  3. So does this mean the Lemon Tree might actually start getting some good bands again?
  4. Yas finally got a confirmation. Due to popular demand the mind mangling space stoner rock of VOM has been added to the bill. Nice one. (www.myspace.com/vommusik) Get your tickets folks so we can feel safe in the knowledge we're not going to have to sell our clothes to be pay the bands and go on tour. And trust me my clothes will not get much money anyway.

  6. Cleckhuddersfax(www.myspace.com/cleckhuddersfax) & Man Aubergine(www.myspace.com/manaubergine) are looking for gigs in Scotland at the start of August. Electropapknit would do it but we're gonna be on tour so anyone willing to put them on send me an email @ valentine_bitch@warpmail.net and I'll pass on your details. They are aiming for around 40 quid a band but are not asking for guarantees. I hope someone can help them out
  7. sorry lads but its pretty much sorted. just waiting for the final say. have a day off and come along and see the best drummer in the history of drummers (probably) play.
  8. I looks like we're very close to confirming the final band. Yay!

  13. Go to www.myspace.com/valentinebitch and you can buy the PVH album delivered for only 5. We are desperatelly trying to get enough money to release a 7" in time for the next tour so if you could buy a copy you'd make me very happy. 8 tracks for 5. Bargain. here are some things that people have said "Youve undoubtedly been subject to the elements comprising Aberdonian quartet Project: Venhell many times before, but never in this kind of blender. As erratic as a hyperactive chimp on crack, opener Pfft to Your Rules is a two fingered salute blurring blazing guitars with blood curdling howls and sporadic poppy undertones. This sets the scene for a snappy tornado-like debut, which, at just over 18 minutes long, is nearly over by the time the kettles boiled. Sonic Youth are over for a brew, as are Oxes, and The Fucking Champs brought the Jammie Dodgers, but lets not attempt any futile pigeonholing here. As vocalist Hines offers with his strangled vocal theyll think were just making this shit up as we go along, during Too Metal, theres a smirking self-awareness at play. Theyve not so much said Pfft to the rulebook as stolen our means to navigate it for a little while, and there's no harm in that at all." The Skinny SSSSS "So this is what they get up to in Stonehaven?A nice middle-class seaside town is how I see the place, so Pfft To Your Rules is probably the height of youth rebellion. The album is full of tunes with good titles and since theyre instrumentals its maybe a shame as their lyrics might be worth a read. I say instrumentals - ok, on the 8 tracks here theres plenty of incomprehensible screaming, showing that these guys are disciples of The Rawk. Oddly then, theyre described as Noisy danceable punk rock. Yes, the Shellac and Oxes influences shine through, but but Johnny Rotten they aint. Danceable? Well give them that. Theyre angular certainly, but quite suitable for an evenings thrash around the moshpit. Noisy? Were agreed on that one, oh yes. Creepy Silence is a blast, featuring as it does visceral finger-shredding nerve-jangling guitar. However, Too Metal is perhaps the greatest misnomer here - with shades of Macrocosmica but with a decided pop bent... well, when its not grinding to a halt with (we presume) with the vocalist writing round in throes of agony. Fearsome, frightening, and occasionally fun." [DB]4/5 Is this music? "I've never heard of Project: Venhell but I'm listening to new album 'Ifeelbackwhatthey'relookingatmefor" and its tremendous fun. I've just opened the inlay card of the CD and it just says 'Nothing.' It's Genius. If this lot ever give up music they could be art terrorists or comedians. Unfortunately I'm listening to this at home, the baby is asleep and the missus wants to watch Desperate Housewives in a minute so I'm not able to listen to the whole thing. From what I've heard the vocals are nicely distorted and there are some aggressive, speaker shredding riffs and tight arrangements on this here 8 tracker of uncompromising punk rock. Apparently they're from Aberdeen. They're well up for it this week these jocks like ;0) In conclusion: Music to wake the baby and piss off the missus. On Valentine Bitch Records" Norman Records
  14. Theres some videos posted up at www.myspace.com/electropapknit. check em out
  15. Stuck in the rain, getting steadily soaked, this is no way to gear up for live music. Thankfully I havent found myself in a muddy field yet, but this decidedly dreicht Monday evening marks a milestone on the approach to T in the Park with the first King Tuts showcase of T Break applicants. The most high-profile battle of the bands in Scotland, it decides which hopefuls join the invited line-up of hot properties to make up the bill of (arguably) the festivals most consistently exciting stage. But if the weather tips the balance between a jolly piss-up and a weekend crash-course in mud and pneumonia, tonight suggests the quality of unsigned representation rests on a similar knife-edge. With 6 bands allotted 20 minutes in which to prove their worth, no sooner were the doors opened then Q Without U were treating too small an audience to a confidently understated set. Invitingly crunchy rhythms and bouncy basslines, offset by a squealing electronic perversity, they craft an immediately listenable yet bewitching sound. T would be foolish to snub them, yet the cynic in me suggests V-2 Schneiders clean-cut presentation of guitars and keyboards would prove a safer bet. Thoroughly polished and voicing plenty of emotion, theyre tuneful enough but their reliance on The Big Book Of Lyrical Clichs keeps them entrenched in bland territory. Dance Lazarus Dance didnt really come across as having much more to say (especially in terms of between-song banter), but a bit of overzealous excitement, bounding about and throwing (surely) unnatural enthusiasm into a performance to this extent can go a long way to making up the difference. In an abrupt change of pace and recession of hairlines, The Blimp produced a passionate, rollicking set of no-nonsense rock n roll perfect for a spot of summer afternoon binge drinking. But stuck in this line-up they couldnt seem more dated and out of touch with the dwindling audience. This Is Geneva brought the evening unfortunately up to date with their solid though entirely uninspiring emo sound. Its difficult to place this lot in a supposed showcase of Scottish music when they so blatantly aspire to the wasteful output of the American mainstream alternative. Thankfully the night finished on the proverbial high note with the thunderously quirky noise of Project:Venhell. An explosion of ideas formed around bouts of screaming, beer-swigging and guitar-thrashing, produced the most incendiary and engaging material of the night and argued a solid case for the band being allowed a second chance to play the festival. If tonights acts are an indicator of the options open to Mr. Ellis and friends, then there are some easy and some not-so-easy decisions to be made. Choose well and this years T Break tent may again prove itself worthwhile for many more reasons than shelter from the elements. - Steven Turkington
  16. If all goes well we should have a couple of beauties coming up. Fingers crossed Photos from the night at Electropapknit
  17. Also if anyone has any photos of the gig I would love to get hold of them. Cheers
  18. Thanks to everyone who came along. It was an absolute belter.. All the bands we're on top form. Bilge Pump in particular blew me away. Just managed to cover our costs so expect some more gigs coming up soon. Cheers Gavpapknit www.myspace.com/electropapknit
  19. Oh yeah. This is tonight kids. I believe this is the first time both Bilge Pump and Ack Ack Ack have came to Aberdeen, lets not make it the last. Come down and party your asses off. Sweet
  20. aye that one was a bit wonkie. it seems to want to put it there even though its not. shite google maps. its pretty close though. oh and I will try to get some unwound on the cds somewhere.
  21. For anyone who doesnt know how to get to this place im gonna attempt some directions. Go to the central library and turn left heading AWAY from RGU. Look for a pub called the Noose and Monkey. Theres a wee door just a little further along with a big window. Bobs your uncle, your there. Easy as pie. See you there my little beauties Alternativelly click here
