    Actually..... I didn`t turn down.. These Arms are snakes...

    I wasn't ofered them....

    They are booked by Flower Booking in the US. Most Flower Booking bands go through Steve Zapp @ International Talent Booking. Thus if anyone is going to book them then it would be Paul Stewart.

    OK, understood very little of that...but ok...cheers! :up:

    "THE INDEPENDENTS is a unique, original, exciting, infectious, possessed new band. They put the "fun" back in funeral. Great songs, punk meets ska meets surf meets the Ramones, with a touch of Elvis. They hail from "Hell" Florence, South Carolina. Daniel Rey and myself just produced 14 songs. The record sounds great! There is nobody like them!" - JOEY RAMONE (former manager of THE INDEPENDENTS)

    www.theindependents.net

    Formed in the early 90's by Evil Presley and Willy B, The Independents was born out of the frustration of music being stereo typed and just plain fucking boring. Willy and Evil both loved all music, from Conway Twitty to Iron Maiden, from The Ramones to Etta James and the Specials. Both loved horror and sci fi movies and wanted to find some way to include it in their music. Evil started writing lyrics that told horror tales while Willy kept the guitar in one hand and gave all of the world the finger with the other.

    After a few years and a few members, they signed a small indie deal with Rockduster Records and recorded their first album "In For The Kill". It was during this time that Evil met and befriended the bass player for the legendary Ramones, CJ Ramone. CJ got the Independents on a few opening dates of the Ramones' Acid Eaters tour. On their way to the first show with the Independents, Joey Ramone listened to some of the Independents demos given to him by CJ. He really dug what he heard and within minutes of arriving to the venue was introduced to the guys. After the shows, Joey made an offer the guys could not refuse. He told them he wanted to manage the band.

    The ghouls hit the road non-stop on tours with such bands as THE RAMONES and VOODOO GLOW SKULLS and an early BLINK 182 tour, also RANCID, REEL BIG FISH, and GREEN DAY

    Joey and the guys finally decided to sit down and record the next full length album "Back From The Grave". They once again called on Daniel Rey to co-produce with Joey. They went into the studio for two weeks, then took a break to appear in the mystery horror spoof film, "FINAL RINSE" directed by ROBERT TUCKER. Then they hit the road again.

    After the passing of their manager, friend, and mentor Joey Ramone, the band set off on a full US tour with the MISFITS. They cut it short for time to mourn. Now the guys have their heads and hearts together. Before Joey passed he and the band put the "Unholy Living Dead" EP and the album "Back From The Grave"out themselves.

    In 2002, The Independents found themselves back out on the road for US tours with the WORLD FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY and the QUEERS, EYELINERS and BRIEFS, as well as their own headlining tours. In early 2003, they released "Live From Murder Beach" on AMP Records and recorded a few songs for comps on such labels as Cleopatra , Fast Music and Peephole records. Now they are about to release the "Full Moon Arise" EP/CD ROM on Fast Music. Work has already started on their next full length CD. The non stop marathon touring is about to start up again, so beware. The Independents are going to play the music they want, when, where, and how they want.....

    in Krakatoa

    Posted

    We are well chuffed with the recording quality we got. It sound amazing....seriously! Wasn't the tightest gig we have ever played, but it was so much fun...I got chatted up by a gay guy, so we must have done something good...awesome.

    Everyone has to play at the moorings, re-inventing itself as one of Aberdeen's better live venues. Amazing amazing stuff.

    Cheers to everyone at The Moorings... :up:

  23. Broken Sunshine?

    there isn't *that* much Aberdeen punk bands. let's see:

    Five Finger Discount

    Gone2Far

    Broken Sunshine

    Gilman Street

    Point Of Origin

    Quik

    10 Easy Wishes

    thats all i can think of right now. let's see how many local Metal bands i can name:

    Black Atom

    Hot Mangu

    Ricastonia

    Spike Pile Driver

    Element 106

    Reap

    Open Air

    Vomitus

    Filthpact

    Double Jack

    i'm sure theres a few more metal bands kicking about. no-one really goes on about the metal scene in Aberdeen' date=' the punk scene tends to get most of the flak. why is that?[/quote']

    But dude, Quik aren't a punk band, don't most of you folks know that by now? When was the last time someone actually went to a Quik show and said, they are so punk rock?

    They mix up elements of metal, punk, funk and so on...

    From knowing the guys personally, they don't listen to that much punk rock, most of the stuff they listen to is post hardcore, metal or whatever. You know, bands like Thrice, UnderOath, Metallica, Pantera, SKID ROW (don't ask).

    But anyways, thats all I have to say.

    Cheers :up:
