Surely it should be glamour and tits?

Oh' date=' and how about some of the right-on, PC bands demanding to have their names taken off the poster and boycotting the event if it's so offensive? [/quote']

better still, a poster with all the band names dissappearing up an ass

yo

the fudge awards are all about the glamour and glitz. and that picture literally came from a 'glamour' site: what could be more perfect?

no point in debating the definitions of Glitz or Glamour, its always relative to a persons own perception....just like one mans Glamour is another mans Porn and the same backwards etc

great pic tho so its only the context Im questioning (given the only asses on display will belong to drunken hairy men), and look, you've already got Biz wanting to turn the event into a Hooters Bar! (not that I would know anything about them - ahem)

Haha funny how someone picked up on the main offender :D

Its maybe just me but I find it a bit uneasy having a bare ass on screen at work....o_O

I actually find the emo looking ones crapper than a the Nuts magazine ones....you know the ones of a mysterious girl looking melancholy under dim street lighting and its probably raining (shes actually just missed the last bus to Kincorth) used to advertise a band of hairy blokes (the band usually has a fake posh girls name too like Sabeine or something equally shite) and often wear hats (but never one at a time, it must be hats en mass)

Yo

or are people who are offended by nudity offensive?

You can show a guys nipples but not a chicks.

How much or little flesh needs to be covered before it is acceptable?

sure its a very nice picture but hardly representative of the actual event, which is likely be the opposite of what the poster is implying

plus theres also something unfunnily ironic about putting a super hot female on a poster when in reality you turn up to see a wee room full smelly blokes wanking on guitars and growling to each other tunelessly about ''girrrrrrls''. A bit of sad concept in a way and surely its in contravention some kind of trade description law?

if not iit probaly should be

On the other hand if Holly Vallance were on stage as opposed to beardy muso cretins Id be quite happy with this form of advertising.

Yo

Sex sells.

but only morons buy it

Ill be somewhere else playing avoiding the crush for the bar while S&D are on. A wee bit over rated imo. Apart from one good song. Cant wait to see the Moz again tho.

Whats up with this? I notice the last four fliers or so have had female models on the gig fliers.....while this shit sells a load of copies Nuts' date=' FHM and other such fucking trash for the brain dead lager lads, why do these gig fliers need to stoop so low? Is this the new way of getting folk interested in coming to live gigs? What next? Strippers introducing the bands? (Don't anyone go getting any ideas!!!!! :D:D)[/quote']

agree, it does make retarded mens magazines spring to mind

creative genius obviously ?(

its usually to advertise bands consisting of 4 or more very hairy men which is also a touch odd imo

The 3 track videos CDR is quite good' date=' if a little short. And by short I mean 5 minutes for 3 songs![/quote']

but it was free though!

next issue of our free cd with have a few more more tracks

I bought mine from a highstreet retailer for over a tenner and dont give a fuck .

Good album on first play and lives up to the hype imo. Lyrically its spot on.

Will probably buy the vinyl version later in the week. Ill be shopping around to find the most expensive one obviously.

you were certainly quieter than motorhead and a few other bands i've seen but it was very loud. the guitar was too loud in my opinion - if you had those settings then' date=' yes, it must have cranked up over the PA.

synths were definately too quiet - i think you lost something a bit by having them too low & the guitar too loud, things came across too "metal".

wouldn't mind hearing the CD sometime though.[/quote']

I forgot to ask them to treat the synth level like a lead instrument to be honest, but as we'd played there a few times with the synths as loud as the vocals I kinda thought they might have sussed that out

please never ever say the M word

You are the second person who has said that recently!

i was a huge of Gibby and Le Surfers du Butthole back in the day, saw em twice in tiny venues down south. Terrifying. A positive advert for LSD tho!

bnbc = shit hot

videos = tight and good at what they do' date=' not really a fan of the guitar sound/playing faarrrrr too loud

[/quote']

the guitar was the quietest thing on the stage and my amp was set at a megre 2.5 (out of a possible 10) and is only rated at puny 45 watts so not sure if i can get it any less loud, its more likely the soundgirl cranked it up via the PA, maybe she digs the sound of it

but we were told the synths were not loud enough (or as loud as usual) by our contingent

a London soundman who does the sound for thousands of bands told me we were the third loudest band he had heard in his life (Motorhead was first. Gay Bikers on Acid were second)

loud is nice

I blame the drummer (big arms)

yo

edit:corrected retarded spelling (most of it)

PVH = Butthole Surfers!

