Uncle Fritz

The inside scoop on avast!

I'm going to take that apology back. Just spoke to Nico there and he has assured me that they are continuing as Avast! Yipee!

yo fritz, the last few times I have spoken with em; nico and donald have said that they will never play again as Avast!

to me that means they have split up

Really? Oh well, sorry for the false info peeps!

Dear Pilgrim,

After 5 memorable years we have decided to bring Alamos to an end. The reasons are varied but thankfully they have been realised in an amicable light.

Our last show will take place at Dundee University's Student Union on Wednesday, 22nd of Oct. The show is free and we have been given an unlimited guestlist for those of you who do not hold student cards. If you'd like to come and say goodbye then let us know by either contacting us on Myspace or through our email address: band@alamos.co.uk As a special farewell gesture we'll be giving away a number of copies of 'Captain Indifferent...' for free, along with any other goodies our tired and battered merch box may contain!

Although the 22nd will mark our final live apperance it won't be the last of our collaborative output. Our good friend, Ash Branston has taken it upon himself to create a documentary of sorts focusing on Alamos. Given the mountain-loads of footage we have accumilated over the years and the amount of time it takes to edit it all, a release date is not known at this time. However, keep checking back on Myspace and/or the website for further updates.

We would sincerely like thank everyone who has contributed to our cause over the years. Although short, Alamos has had an incredibly enjoyable and privilaged life and we hope that those of you who enjoyed our music will continue to do so in our absence.

All the best,

Kris, Mark and Fritz x

I know the guys in the band and they haven't split up. As far as I know there were doubts a while back but they're still going to continue.

Hello.

This is my new(ish) solo venture. I have a couple of tunes up just now but should have more done soon. Have an ear gander:

MySpace.com - Concept Car - UK - Pop / Rock / Electro - www.myspace.com/conceptcarband

it's also first gig in about 3 months for us

Risky!

Looking forward to it though. We'll have copies of 'Captain Indifferent Says, 'Whatever'' with us and they are going for a cool 10. It comes in a rather snazzy clam shell box. Check out our myspace page for visual representation.

Hello.

Thews = Dundonian stunt rock. We have a few very rough demos up on our myspace page so have a listen if you get a chance. News on our 1st gig coming soon.

MySpace.com - Thews - Dundee, Scotland - Rock / Rock / Rock - www.myspace.com/thethews

Cheers!

Probably worth mentioning that we're hoping to come up to Aberdeen pretty soon. Will post up details when we've sorted something.

Hello.

Our second album, Captain Indifferent Says 'Whatever' is available to order now from our Myspace page. Follow the link for more details:

MySpace.com - Alamos - Rock / Punk - www.myspace.com/alamos

It'll be officially released on Fri 30th May, when we'll be playing a special launch show with the excellent Bullet Hell and Popolo at Fat Sams, Dundee.

Thanks

Many apologies to anyone who wanted to see us tonight. We're pretty gutted but the road was completely fucked. We'll hopefully be up soon!

Thankyou to all who came down! Hope fun was had

are we talking about the same 'locust'? in the style of berzerker?

is this a heavy night? never heard any of the bands invlolved

Shutter are pretty meaty but also pack quite a melodic punch , in a Deftones meets Mogwai style. Alamos do angular, sharp, Fugazi-esk tunes. There are links for both in the first post if you care to have an audio gander.

shutter are known to make a bit of noise

looking forward to the gig Fritz. should be a hoot!

Indeed! The Tunnels is a cool venue too!

Good, good. The more the merrier!

Don't all rush at once!

Hi.

Alamos http://www.myspace.com/alamos

Shutter http://www.myspace.com/shutterscotland

and others will be playing too as far as I'm aware. Appearing at The Tunnels, Aberdeen on Friday 14th Sept. Hope some of you can make it along!

Cheers dude.

Laeto are not splitting up. Agreeably they won't be playing many gigs due to the fact that Fraser now lives in Brighton and Robbie in Bristol but they are currently putting the finishing touches to album No. 3, which incidentally sounds incredible! Rumour has it they'll be playing a couple more gigs before the end of the year too!!!

A shameless bump but a bump never the less.

Thank you!

We're also hoping to be up in Aberdeen again sometime in September. Will post something up when confirmed.

Hello.

We've put up one of the tunes we recorded with Steve Albini in Chicago earlier this year on our Myspace page. It's called 'Zvezda Is Russian For Star' and is taken from our forth coming 2nd album, 'Captain Indifferent Says, Whatever'. We would certainly appreciate it if you could check it out when you have a chance and look out for info on the album's release and more songs. Thanks,

Fritz / Alamos

No idea but I'd imagine you could pay on the door too. This is tonight, wooo.

Bumpness.

Hello.

We (Alamos) are supporting Hell Is For Heroes and Brigade in Moshulu on Monday the 12th Feb.

We will be giving away copies of our new single, 'Silly Icarus, But You Can't Really Blame Him For Trying' FOR FREE so get down early to catch us if you would like a copy.

Hope to see some of you there!

Fritz/Alamos

Come on down and listen to our noise as you munch on your lunch.
