Thee Alex

Even though I didn't live in Aberdeen when I was in Scotland and even though I only ever played Drakes once I have to chip in and agree that it is a real shame that it is closing.

It is more than a year since I played there with Tarzan Stripes on a freezing January night to about 4 people but I still remember it as one of my favourite gigs of 2004.

Good luck with whatever the Drakes people decide to do next.

Thee Moths

Got it! It is the COOLEST keyboard in the WORLD!!!

Won an SK1 on Ebay!!

Brian, did you get that CD I left behind the bar for you?

Sharon - you KNOW you want the boy/girl electro-pop of Lipsick! to rock the house!!

Hi,

my other band, Lipsick! is looking to play in Aberdeen soon and I had such a great time when i (Thee Moths) was up with The Tarzan Stripes in January I thought I would ask if Drakes would put us on.

We are electro pop and Fun with a capital U.

Please email me if you can put us on!

I only need it to record a short sample - it will be mainly used live with Lipsick! while the serious sampling will be handled at home by a Casio FZ1 that I have coming my way.

I have a VL1 on its way to me.

Looks like I am going to lose the SK1 (going outwith my budget) - if anyone has a keyboard that can sample a couple of seconds so I can pitchshift vocals and is willing to sell it please drop me a line!!

Am already bidding on that one!

Someone else has told me they have an FZ1 they are willing to sell - could be spectacular!!

I am buying keyboards cos I am playing them with my 'other' band Lipsick www.lipsick.co.uk

Hi, if anyone has a Casio SK series sampling keyboard they are willing to sell me could they please drop me an email? I am willing to pay up to 20.

Thanks to the few people who came along! I had a great time and would love to come back. Special thanks to Neil Hookers Green for putting Tom and I up, Sharon for putting the gig on and being so friendly, the soundguy for being so sound and Mr Future Galloway for wearing a crazy eyehat and singing his lovely songs.

What? The CD of The Need? I don't have any copies at all of that but I can burn a CDR of the record to put in the sleeve (if that is what you are talking about)

I am going to have copies of my books with me for sure - I made some more today.

Brian, you will just have to put me on sometime!

Looks like I will be able to bring some vinyl as well. Going to make some CDR's of stuff too, maybe put a couple of live recordings on one and I might make a limited edition compilation of various singles and comp appearances for the evening.

Might have some copies of my second minibook with me as well.

I haven't seen those reviews, any chance of getting a copy?

Emailed the label so I might have some vinyl

I don't think the label will have sent any up in time for the show so I am thinking of making some mp3 disks with as much of thee moths as I can fit on (which will be pretty much everything!) - they'll be for sale for a quid or so I guess.

Will try and get some vinyl off the label though!

I kind of do that with my posters though, I like the idea of people having to work a little to figure out what the show is. Someone said to me recently that if he has no idea what the show is from the poster he is more likely to go!

There are more of my posters up here > http://www.gigposters.com/designers.php?designer=11753

Hi, I am playing at Dr Drakes on the 14th of January, it would be nice if some people came along.

There are reviews and mp3's at Thee Moths site.

If anyone is feeling kind I could maybe do with a sofa to crash on after the show.....

Here is the poster I made for it.
