SHAWN THE OX

Now all you have to do is move the shop down to where it's less of a hike to get to.

Its only a 5/10min walk from Bruce Millers

hey shawn! congrats and good luck! .

Thanx dude

all the best to you with your new thing!!

you can 'shoot' the ee boys anytime

as a more standard suggestion what about doing deals on strings like 2 packs for a fiver or something(doesn't have to be a fiver' date=' just some kind of multibuy thingy).[/quote']

THERE WILL BE GREAT STRING DEALS!!!!

so some more musicman basses would be nice' date=' and some guitars please too, even just the SUB range would be cool to see

David[/quote']

I plan on stocking the SUB stuff in the new year

which H&K amps are you getting in? the uber cool (and rather expensive) stuff like the triamp' date=' or just the cheaper warps and suchlike (i did notice some H&K boxes downstairs when i looked in)

David[/quote']

Its the WARP, VORTEX & EDITION BLUE 15/30 & the 20th aniv tube combo

were stocking but i can get anything thay do if you want to buy a TRIAMP

i can get you one

www.hughes-and-kettner.com

i wander how many people would actually buy some of the stuff they are suggesting?

David

just what i was thinking!!!!!!

After months of careful planning

I am very pleased to announce the official opening of

ELECTRIC GUITAR, BASS AND ACCESSORIES DEPARTMENT

Downstairs @

PRO SOUND MUSIC

96 Holburn Street

Aberdeen

01224 211311

We are starting properly on Monday 2nd Aug

Even though we arent going to have a massive selection of guitars in the first week but it will grow slowly over time.

We aim to please all the unsatisfied players and future players that dont dig the shops we have in Aberdeen already

And simply try and offer an alternative to whats already there for people

Offering a wide range (eventually) of quality top brand guitars, basses and accessories

We have already secured dealerships with wide range of top brands

BUT!

What I would really like is

for you guy to tell me,

1, What you would like to see in a new guitar shop in Aberdeen?

2, If a shop is cool what makes it cool?

3, tell any bad or good experiences with guitar shops you wish to share!

Thank you for your time

Any input would be greatly appreciated

Please lets not have any name calling

[/quote']

YIP.....YIP YIP YIP!

wasnt the eric euan EP launch invite only????

YES! but people didnt have to come

the euan seemed to have an off night

cunt!clearly

HA HA HA!!

i had loads of fun tonight!

thank you fudge people!!!!!!!!!!

i dont want to go on about how great all the bands were

but thay were!

thank you again

hopfully get to share a bill with you all again soon

"but not too soon" Maxi

Eric Euan are now not the big crowd pullers they once were....shawn????

what! once were??

friday 26th march 2004 when we had 90 people in to are EP launch @ drakes

not bad i think

and i think we did alright 2night!

crowd wise anyway!!!!

normaly we tend to play once a month

but since the fudge awards we keep getting booked, sorry

were not playing in aberdeen again till 14th aug when we open for sunways @

the moorings bar

but we have been keeping busy lately coz were doing a wee tour

and we have been geting are shit together

sorry!!

I just started playing live about a year ago' date=' after home-recording for decades, and am still pretty nervous, but it DOES get a bit easier every time.

The best advice I got was from Eric Euan......If you make a mistake don't stop and say "Fuck it!".......the audience probably won't be as aware of it as you are!

Good luck!!

Not that ee ever make mistakes!!!! ha ha ha !

ok violence don't help anything!

and i was foolish to credit people with knowing i wouldnt smack a guy with a sock of 20p's

but!

in the real world you cant ask people to play gigs @ audio dropouts or fudge and then take the piss

i beleve the only 2 'cedar rose' bookings are 1 fudge night 1 audio dropouts night

and 'cloud' i will say 'play for me' coz shows dont just happen coz bands sit around slag'n each other off its coz some people put there money where there mouth is and put gigs on and its promoters pick the line ups.

and its a real shame coz theres so much pure talent in CEDAR ROSE (ex Phil) and the thought that they may suffer now he's 'mr promoter crittic 2004' a real shame and if i was in his band i would be having words!!!

With regard to the one badly attended Undertow gig' date=' correct me if i'm wrong, but that would have been the one with Chris Carroll and The Staccato set- one that i wasn't at myself coz i was in Australia and given the fact i was chief band promoter this dosn't surprise me at all.

Phil.[/quote']

FUCK YOU!!!

THAT WAS MY NIGHT!

WHY THE FUCK WOULD I NEED "UNDERTOWS" CHIEF PROMOTER TO HELP ME WITH MY NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

IT WAS PLENTY BUSY

CAN I REMIND YOU DICK FACE YOU GUYS ARE SUPOSED TO BE PLAYING FOR ME @ THE END OF AUG SO HOW ABOUT NOT SHOOTING YOURSELF AND BAND MATES IN THE FOOT BY COMING ON THESE FORUMS AND SOUNDING OFF AND MAKING A PRICK OF YOURSELF

USE THE HEED MIN

YOUR IN A BAND AND LOOK WHO YOU'V PISSED OFF

IS THAT HELPING YOUR BAND / MUSIC / PROFILE

NO!!!!!!!!

I THINK WE SHOULD ALL CHIP IN 20P AND GIVE HIM HIS 5 BACK

I MAY PUT THE COINS IN A SOCK AND SWING FOR HIM !

BUT HE WOULD GET A REFUND

My first gig with eric euan was supporting Karloff @ the lemon tree

I was totally shitting myself but

I knew what I was doing

I knew my bits and thats really it

if you know what you have to do just get on there do it and get off !

Stages are hot so take water on stage and a towel for sweaty moments

Spare; lead / picks / instrument

Be on time to sound check

dont piss about ! Its not a rehearsal

always treat the sound man / technical team / bar staff with respect

coz you want to be asked back and no mater how well you play if you act like tossers they wont want you back!

And thank them at the end of the night!

Be courteous to the other bands on the bill its so much easier to have friends and allies than rivals an enemies in this game

Thank the bands that played before you and plug the bands that play after you

its the least you can do considering you may be using some of there gear

Ok!!!!

Last night was an example of what the FUDGE guys do and do best!

thats put on a gig with a cross section of talent in a kind of something for everyone approach which is just what we need!

and its that attitude which makes the local scene what it is

The unique act that is - Spike Pile Driver, they are great (you ether get it or you dont)

The extreme musical talent of - the Simon Gall Band

The vibrant and refreshing - Cuts

I loved Sucioperro truly rocking and hard edged wonderful

thank you Brian I felt their set alone was worth a 5.00

A good fudge night!!! BUT..

TAR Must have been some kind of in-joke

That I didnt get

But whatever they took some friends along who seemed to have fun and they played there set

And as long as when people say old school hardcore they mean gruff punk tunes written buy kids when they were at school, Thats fine!

A great Zine was launched and the FIRST of the fudge birthday gigs

Happened.

Looking forward to next Thursday!!!!

Ha Ha !!

a week today get ready for some ROCK POWER from some of the coolest bands in the land

yip its real! its on his solo album called

'ASSHOLE'

I think?????????????

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!

Can't wait for Feverdream

rossp

yes! im looking forward to it to

everyone should go along and see feverdream!!!

There is a rare breed of band that just play beautiful, well crafted songs with edge and bite and imagination and who arent afraid to push the envelope a bit.

Who dont need shock tactics or theatrics to wow an audience

Just melody, harmony, dynamics, lyrical content.

you know good tunes!

I love that stuff !!!!!

And on Monday I wasnt disappointed!!

Truly a good night

I got very tipsy after! it was my 6th aftershock that dun it

im looking forward to this one

always good playing for fudge!!!!
