It's not me!

There is a Caribou track on free download this week on itunes.

Maxi 22/23? I don't believe it for a second! Best of luck on your quest.

Now that was a gig! Just got back to the hostel (Caledonian Backpackers- Red Man Walking & Eric Euan Friday June 24th) and am wasted. Have to say for starters the support band, what the fuck, they sucked ass, didn't catch their name but they should be playing the Malty or Halty not supporting the Explosion. Bland, bland, bland is all I can say about them. The Explosion rocked! I haven't listened to them in ages, just happened to be in Edinburgh for the night and popped along, but my god it was well worth every penny. First time seeing the band live, but hopefully not the last. I strongly suggest if you get the chance to go and see them live!

Anyone going the gig in Liquid rooms tonight?

Very friendly place to go, good music, good beer, good times. Come on a Sunday and sing you're heart out on the Karaoke, or get up and have a jam, you may get to meet the General.

Ibis hotel was cheapish and central.

I'm a see you next tuesday apparently!

Through advertising on this website I found my band Red Man Walking. Since the band formed in 2002, we have toured the UK, played a short American tour, released a cd through local label Fat Hippy Records and played a number of successful local gigs, all of which have been promoted/advertised on aberdeen-music.com If I hadn't posted on this site, I never would have joined the band and had all the great experiences I have had the past 3 years. I continue to use the website on a daily basis to promote my band, my management/promotion company Dead Anyway and all the other artists I represent and talk with like minded people. The website is a vital tool for unsigned local bands, for people with an interest in music of all styles and for people to get their views across on any topic (Wasteland). Thanks again to the team for all their hard work. Greig Dead Anyway Management www.deadanyway.com

El Presidente: plus support Girl Said No & Eric Euan Sunday 17 April 2005 - Caf Tickets 6 (4 concessions & regulars) Doors Open: 8pm Show Starts: 8.30pm "El Presidente is composed of some very unusual characters - imagine the Royal Tenenbaums as a rock'n'roll band, only we have great songs and some sort of sartorial sensibilities!" Whilst the enigmatic figure that is El Presidente is the epitome of perpetual movement, constantly endeavouring to avoid the glare of publicity and the sinister intentions of his opponents and enemies, he does, on occasion, decide to grace us, his followers, with some carefully chosen words of wisdom: "In The Republic, resources were very limited. I was restricted to what was available. The songs always evolved from an awesome drum loop or a dirty bass groove. From there, the musical cauldron started to bubble...." This is El Presidente revealing how the foundations for his musical career were laid. He found that he was constantly buzzing with fresh and original ideas, unsure of how to channel them creatively whilst struggling with the political complexities of running His Republic. "I grew up with black market copies of Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys, T Rex and Sly Stone. This music was banned in our house. So I locked myself away with my brother in an underground resistance shelter and listened to these records, while trying to find our own musical direction. Before long, my brother and I found we had written a bunch of fantastic songs in a really short space of time. The oppressive climate we had been forced to work under had seemed to fuel our creativity and we were really pleased with what we had produced. Following El Presidente's protracted revolution, the songs he had written found an outlet, a medium to bring the music to his loyal populace. A local DJ picked up the songs in The Republic who pumped them out on his state sanctioned frequency. The proles were enthralled. "It's crucial to me that El Presidente are a great live band. I thrive on the energy and emotion required for a really good performance. Having done only two gigs though, we are obviously still finding our feet both as comrades and as performers. However, the start we've made is encouraging, and the signs for the future evolution of El Presidente are good." "We are all excited by what we are achieving in the studio, but we want to make it even more exciting on stage, that's what we will be striving for in the coming weeks and months. As well as the sounds we create, this collective is about creating an aesthetic ethos on which to build our Movement."
