  1. Ok stage times look like this (but of course I'm sure won't run as smoothly) but get down early 8.10: Shutterspeed 8.45: Autumn in Disguise 9.20: Escape to Victory 9.55: Edleweiss Pirates 10.30: Anonymous Tip
  2. Autumn in Disguise have asked if they can play and as they rather good, we've got an even tastier bill on the go! This means set times will be reverted back to 25 mins (with 10 minute changeovers as the plan as long as all bands hurry up getting on and off the stage) with 40-45 mins for Anonymous Tip and first band will be on at 8.10. More specific info to follow...
  3. Can any moderator change the title of the thread to replace Upstart Heroes with Shutterspeed. I want more hits (i think)
  4. Daydream Frenzy have pulled out as well. Thats 4 local bands that have pulled out of GFN? nights in 2 gigs, it's a bit annoying cos it seems like there is no point even spending hours walking round town getting posters up. Ah well, stage times will likely be: 8.15: Shutterspeed 9.00: Escape To Victory 9.45: Edleweiss Pirates 10.30: Anonymous Tip or something like that...
  5. The anti-terrorist advert they are running just now is very racist and I've heard a lot of talk during the daytime that is very anti-immigration, global warming denying, right-wing rubbish How is the sound on that pink radio Adam? Does it need to be listened to with headphones in?
  6. Who is all coming to this then? Shutterspeed will be on early so don't be late (and if you are coming for any of the local bands, please stick around to see the touring bands. Anonymous Tip are signed to the label ran by the legendary 90s punks Snuff!
  7. The radio I use at work can pick up only the 'racist' Talksport or Original (but only Original because no other station is daft enough to play nothing but Now That's What I Call Music CDs from the 90s) 106 and I think the time has come to buy a radio that I can hear 5Live or 6 Music on. Can anyone recommend a cheap one? And pardon my ignorance but are they just as simple as turn on and play or can they only be used in a place with internet connection or anything like that?
  8. I had Andrew Jones as a lecturer, a very chirpy guy, quite interesting. But don't be fooled, when he marks your work he becomes a right bastard! He didn't care for me referring to CNN editing John Cena's interview to make him look like a druggie in an essay about how reliable journalism is...
  9. If being a Hull City supporter has taught me anything it's that we are a lucky bunch. In 1998/99 the horrible manager/chairman team of Mark Hately and David Lloyd almost dragged City to the the conference for the first time only for Warren Joyce to steer the club to safety. Similarly in 2006/7 it looked like relegation from the Championship was definite until the final day of the season when Leeds Utd went down instead. And of course last season, everyones favourites for relegation managed to stay up thanks to Newcastle being even worse. So not only are Hull survivors but there is a history of sending big clubs down a division too. I predict at least 3 wins and 2 draws from the upcoming fixtures and for the Hammers to go down. Which seems fair cos most West Ham fans (with the exception of Steve Harris) seem to be knobs anyway.
  10. Now opening the night is the much anticipated debut of Aberdeen's favourite new band...Shutterspeed!
  11. Alas, no sooner was the poster made did Upstart Heroes inform me that they can't play as they cant get into Aberdeen as their from Ellon and none of them can drive or something...anyone else want to play?
  12. GFN? presents... Anonymous Tip Anonymous Tip are a four piece punk band from Twickenham, South West London. The fast and furious tones of Anonymous Tip have been rocking venues up and down the UK since their inception back in 2002. They have made a real dent in the underground punk rock circuit as an unorthodox group of punk rockers with an ambiguous message. Songs about archaic politics, confessions of nymphomania, fascism within rock scenes and their deep routed suspicion of the music industry, have helped them gain a notorious and loyal following. "Anonymous Tip focus on creating the kind of frantic sing-a-long anthems that are as intoxicating as they are totally irresistible" - Drowned in Sound Anonymous Tip give us plenty of reasons to keep the faith Rock Sound "Anonymous Tip focus on creating the kind of frantic sing-a-long anthems that are as intoxicating as they are totally irresistible" - Drowned in Sound check them out: Anonymous Tip on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Support from: Escape To Victory Escape To Victory on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Edleweiss Pirates (from Cambridge) THE EDELWEISS PIRATES (new song up!) on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Upstart Heroes (not the Upstarts, formely Under the Influence) Upstart Heroes on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Daydream Frenzy Daydream Frenzy on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads @ Tunnels, Aberdeen Wednesday 7th April 2010 7.30pm - midnight, 5 entry
  13. Fuck you too! I am actually quite gutted. Despite being 19th, they have been good at home this season the team has been playing for him and this is the man who took the Tigers to the Premier League (and kept them up!)
  14. Great night (cept for Tunnels being freezing as usual these days) Flora opened the night off well, both touring bands were a joy to watch, seemed to be enjoying themselves and just make such wonderful pop music. Deportees were a nice surprise, very prog at times - the 2nd song reminded me of what I imagine Peter Gabriel would sound like if he did reggae, I look forward to seeing them again. Wish there was a bigger turnout though...
  15. Is it a fiver on the door as well aye? I'm loving the new Allo Darlin' single (Download it free from fortunapop.com). I hope The School have copies of their album on vinyl
