Theres nothing better than a bit of banter, it keeps competition healthy and makes band work hardeer, the scene wouldnt be alive without it!

Verbal ping pong is the best thing that can ever happen to AUBL coz it would be shite without it, cummon, all of you guys have at least bitched once on this boards, its part of being human.

I have no rifts with johnny or ben or cammie or whoever coz there has been no reason too, who do you think has a good dose of the verbal dihorrea?

adam

hey man' date='

you sound like the kinda guy we need, this is [i']our story, me (jamesey) on vocals, and my two flatmates - fergie (bass) and Innes on guitar, we all live on bridge st in aberdeen (just beside liquid) and weve been jamming for about 3 months now, while we have certain degree of skill, we lack a drummer and so inevitably motivation as practisies are really limited. to just bass, lyrics and guitars (sometimes i play guitar on our own stuff and some nirvana covers but nothing drastic - im actaully a bassist, but would rather sing). ive written about 2/3 albums worth of material-ish and would like to work with a drummer on all the tracks. covers or our own tracks, its all good.

we really want hit the pub circuits like drakes and cafe drummonds but at the moment really want concentate on gelling as a band. our influences are mainly classic rock like hendrix, zepplin, lynard skynard, sabbath, but our combined favourite band is the chilipeppers, and we play a fair number of thier songs. we are all fairly experienced musicians at least 3/4 years playing, just not much seriuos band expereince, we are (or were) students aged about 20. chilled out guys who are just trying to find that ever elusive ticket to the bigtime, look forward to hearing from you mate,

jamesey

i sent you a pm man, just get in contact with me when you want to jam

cheers

adam

I don't think they have any tours over here planned. But I'm hoping they might when the new albums out!

cheers man, do you know when they are putting it out?

sigur ros

gtis Byrjun is possibly one of the best albums ever created! It is the best rage of experimental songs you can have and not even ( ) can match that (yep, even if it does contain such a great song as "njosnavelin" - the end track of vanilla sky). The actual song "gtis Byrjun" is a truly beautiful song, "Svefn - G - Englar" comes a close second!

I have to thank Sigur - Ros and their album gtis Byrjun for getting me through my exam revision, some say their stuff is depressing (like my dad for e.g.) but i think its the most truly glorious, uplifting and hair raising music you can ever listen too. Nobody can beat the Ros!

anybody know if they are coming on a tour here any time soon?

Cheers

Adam

Has anyone got their first record Von? I've tried for ages but i can't find it anywhere...

yeah man ive got it, the only way i was able to get it was online through soulseek

its a lot different from their newer albums Agaetis Brjuin and ( ) because Von sounds like one of them relaxation cd's you buy from "The natural world" in the bon accord centre. Very chilled out experimental stuff

glad to hear you crazy boys got back together again! you did mumble something about it on friday' date=' but y'know...i was...inebriated! so sorry if i wasn't more excited at the time![/quote']

i actually said it loud and clear, it was just coz of the loud music and you had otgher maters in your hands

but yeah its understandable

covers

i absolutely adore BECK's version of "Everybody's gotta learn sometime" from the eternal sunshine soundtrack, anyone mutual?

Would that have been the lockup? They have a timetable sytem. But I know that it's a hell of a lot more than 4 a month.

i think we were actually askin 40 a month

???

hmmm thats quite a hard one!

id say i get the best vibe with playing our new song (yet to be played live) "Transhuman Condition For You", fucked up song name and absolutely experimental drummin/guitar.

I like it soo much coz its got me playin a sort of drummin i like to do, its extremely experimental and quite different from our usual stuff.

but then i also love our songs "Suicide blues" and "In God We Must" coz they are so hard hitting, thumping and in yer face frenzy. i like....

adam

is anyone going to moorings for that major jam session tonight?

Id like to come along and play the drums but need to know if people are coming and what you wanna play

adam

Your band sound interesting' date=' I look forward to hearing you play live![/quote']

cheers man, let you all know in the near future, probably make a whole post about it

adam

The Diuretics split up???

yeah man we did split up for a while, long story

but we are now back together and currently lookin for a new practice room

maybe be able to play with you guys soon

cheers

adam

ive yet to see you guys play. I was told the Diueretics were crap but I have also been told they you lot are very good.

Yeah we generally get that reaction from people, you either love us or you hate us!

ill let you know about our next gig so you can make a decision for your self, its like a mixture of icarus line/ jesus lizard and king crimson.

cheers for the interest

adam

diuretics are back together and will be recording again later this summer

woopdefuckinwelldoo!

I could have sworn I heard of someone renting out a rehersal space for like 4 a month and the only planning required is timetabling with other bands.

May have been a dream though...

that was our band, untill we got chucked out coz a neighbour was threatening legal action

so thats why we are looking for a basement somewhere

does anyone know of any cheap practice places or rooms for my band to prctice?

maybe we can rent a room in a basement somewhere?

adam

hmm' date=' well it looks like the guitarist is plannin on leavin cause he replied to the lady mercedes thread. interesting.[/quote']

yeah thats i guy i know called arun

i heard that he wasnt necessarily leavin dr flaw, he was just looking for another band to play with too

just what i heard on the grapevine anyway

does anyone know what his name is so i can pm him?

adam

Hey People

As some of you may know, the diuretics have now split up and are not currently thinking about getting back together in the near future.

If anyone at all needs a drummer to have a jam or to try me out for playin with your band then this is the place to look!

Im going to be in a few bands but as i am now moving to aberdeen i will be able to spend much more time on music, which is what i want to do.

My drumming influences include The Captain (The Icarus Line), Paul Quattrone (Modey lemon), dave grohl, jimmy chamberlin(smashing pumpkins,zwan), cyrus bolooki (New found glory), taylor hawkins (foofighters), ravi Tajingham or something (my vitriol), Jose Pascillas (Incubus).

My drumming influences may be these but im basically into all types of music

I can play for a rock band, ballad rock, indie, basically anything but im not a good jazz drummer. I can also do punk depending on your influences. So maybe its handy to have a drummer who is into a lot of stuff. Im not a big fan of playing metal either though!

cheers to anyone wo takes interest, just reply to this post or pm me, cheers

adam

Go to wanted and for sale and then musicians. Forum specifcally for this sort of stuff. Lots of people looking for drummers usually so be something new to have one offering their services I think. It says your in Aurora is that with James Lennox? Hows that band coming a long?

cheers man, ill do that

about aurora, i honestly have no idea! We did have that great foyer gig but otherwise we really havent been in contact, hes on holiday in australia at the moment i think.

Im not sure were gonna be doin anything in the near future, unless he manages to get something organised

and hows WTW?

adam

Maybe if you put it in the correct forum...

any idea of a good forum?

Glad to see much interest
