on to influence everyone from Blink 182 to Dashboard Confessional...Anyone needing an insight into the works of FACE TO FACE, I'd strongly recommend the comp album "Everything Is Everything" which draws the best songs from all their albums (prior to How To Ruin Everything) and documents their progessive music career, from high-octane so-cal punk through to the harder edged classics on the self title album, to the ahead of it's time brilliance of "ignorance is bliss" (no emo band today comes close to the magic on this album) and then a return on form on the last tracks from the awesome album "reactionary".......this is where it all came from....check it out...

  2. Eradicate (reunion tour of castlegate) played their with liber 8 to about 3 folk..we also played with Tar to a couple more folk which was pretty good, but metal prevailed at that time (this was before punk got big again due to blink 182 et al)..I played there almost all the time with Collateral Damage....funnily enough some people liked it....Definite Choice have exclusively only ever played in drakes..sometimes to 3 peopl...Ruptured Spleen's first gig was there with a european/london based indie/emo/jangly/rocky type band back in 99...their drummer loved us as we did a cover of EMF's unbelievable (still got the live tape, and someone shorts "you certainly are"...cheeky caants)...first gig I saw there was Karloff probably in their 1st incarnation, it was jam packed....I'd have been 16....that'd been 1998 maybe.....was best pub for getting totally hammered in under age :D cheers....Oi Polloi always put on a good show....a german punk band (not the shitty one that played with familiar) got one of the best nights ever going there...crowd just went fucking nuts, more stage divers on stage than band at one point...what was there name...singer wore ace cheapo shades......best night was probably me singing for Scatha....had been joking to them I would do, but was way too pissed, although got shouted up to come sing and just went nuts.....fucking ravenous applause.....pissed off Phobia never got their ass in gear on their tour to play Aberdeen as they were supposed to, and that would have fucking rocked...like Oi Polloi meets Napalm Death....hardly ever at the new drakes these days...it ain;t the same...I loved the lounge, I love the easily accessible toilets, I loved the corridor, I loved the little hide behind the pillar bit .... I'm all up for drakes moving back to castlegate!!!!!! :dunce:

  3. It's an open source audio codec, its actually pretty good..I've done some tests exporting to ogg and mp3 from Sound Forge and theres not much difference, the ogg files I'd say are even better, they just still have that toilet flushy sound to them, but its on a different frequency from mp3's...don't know any of the technical shite....

    Check out the FACE TO FACE album "Everything is Everything" which is a comp of all their albums ('92-2000) and has a fucking awesome cover of "Tommy Gun" which pisses all over the original by a long shot!!!! Also a great cover of the Jam's "That's entertainment".....bung it in, its a winner!!! :D:D

  5. On a personal level, my drum machine is an absolute indespesible tool when it comes to song writing! Its not always so easy to record a drum kit in a block of flats (although this has been tried :D:D) and I can play the SR16 waay better than I can play any real drum kit. yes, the dynamics and feel aren't quite up to an accoustic kits standards, and I can always spot the sound of a drum machine over a real kit. Also live....I did a tour with a drum machine, and despite being a headache with regards to monitoring (in Europe they let you get your amps passed 3) and couldn't get the same intense resonance going through my body to keep me in time...it was a bit of a wasted tour...plus no one really took the drum machine too seriously (bunch of crusty punx in any case).

    I quite liked AKA The Fox w/ drum machine, although I like my music LOUD...seriously LOUD, and I hate the sound of a loud drum machine, they louder they get, the faker they sound. I guess it all comes down to personal taste....personally I love the ear drum damaging sound of a real kit, plus it just looks daft when theres no drummer.....
