You can find some of UGS' pics from the gig here. Was a fantastic night and an amazing tribute to one of the communities most loved. Well done to all those involved and i'm sure it'll be a night few will forget.

unless its true 2d and top down view, it'll never be swos to me.

This gig is going to be amazing. I think there is a fair amount of people coming from all over to see this one off.

The new album artwork looks ace. Can't wait to hear the music, mate.

Hey folks. I wasn't sure where to put this and i hope the admin don't mind me posting here but this isn't intended to be spam or anything but something that'd benefit this site and the users of it so here goes.

The one thing that myself and others have noticed and commented on is the lack of communication between sites representing other areas of the UK and British Isles so we came up with the idea of creating a wiki in which people can contribute their knowledge on their music scene and everything that goes with it, sort of like creating an online resource that all sites can use to get information on other parts of the country.

Some examples of why this might be useful include the ability for bands and artists who are looking to tour to find out some information about areas that they are interesting in performing at.

It'll also give the opportunity to the folks that run aberdeen-music.com to add an entry to the wiki to give information about this site and the services they provide to people in its locale.

We're also trying to get people to submit articles to the wiki about local bands in the independent music scene as well as venues that help bands and artists, recording studios, new technologies, helpful articles and things like that. It'll basically turn into a huge directory resource.

As we are all working with the same aim of improving the independent music scene right across the country, locally and/or nationaly, I thought it'd be acceptable to post this here.

If the administrators for this site like they can visit undergroundscene.co.uk and check out the site and add your links to our links directory. If you do it'd be great if you could return the favour and link to us too.

you can access the wiki at www.undergroundscene.co.uk/wiki and the main ugs site here...

Thanks again

i'm just tryin to get some of the Aberdeen bands some exposure out of Aberdeen but no one seems to be interested except you. You should send me some mp3s Graeme and i'll put em on.

the station is aberdonian. which means its ok to reply to this thread.

i'm just waiting on an address becoming available. Running a site from a laptop in a car wrecks havoc on certain things lol.

hi Graeme, good to hear from you it has been a while.

Yeah, bands can send their music to me in any format they wish if they would like their music played.

At the moment i'm just trying to get a good catalogue of music to fill a 5 hour an evening schedule. basically 6-11pm every weekday and something special for the weekends, plus the shows will be themed and maybe have one thats a total free for all.

no one at all wants any free air play at all?

Hey, sorry i didnt know where to put this so i slapped it in here. Anyway the undergroundscene.co.uk web site recently launched its online radio station and we're looking for music from unsigned and independent bands to play.

So if you have anything that you want played then leave a link here and i'll be sure to add your mp3s to the schedule / playlist once its complete

Some of you may already be registered on the site so its all good, if not then check it out and get your music that little bit more exposure.

Cheers

and keep up the good work aberdeen-music.co.uk represent!

i have to disagree with that last comment. They are a welcome break from the repetitive and ultimately samey music thats doing the rounds at the moment. They have also had a positive impact on people who listen to them; who are now going on to listen to the music that influenced the darkness. They are bringing modern day audiences back to the classic rock bands of days gone by. Surely thats not a bad thing.

you mean the Dancehall DJ; Sean Paul? I agree, he's everywhere, good when he wasn't doin cameos on everyones tracks. annoying, but i wouldnt wish death on him :|

*bitch fest* :| basically i dont like money making bands, for example, the 'musicians' that covered the John Lennon and Yoko Ono song to make money for their record bosses and those behind that steaming pile of shite that is 'make-a-band' TV.

>> when i say money making, i mean those commercially created with a sole purpose to make money, i.e.. pop idol etc etc. lol.

yeah i found it thanks to Jamesy's directions nice venue, had a good night cheers.
