Comptroller

Fudge, I bought the fanzine. I had to, my band is featured. Anyway. Well done. That CD sure is fast.

What is this? The Brutes invested 5 each in the Switchblades stage, and now you say it will be dissolved? Which council will pay for your lies? Not ours, it funded your truth. At least we know that King Liar will introduce 28 of the 30 songs that the Brutes plan on playing that night. I don't care even if you have read better words, you will never have heard them sung. We play all the songs.

Bad sound quality = lo-fi. At least in their case.

'Tarzan' by Rocket From the Crypt, from the 'When In Rome' single. Good enough to qualify as a single in itself, but then RFTC have songs like that coming out of their ears.

Thankyou, I may do that. I'll need to return the next day ASAP though.

Hey, where's John Quick? False Arbiter. 10EWs get my stamp of approval. Get some Clash, shitheads.

Listen, Guitar Wolf, officially the World's Greatest Jet Rock'n'Roll Band, are playing the London Garage tomorrow night (Tuesday 25/5). I have a ticket but no way to get there. I will hitch, hire, harass and murder to get there. Will anybody acommodate me? Any time, any place. Within tomorrow. ROCK AND ROLL!!!! No shit, I will pay.

You can't beat our quiffs. Guitar wolf trained us and they don't even like anything. Except rock n roll, and they think zombies are funny. Bear in mind that zombies are real people who are now dead and want to eat other humans, so they are not actually funny BUT Guitar Wolf think they are. They just don't give a shit. Even if you cut a Guitar Wolf, they would just sneer and, when they felt like it (and not before) humiliate you and kill you 10x as bad as you hurt them. Nothing can ever stop them. Anyway, they cut our hair for us. How do you like that? How do you like the fact that they are playing in London tomorrow night, I have a ticket to see them, and I can't go. How the fuck do you like that? I would literally pay 100 to any man or woman to take me to London for about 8pm so that I could witness every act playing the Garage that night. None will touch Guitar Wolf. Faggot. What will it take? I can't believe it. What the fuck is this? I don't care who tells me this, this is no democracy. If it were, why can't I kill indiscriminately? Why won't you shut up? Why aren't Guitar Wolf playing Aberdeen? The Barenaked Ladies did. Anyway, the pianner in the Card Cheat is great, who played it? No way Joe did. Mikey Gallacher did. Fucking Blockheads.

Hot dog!

Words words words! Who will choose? Come to the fucking gig.

...which is keep despair from my door and a gun from my head.

Don't talk up the Youngbloods, it's exactly this kind of hype that they get off on. Their 'street team' (vandals) have already been making their mark around town, I've seen their logo spray-painted in several places. You can only expect more of this shameless self-promotion to come. They'd be less scary if it was easier to define exactly what they are and what they want. It's this mystery that inspires panic, and a powerful tool it is. Don't feed the fire.

This is almost true. On 13th May, the Youngbloods will be performing at Dr Drakes with some form of personnel support from King Liar and the Brutes. We are still trying to reach an agreement, but talks are slow-moving and fraught with danger. The Aberdeen Poster Collective are handling security, our contribution is purely musical. The bottom line is that, if the Youngbloods want to break someone's face, they fucking will. I hope they don't.

I fucking love the Needles. The tragedy is that they have so much good material that has never been released and will never be played again, like 'Story of the Needles' and 'Tell Me You Love Me'. Though word is that the next EP will contain 'Panic On Easy Street', which will make the world a better place.

'Compilation Ultra' is now available in One Up! 15 tracks of exciting music (Vomitus, KLATB, Diuretics, Broken Sunshine, Shark Smell Blood, etc) for just 5! This is a special time, take advantage of it.

Bill Ely did all they could. Student irony had nothing to do with anything you saw last night, though it may factor into things people say about what they saw. They should shut up. I am truly delighted with what was achieved last night, my sincere thanks to all bands who took part and everyone who attended. The compilation will no doubt appear in One Up shortly.

There is no replacement band. I assure you and the general public, four bands will be plenty, my stage time calculations tell me so. I hope the health of Vomitus improves and their hatred never wavers.

Forget Beast Wing for a minute, assholes. What about Bruce Gatsby? The man has devoted a lot of energy to putting this CD out, pick it up! Pick up the pace! NOW!

Listen, the Beast Wing track on there is one of the best. My current favourite 'Compilation Ultra' track is Gentle Hero by Operation MindKnife. People, you can own a CD that features both these songs and 13 others! Come to Donside, 14th April. What will it take?

Donside Records' 4th release, 'Compilation Ultra', is due for release on Wednesday 14th April! With 15 tracks of the finest new lo-fi, hi-fi, surfed-up, punked-out, shit-me-up blast funk available, this CD is literally real! 'Compilation Ultra' features some of Aberdeen's most exciting new acts (King Liar & the Brutes, Vomitus, Broken Sunshine, Diuretics) as well as out-of-towners like Shark Smell Blood & Progerian Front. Please enjoy! Available at a discounted rate at the release party (Dr Drakes, 14th April, see Gigs & Events Forum for more details) or 5 from One Up.

The 'Under the City' CD spins faster than conventional CDs as it is made out of an ultra-lite material similair to what weather balloons are made of. This is why there are only 999 copies, cause it's some expensive shit. 2 is a bargain, nerds. Play loud!

S.A.M., I had forgotten about the Australian pretentio-fool. But I could never forget Duckman, or the way you creepily edited that photo to make it look like I had my arm around him. Do you still have those photos? More should be included in this thread so that those who were not there can see for themselves, and those who were can remember more clearly. Sam + manager = unique period x

Many a great night was spent in old Drakes. Proto-Psycho a Go-Go band 'Familiar' played there many a time (as did real Psycho a Go-Go), usually with Killswitch, or so it seems. There used to be a pirate motif in Drakes, what happened to that? And the decor changed depending on the night, there'd be sheets strung across the stage for DJs to hide behind and tablecloths & candles on jazz nights. Old Drakes had more 'characters' too (that is, tramps). Duck Man was the best tramp. And it felt more like a pub, that is it opened earlier and didn't charge for entry (usually). I enjoyed Kris / Johnny knocking a table over & biting a candle in half on one of his birthdays. And I also celebrated three New Years in Drakes, one of which I made a fool of myself at. Hooray for Drakes, and its fabulous staff!

This will be a special night. Any kid who values feeling alive should attend.

I don't know much about Rimmon, and I don't know much about Rommel, but what I do know means that I will always greet them with a mixture of fear and fascination & always link the two in my head. Loud!
