  1. jesus christ - here we go again......

    the people of aberdeen moaning (again) due to the price of something.

    Well....I think 6 to see 4 bands (and even 3) is great. Plus, I assume it includes the club afterwards.

    The bands that are on are amazing. We are the Physics especially put on a great show.

    6 is resonable when you take in the cost of venue hire and putting on the bands. You guys should stop complaining and look forward to a great night and if the price REALLY upsets you, go make up your own night and see what price you can do it for.

  2. I went to see (from what i can remember) The Guillemots, Cut Copy, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Men Women and Children, Jenny Lewis, Milburn, the Automatic, the View (not my choice)...

    There were more but I can't remember.

    I drank way too much and met lots and lots of cool people and danced the night away.

  3. Ok so clearly the £11 fee cannot be justified

    errr.....did you not read Ross' post....

    very expensive.

    The booking agent sets the ticket price.

    I've put it in bold to make sure you can read it.....

    And,in addition, Ross works very hard. He comes home late every night and works early. All to make sure people in Aberdeen get the chance to see some decent bands.

  4. i had a great time - saw lots of bands I've never seen before.

    Saturday I went to see - half of Jimmy Eat World (crowd were rubbISH, some of the Futureheads , Suzanne Vaga (brilliant voice), Allergo (great performace, really tight, fantastic). half of the Magic Numbers (sounded amazing, great crowd and they looked like they loved it) Battle (amazing, band of the day for me - can't wait to see them in August at Moshulu), Envelopes (were alright - can't remeber too much about them though)

    Sunday I went to see Bloc Party (sound was awful and they looked rather lost on stage which was a shame), The Subways (only saw the last song but they sounded utterly amazing, really wish I'd seen the whole set) Your Code Name is Milo - good stuff The Dears - great sound. The Go! Team - amazing front woman, amazing crowd reaction, fantastic sound, utterly brilliant music, really enjoyed them - band of the day for me

    Art Brut - great band but couldn't hear half of the vocals. Much better than i was expecting. Duels - heard great things about them and they lived up to their reputation, great band.

    All in all, a great weekend but now I feel I have to buy loads of CDs.....oh well....

    Edit - yeah I agree that the layout was pretty bad...but Ross and I spent most of out time near the Xtent and The Futures Tent so it wasn't too bad for us.

    I also agree about the Hospitality area - thank god for the flushing clean toilets and the small queues for food and drink and having somewhere clean you could sit without lots of empty bottles.

  5. I'm starting work in August, have a wedding that I'm bridesmaid for, my older brother and his wife are expecting their first baby and I'm graduating.

    I have just been on holiday to Spain, stayed in a 5 star hotel near Edinburgh for my graduation ball, moved in with my boyfriend and been to Glasgow and Inverness a few times.....

    Sounds really busy but I'm still SO bored......theres only so many times you can clean a flat!!!

  6. C This is a major victory for the Lemon Tree. Is this the start of something big? Are our local venues finally starting to play with the big boys? I for one hope so.

    Once again' date=' nice work Lemon Tree, nice work.[/quote']

    Well I think a well done should be given to the person who actually got the lemon tree the gig....which was not the lemon tree.....so well done to that person!

  7. This is fantastic' date=' just bumbed into chap wearing a recognisable tee shirt, (AMT) who has travelled from Glasgow to Aberdeen to see the fantastic Mariisa Nadler tonight. He saw her @ the Venn Festival in Bristol a week ago & has told me that she is an amazing live performer with an ethereal voice, kinda gothic Kate Bush with a feel of Edgar Allan Poe in a free folk style.

    Is the guy from Glasgow an older guy called Alister?
