The Fire is about to go out... It needs stoked..... [/pedantic]

Yeah it was said on Radio 1 that AC/DC were headlining...... Bugger...... Eventually I shall see Aerosmith / AC/DC / Pearl Jam and the Wildhearts..... 4 bands i`ve wanted to see for a decade

You`re going to see Japan... Didn`t know that the new romantic scene was your bag... ;-P

Twas a good un...... Quite glad the Christiansen gig was moved to the back room as it had a great atmosphere...... Bloody hot in there though... Christiansen were ace....... rather like At The Drive In meets Kyuss They may well be back next year. Either because they really enjoyed them selves and were treated well or because I gave them cans of Irn Bru which you can`t get in the US..... you be the judge!

I never go out on a Saturday night..... I`d rather go home and do the dishes and listen to jazz than venture out into the aberdeen nightlife.... Sorry

I`ll go see Mozza Not a libertines fan although heard a song the other day that I thought was good... Find them quite dull on record... Seen everyone else though.

Could be.... THis was n old advert that I had Inverness was Venue TBC

I think it was by the powers of text.... Christiansen were ike ATDI meets Kyuss

How i laughed when I saw the touring schedule..... Leeds Inverness Aberdeen Leeds->Inverness is a monster drive and then the Inverness to Aberdeen road is a bugger.... I expect them to be very late getting into Inverness.

Personally i would say HWG were neither HC or "Emo" but heh.. What is punk? is now What is Hardcore? / What is Emo?

I feel that there are a lot of issues made here and some valid points etc. Most small venues that put on act do struggle to recouperate money from gigs and the likes. If a band is organised/professional and good to work with then I would have no problem paying them. I feel that all bands should be paid in some way for their performance. Truth be known that if you don`t put inthe ground work for your gig in terms of being organised and professional then many promotors won`t book you even for small support slots. Sometimes it amazes me when a band ends up getting a gig and all they do is stick up a little home made poster in one up and that constitutes their advertising. It is up to the promotor to promote the gig but the band should also take this as an oportunity to promote their band. For instance I`ve already seen information about Radio Lucifer etc and they`ve not even played a gig yet. Promotors at grass roots level generally have to put in a lot of man hours to get very little back. Although when it all works out it`s worth it in the end....tupence worth.

Nobody like Manequinn Republic...... hmm

Cowabunga