''Hairway to Stephen'' era.

Yo!

what' date=' like slagging off other bands on the internet? [/quote']

i think she just got a bit cross after we busted our asses to make a time, only to find we were 2 hours too early

it happens

and when the cause is purely the ''we wont adjust the mic stands we want a roadie to do it'' attitude it does get up peoples noses, c'mon?

bit harsh miss

Datapanic are quite nice really

its called being a rockstar (even if your not)...theres worse things in the world, Nuclear War, Jackie Bird, Bleached Mullets, Dogshit etc

I wont have a good word said about the baw bag sinatras however, they are a disgrace.

Ps got my nails done last night so I wont need to nip out to the salon during soundcheck

You know those will be strictly adhered to don't you?!

No

Starting with the soundchecks I bet

Last time we turned up ''on time'' for soundchecks to support Data Panic (their soundcheck lasted a marvellous 1 hour 45 minutes) we still had time to go back home for forgottten things, go for a meal, go clothes shopping, get petrol and go for drinks in Lo Down. Someone even went for haircut I think.

Im bringing a Gameboy this time, mind you its Thursday, late night shopping Wheeee!

Shiny disk will not go to waste either ways' date=' kids dig shiny disks and so do you.

Dance.[/quote']

Ill take a few and give em out anyway. No charge. They cost nothing to make. I said this a few gigs ago and then left them at home. There was a riot.*

*Made up in my head

nah fundamental arn't playing

hope u are playing' date=' i believe some Domino label staff maybe present

to see their new signed heros!!!!!!!!!!![/quote']

sorry I was attempting satire again

we are playing for sure, although its certain any label types they will be in pizza hut for the scummy support bands

we will also have a new band name (we change it at least once a year) by thursday too which will be projected onto the back wall if I can get me VCR working....will that screen be up or do we need to bring a king size nylon sheet?

i assume we are first on and we will therefor play our best songs first so as many people as possible miss them *more failed satire*

oh how we laughed

from the aberdeen independent

headline "FUNDAMENTALIST band on stage at THE LEMON TREE"

"A band which has been described as being the most exciting & primal

group that you are ever likely to hear will be in the granite city this month.

The Beautiful New Born Children....................

1. wrong venue

2. if we wanted to put on a Fundamentalist band then 1st choice

would be FUNDAMENTAL' date=' but they would make even the folks that

go regularly to Arkade events shit themselves[/quote']

fuck the gig Im gonna see Fundamental at the Melon Tree! Whoop!

The exhibition centre was bailed out to the tune of 26million in 2005 exactly a week after telling council employees they were having their wages axed by a huge ammount....

I would bulldose the place if it were up to me.

Bulldozer / Petrol Bombs

Either!

1x12? 2x12? reverb' date=' tremelo? how many inputs?

If its an IC100 I'm interested.[/quote']

pretty sure its an IC100

2X12 no reverb or trem 2 channel 2 inputs (i think)

fat warm retro sound, if slightly lofi by horrible modern amp standards

still interested? its still in England but I can pick it up at the end of January

The Swell Maps. The best post punk/experimental band this world has ever seen. Check out their debut album A Trip To Marineville if you can find it - it's genius.

Midget Submarines!!!

That album defines genius really. Nothing of its kind has ever bettered it.

I got an xmas card from the guy who produced it! *feels smug*

Stereo Total

Easily the most fantastic band of the last 10 years and yet you can hardly buy any of their stuff in the uk. Shocking.

Via the strokes!!!

nah, heard em on LMac last night and they sounded like The Mekons/Fall (Rough Trade Years)/MC5.... but much faster, which is obviously much more preferable than The Strokes. Safe as Fuck etc
