  3. Your Musical History

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Great thread!

    The Foggies/The Flavour Outside Approx 1995-1997

    First band with 3 mates from school, played a few shows around Aberdeen but mainly the Pelican Club and The Malt Mill. I would say we sounded like The Bluetones at times and then Faith No More. Songs included Cotton Bud Cloud (Influence by Monkey) and Sausage on New York (Faith No More influenced).

    Halcion Daze Approx 1999-2001

    We started off as an indie band with a funk edge but turned into a 9 piece Jazz/Funk influence monster. Horns, Bongo's, Keys you name it. Played all round Aberdeen but got regular slots in Cafe Rouge and Drakes. First gig was in The Wodka Bar. Recorded a demo down in Glasgow which included the tracks Superbad, Period of Adjustment. Favourite tracks for me were Harry McCari and Everybody Hates you so why do you love yourself so much. Band broke up during a show upstairs in Triple Kirks. Supermal is on my old myspace page Dead Anyway on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

    Red Man Walking 2002-2005

    Loved playing with RMW. Bit of a funk/stoner rock influenced band. Recorded our first E.P. Four Tales for John which was released by Fat Hippy. We then did a short U.S. tour and toured around Scotland here and there. We had a couple of tracks featured on a Canadian compilation CD and got quite a lot of airplay over in Canada/U.S. Our second E.P. Alternate Endings was released by our own label Dead Anyway. Just listened to the E.P.'s recently and think we had some really good ideas on there. I think our last show was in the Tunnels. Still jam with a couple of the guys in new projects. Consistency of Darkness from our second E.P. is on Dead Anyway on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

    Hidden Leaves 2007 - Present

    Hidden Leaves I would say are an alt rock band. Started off as a 5 piece but now down to 4 piece. Recorded a few tracks at Exile studios, which you can listen to on our myspace Hidden Leaves on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

    Hoping to release an E.P, at some point in the next 6-12 months. Next show 1st October at The Forum.

    Darth Elvis and The Tattoine Trio 2007 - Present

    Created to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars and Elvis' death in 2007, Darth Elvis is my Star Wars themed Elvis impersonator act made up with members of Red Man Walking and Eric Euan. We have only played a handful of shows but did play at the first official Star Wars Convention in London in 2007 at the Excel Centre after winning a online campaign to perform there. We are starting rehearsals again this weekend and have new members coming onboard so name will be changing. Should be gigging by end of the year with new songs.

  10. Mega Scary Film?

    in Movies & TV

    Posted

    Have to agree with everyone on The Orphanage, REC and the Japanese Ring quality horror movies!

    I'm a total sucker for a good horror movie, even a bad horror movie here and there.

    Some other good horrors worth checking out are Frontiers, Hatchet (Newish film made like an old school slasher) and for something a little different Behind the Mask - The Rise of Leslie Vernon.

    Martyrs is on my wish list.
