That will be this gig then!

Music made by Glastwats?! Could help myself

We had fun and Andy survived his first full gig as 'the' singer! Falling Red were funny

Nah, that was yesterday! I'm really excitied today. I have put a line of Aberdeen bands together for a showcase in Glasgow! Just need a Glasgow music programmer to fall for my slight of hand and play on words now I think I'll stop now as I feel I have made perplexity known

I have now followed the links and checked out the bands. o_O Nothing there really to suggest that there will be or should be an/any audience there that night. I would probably enjoy Rodan if I had walked into The Moorings for a passing pint and they happened to be playing. The rest of it can 'get tae foock'! I have now added a 'Big man' big man... Sorry, been viewing Limmy.com

Used to play along with the DJ's at the pelican club back in the day. Great fun!

Well, I don't know about anyone else but I cant wait! I'm going along to find out exactly what it takes to be the next big thing in the music business. Something I know that Aberdeen Musicians have been crying out for. Thankfully someone has seen the light and decided we need Glasgow to come up here and show us the way! Sarcasm aside Im sure the bands may be alright but who the fuck in their right mind thought this was a good idea?! Is this the new music programmers brilliance at work? o_O Again, I'm happy to be corrected on any and all points! and is an Unsigned Showcase not just a gig?! I played an unsigned showcase at the Moorings last night! Pick a venue with a local line and hey presto... I'm tired and grumpy by the way

300 is the price.

Anyone care to explain to me what the Glasgow Unsigned Showcase is that I've seen advertised as coming to the LT? Cant get my head around it. Is it a gig swap thing or something?

8.30 sharp for some trashy garage blues Tupelo Action. See, I use the word blues and instantly question myself if it is the crap-white-boy-blues-lite that is tepid by the book watered down shit! Or something a little more ballsy fuzztastic howlin poundin noisefest. Thankfully we are the latter! First signs of this being that bass fellow, Andy, has all the distortion noise pedals that the guitarist usually has and guitar chap, Phil has but one pedal, sometimes!

Anyone interested in a wee kit (shell pack) in immaculate condition with cases give me a shout.

Not really been arguing with you over this. I don't doubt for a minute that there some truth in what you are saying re the selection process. However, it is probably not quite as conspiratorial as you suggest or think... I have never been involved at that level so genuinely don't know. Its the music industry (with a small i) so to believe that this doesn't happen in some manner would be folly but if it the case of pushing a band that 'do' stand a chance then fair enough I say.

More like daft

You can always completely ignore the event and buy a pint instead!!!

And that is another good point well made... Its a fun gig not to be mistaken for a big career opportunity!

Point out the dodgy part? As stated 10 dollars is about the same cost, if not cheaper, than buying an appropriate sized padded envlelope that will hold a nice photocopied/printed biog and glossy photos along with a well packaged CD. 'Hmmmm. Will I stay sitting on the couch in my pants munching pringles an upload some MP3s to the World Wide Web during the adverts in Lost or will I head out in the pissing rain?' Now correct me if I'm wrong but actually investing some TLC and money to promote and market your beloved rock n roll pop combo didnt get phased out with the demise of vinyl as the popular method of listening to music?

Read the well put post above yours and also 'get over it!' (and yourself while your at it) You really are a tiresome young chap arent you!

WOW!! What time are Flowers Of Hell expected to take to the boards? Band practice but will finish early hopefully

We will be faffing to the minimum. Using house guitar cabs Bass head to swap Toms to tweak to the right height Harmonica mic as second vox mic Fear ye not Flash! We are not too precious and far too long in the tooth to be a pain intentional pains in the ass...

This, if not so tragic, morbid and real, would be a great new book by Chuck Palahniuk

About time this got a wee nudge up the boards! Anyone intrigued as to the joyous noise the other, not Ziggy, parts of Staccato Set are now doing should get along for 8.30pm Not a squeeze box or acoustic guitar anywhere near what we are doing...

Bri, you and Craig should award yourselves something sometime. Are Samurai Fury a real band by the way or are they a pastiche of something bad?

He's a brick shit house I'll give him that. You also supprt ICT so benchmark ain't too high You can have Foster if you want, just take him, just take him!!!!

I wouldn't hold your breath...

That's the idea... Intrigued are you?
