i think everything is mostly the same as it's always been i was thinking about this the other day cos i thought.. mmm i dont know any of these bands (referring to various gig listings i had seen) but as you get older and your social circles and circumstances change i guess sometimes you dont notice what's going on in front of you there seems to be a large number of youngsters running around belmont street on a weekend going to gigs at drummonds and kef so there must be something going on surely!? i no longer have a list of all the bands so i dont know who they all are but there is still just as much going on - if not more - than there was 5 years ago all this "whats up with the scene" "the scene sucks" "there is no scene" nonsense has been discussed about 1000 times on these forums i have never seen any conclusions to the debate as yet.. i shall wait patiently.. long live AUBL! :]

We are mostly having fun weather is good having a beach party today i just woke up a bit early cos a coach hit the side of our bus and knocked the back bumper off and we have lost a gig so i need to sort stuff out its all very exciting everyone is mostly wasted..

howdy folks.. Hot Mangu and Captain Face are off to a far off land to play some gigs.. it should be super sweet if you're reading this and you live in Devon then why not come and see us! :] 6 Apr 2007 Club 103, Plymouth 7 Apr 2007 Zepher Club, Bideford 11 Apr 2007 Club 103, Plymouth 12 Apr 2007 Olive Branch, Barnstaple 13 Apr 2007 Voodoo Lounge, Plymouth for more exciting things check out [ Hot Mangu ][ Official Site ] you can buy our new single for 3 or get an album and a single for 10.. plus free DVD also.. we have just finished recording our 2nd single it'll be available on June 1st @ Drummonds Launch Night.. hooray! HOT MANGU xx

i mostly think that Machine Head's new album is frickin' great i've listened to it many, many times already... :] i have always felt that they are the best metal band i've ever seen live (and before anyone says anything - i've seen frickin loads of bands so sshhtt!) and i thought that after each time that i've seen them they're live dvd is amazing too btw.. however i was still waiting for that record that would give me that feeling this is definitely it the last album was almost there.... but this one kicks so much ass can't wait to see them again if you like metal and dont like this then you're a bigstinkypantsface! in conclusion... listen to Ben... he's right

damn straight! :] who wants to touch me?

no offence to craigie and brian cos i love those guys and they know this... but i didnt think much of this years "awards ceremony" there was a distinct lack of atmosphere for the whole night maybe cos i had a cold and was feeling rubbish probably didnt help much but i didnt enjoy the bands much and i thought the glitz and glamour of previous years didnt seem to be there at all.. had the fancy powerpoint presentation been working it may have been a bit better i just wasnt feeling it the voting should be more accessible in future i think that would help a lot ...also it almost seemed like "the people who drink in the moorings awards" i understand of course that its all a bit of fun but i do feel there is potential for a proper awards ceremony for local bands and if it was done really well it would be great fun and 8! phhht! :]

new machine head album has been listened to many times by myself (cos i did the bad thing and downloaded it) i approve. its super and i will be buying it *crosses fingers for somekind of dvd extra* more riffs and twiddly bits than you can shake a stick at cant wait to see them again! :]

i haven't read this thread all the way through so i'm not sure what place you're all in right now.. but.. i'm just glad to see someone else finds the farty noise the taps in the tunnels make amusing.. :]

AUBLooza VI - ALL DAY GIG FRIDAY DECEMBER 29th @ THE TUNNELS - Hexagonal Pensioners - Hot Mangu (5th birthday show) - Longhorn - Crashdown - Retreat - St. HF - Open Air 2 entry starts at 4 ish finishes around 11 ish there were more bands but they're rubbish and decided they couldn't play the day before the gig hence.. Last EVER AUBL Gig i'll be there.. should be fun if you're band wants to play why not come down.. i might let you

to be fair... i only said tis once i like saying tis tis tis tis you went down in my estimation when you started your post by saying twat not very friendly now is it? am i unaware of the "aberdeeny" sound ? dunno really.. does it matter? is it supposed to sound like they're from somewhere else? or are we talking about ALL of the bands on the cd? because not all of them are from aberdeen and not all of the tracks were recorded in aberdeen.. will look forward to seeing you on the 29th or 31st at the Tunnels [ Hot Mangu ][ Official Site ] www.myspace.com/hotmangu

tehee i like how you "assume" that they are ripping off another bands style if under seige taught us anything then its "assumption is the mother of all fuck ups" does it sound "aberdeeny" cos they're from aberdeen? that is strange.. should we start recording in perth to get that "perthy" sound? as far as im aware they mostly just play whatever they want they are a band afterall tis what bands do they're music mostly sounds like the stuff that they listen to.. maybes try listening to megadeth, primus, faith no more, system of a down and maybes a bit of jimi... all at the same time.. see if that helps... although it might just give you a headache :]

tehehe i played that song from the carlsberg advert t'other night in the bassment its mildly amusing still... but perhaps just to me... ... as i didnt see anyone else with a midly amused look on their faces.. ah well..

thats because it is..... :]

all the best to marshall this xmas... hope you make a speedy recovery from everyone at AUBL/Hot Mangu HQ xx

Hot Mangu will mostly be playing at.. The Captain Toms/Fat Hippy Xmas Party Dec 22nd @ Drummonds and The AUBL All-Dayer Dec 29th @ The Tunnels and The Tunnels New Year Party Dec 31st @ The Tunnels hopefully catch y'all at some of the shows..
