Tomahawk (get Mit Gas) Fantomas (get Delerium Crodia) Mr Bungle It's sheer coincidence that Mike Patton is in all these bands.

Just finished listening to it all the way through now. It's great. The only reason it's gotten some bad reviews is people thinking "oh it's not like Fat Of The land" or something.

Komodo 3000 (I think that's the name): Good stuff. Second last song was very Happy Mondays-esque. Maybe it was even a cover, I dunno cos I only have the one Happy Mondays album and I don't listen to it much. In fact I only really bought it for Wrote For luck. Oh back to the song, sorry. It was good anyway. As were the rest of the songs. A few tasty riffs in there and some nice postuering by the singer. Dunno what the fuck he was saying inbetween songs, but a bit of banter is always a good thing. Another band added to my rapidly increasing list of decent Aberdeen bands. Bench: Last time I saw them was at a battle of the bands at 'Dus when they were a three piece. Wasn't particularly impressed by them then. They have gotten worse. The ridiculous amount of feedback throughout the gig didn't help, but I'm calling the RSPCA about those cats that were strangled onstage. 15-year-old's angsty lyrics (those that I actually heard) coupled with "I wish I was Matt Bellamy, but unfortunately for you I'm not" type wailing. Me and my mates counted maybe 3 songs in a 45(?) minute set. Whether or not it was just that they all morphed into one big noisey mess is unclear. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I was outvoted 2 to 1. Whatever it was, they were pish songs. And what was with the bow? Again, maybe this was due to the feedback, but it didn't seem to be making any fucking noise, or at least none worth making. Anyway, Jimmy Page looks cool using it for Dazed And Confused; anyone else just looks like a prat. Remember folks: just cos you're mad at your dad, it's no reason to take it out on the audience's ears. Little Kicks: This was the best Little Kicks gig I've been to yet. Shame about strings breaking on TWO guitars (the second one was nicely dealt with by Stefan Henchoz at the end), but the sound levels were spot on, which to be (un?)fair is a rarity at a Little Kicks gig! Good to actually hear what Toby was playing for once (eeet's worth it wah wah WOO wah), and the drums and bass are sounding better nowadays (dunno if that's due to the new arrivals or if I'm usually just too pissed to notice). The new songs are great, the last one inparticular being a bit of a (T). "On the whole a very good effort, seven on ten. Let's make love" (Partridge, series 2 episode 5). I'm deducting a point for the lack of Manics or Clash covers, and also so it would fit in with the Partridge quote.

The difference with a drum machine is that it doesn't say "oww" when you have to beat the drumbeat into it.

*starts queing outside kef* No that's perhaps a little over the top... I take it tickets are on sale at One Up? How much?

No probs. Go and hurry up with a full album though!

Bought the Dedalus/Politik EP today.. fuck, it's good. Politik are pretty decent, but Dedalus are absolutely superb. It's like Interpol, but better. Also got the My Mind's Weapon CD... pretty good stuff, although it's a shame they have that FFAF-esque spastic screaming backing vocals. And the lead vocals themselves are perhaps a wee bitty on the weak side. But overall I think I've been a bit hasty thinking there were no decent bands going about Aberdeen... :O I suppose if you dig amongst shit for long enough, you'll come up with a diamond eventually.

Go and name them then so I can keep a look out. Cos I seriously want to try and find a band worth crowing over, but I just cannae find any.

Hey, let's not blow this out of proportion. It's only new Found Glory

New Found Glory are quite possibly the worst band I've ever heard. hey have absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever, which is rare. If I was going to Leeds I'd be laughing my socks off. But I'm not so it doesn't really bother me. After all, it's still full of pish this year. All the best acts that aren't Morrissey are playing the minor stages this year.
