DEBUT ABERDEEN GIG FOR THESE SKATE PUNKERS

so something for everyone here methinks...come along...only 3!...doors 8pm

http://clik.to/gfn

Tonight!

im putting my request in for the song "gays" rather than just "rape" and "knives"

its been scheduled twice now for Lava...now after a long wait...MONKEY BOY are finally coming...playing Dr Drakes on 10th November!

This loony trio signed to Lockjaw Records (Thisgirl, Tribute to Nothing etc) consist of 2 bass players and a singing drummer...

press: "...bizarre, unique, stop start concoction of punk, blues and something else entirely" - Rock Sound

"HELL'S primates! ...absolutely shit loads of self-depreciating humour and some stonking tunes, means Monkey Boy really do stand out from the crowd ...Punk rock through and through." - Metal Hammer

"...kind of like something slammed together in a garage and then sent clanking out into the world totally ill-equipped to deal with modernity but still armed with enough saw-tooth do-whats and oojimaflips to see off way more state-of-the-art competition" - Melody Maker

"...Girls Against Boys' twin bass attack being forced through a mangler, they also recall the skewed lurch of the Jesus Lizard and the off-kilter stylings of Cable. But they're not content to merely, um, ape, adding their own distinct flavours" - Kerrang!

check these out at www.monkeyboy.co.uk or you could just check them out live @ Drakes on Nov 10th!

support from:

King Liar & The Brutes (pure rock n'roll) www.kingliarandthebrutes.co.uk

Broken Sunshine (debut gig for Aberdeen all girl punk band)

and Asian Morriesette (solo acoustic set from Gilman street frontman)

doors 8pm, 4 door tax

Errata have now cancelled too...so it'll be 3 bands...Dumpvalve, Multiple Injuries and Loaded...all of which are fuckin ace so get yourselves down cos it'll be well worth your 3...last time I saw Multiple Injuries the guitarist was playin his guitar with bananas strapped to his fingers so you never know what your gonna get with em..

id put my money on bein heavier than vanessa feltz and rik waller put together...

update: Reap have had to cancel cos 3 of the band have flu so the gig will be 3.50 instead

stillborn...their the ever cancellin band arent they? so i cant comment on them but gigs this friday so get yourselves along \m/

well its not local bands cos dumpvalve and multiple injuries are both comin up from england makin their aberdeen debut so check em out

REAP confirmed and i personally think their rather good...they don't sound like all the other metal acts in aberdeen who seem to either old school or extreme metal...and they dont have to be good..its a refreshing change

i particuarly like the look of 24th oct

most of tearjerk tour got cancelled but on brightside it means i should be able to come on thursday

featuring:

Errata www.errata.co.uk If you like your metal extreme then you'll love these Edinburgh metallers. Def one for fans of Raging Speedhorn etc

Dumpvalve www.dumpvalveworld.com Modern sounding melodic metal, this is NOT nu-metal so dont worry...more like Machine Head but with a unique twist. how these guys are still unsigned is a mystery to me

Multiple Injuries www.multipleinjuries.co.uk Brutal thrash metallers, heavily influenced by Slayer with a touch of Pantera and hardcore punk

local support from:

Loaded: metallica influenced metal full of metal and guitar solos

Reap (TBC): Hard hitting metal in similar vein to Soulfly

@ DRAKES, 24th october....4 tax (3.50 with a flyer...doors 8pm...dont miss this one)

hehe that sounds straight from the press pack but they are a really cool band and all those people who go to see all the household name/deck cheese/moonska bands should def check these out

Tomorrow night peeps, don't miss this one!

just added to the bill: THE REBEL JELLYBEANS

or a ho-down, i haven't seen a ho down in aberdeen yet...my old band revolutiinised the barndance moshpit back in hull

didnt expect you to post on here Stu...what with you bein from scunny lol

and if you didnt bother looking at my signature it'll cost you 4 and doors at 7pm

also some website addresses for you to check the bands out: www.shuriken.co.uk

www.tear-jerk.co.uk

www.maturepassion.aoas.cjb.net

SHURIKEN

those former Kerrang cover stars Shuriken return to aberdeen (last seen at Lava over a year ago) with their energy packed show.

"awesome young band" -fracture

"too fucking good to be called pissing emo" -metal hammer

INEPT 303

local pop punkers, you know these already probably

TEARJERK

melodic blend of skate and hardcore punk, played very fast with lots of energy

AOAS

aka-All of a Sudden, make their return to Drakes after an excellent set in May which included the bassist setting himself on fire on stage, bouncy punk from Glenrothes

+ 1 band TBC

latest update: G.A.T.C have pulled out and Eatyergreens are moving up to headliners and openers will now be bouncy punk from Moray called Certainly not the worst, think its their debut gig so give em support, 4 bands for 3, def worth it so come along

the DIY punk scene needs alll the promotion it gets so make sure you get yourselves along to this fantastic gig:

G.A.T.C (also known as Gobble and the Cocks): Old school punk rock meets early hardcore, kind of like Subhumans and some stuff by Stiff Little Fingers. Some of you might have heard them on Dislocate records compilations.

EatyerGreens: A lot of you have prob seen these before, Oi Polloi influenced DIY punx from Dundee, they only learnt to play around Christmas time but definitly full of attitude and entertainment

State of Affairs: dunno for certain whether these are gonna turn up but their a young street punk band influenced by Rancid, Misfits etc

Gilman Street: local skate punks influenced by Pennywise and NOFX, bits of ska too i think

so that's all a fine evenings worth of music, hope to see y'all there, doors 8pm, 3 entry and its at Dr Drakes
