  6. Tangaroa + White Boys For Gay Jesus + Ablach

    Tangaroa

    Taking their name from a Polynesian sea-god, Tangaroa are a truly unique hybrid of experimental extreme metal and progressive grind. An abhorrent amalgamation of virtuoso technical abilities and incendiary metal riffs that combine a wealth of styles from black metal, grindcore, hardcore and jazz, and push back the boundaries and concepts of song structures, offering a defiant middle finger response to the current wave of tech-metal pretenders to the throne. Formed 1998 in Leeds.

    "The off-kilter nature and downright maliciousness of the weird rhythms make Day as enticing as it is confusing... a warped musical head-fuck that's certainly metal but quite unlike any you've heard before" - 4/5 Kerrang!

    White Boys For Gay Jesus

    Terrifying prog metal jazzers, intent on feeding Mr Bungle into a hardcore mangle, or somesuch vague comparison. With ambient soundscape bits too. Go on, click the link and have a listen.

    Local support from noisers Ablach.

  10. Life Among People + PinPim + Bloodnut @ Snafu

    LIFE AMONG PEOPLE mix weighty musical intelligence with social awareness. Armed with a broad palette they defy pigeonholing while wielding an undeniable power high on energy and packed with promise.

    The band have already received fantastic reviews from their previous EPs in the rock mags and online, with most reviewers practically begging for an album which will see release in early 2009.

    KERRANG! - KKKK (4/5) -..placed somewhere between Biffy Clyro and Deftones, these impressively ambitious, articulate underdogs certainly deserve to enjoy wider recognition

    METAL HAMMER - one of the brightest new hopes in the UK

    Expect mind blowing, punchy, atmospheric punk rock crossed post-hardcore - reminiscent of early Thrice or Biffy Clyro" (Big Cheese Magazine 4/5 LIVE section) and thats what youll get.

    PINPIM are a tripod of tight dirty grooves and melodic power, and never fail to deliver an immense mix of melody, sleazy hooks and tight heavy grooves in every show. PINPIMs refreshing and distinctive style and sound sets them apart from the current spray-on jeans, image obsessed scene and has earned them a loyal fanbase and some high profile support slots throughout the UK.

    BBC RAW TALENT - 'one of the tightest 3 piece bands in the UK, a very hard act to follow'

    FATCAT MUSIC - 'Effortlessly tight, every track is a stormer'

    Celebrating the rise of independent label GRUBBYNUN RECORDS, the bands take to the UK paving the way for their future releases in 2009. And with the all dates sponsored by Jgermiester, this tour will certainly be one you wont forget in a hurry..

    Also on the bill are the mighty BLOODNUT - no introduction needed...

    Monday 13th October @ The Black Tooth

    Snafu, 1 Union Street, Aberdeen

    Doors open 9pm, first band onstage at 9.30pm...

    Man, I'm feeling heavy love in the room right now! Thanks for the kind words and support guys. It's only through working with like-minded individuals like the Moorings, IMP and Vocoustics (as well as many others) that we have managed to achieve what we have so far!

    Let's rename this thread "The Ab-Music Mutual Appreciation Thread".

Very recently, she placed overall second in Theme Magazine's 2008 UK Bartender of the Year award.
