Wax - "The Residential Suite" @ Kef, Belmont Street, Aberdeen.

I'm organising a guide on local clubs, promoters and alternative/specialist retail outlets to be ready in time for Freshers Week. I assume that Liquid intends to "purchase" this years intake of freshers again, so this guide aims to showcase the likes of Kef, Snafu, Tunnels, my own WAX night, Elementz, etc. (of course these names are just examples, everyone has to put forward their share of costs before they get in the guide). The magazine will be free and will be along the lines of Element Magazine and, if anyone remembers, The Guide from a few years ago. It will be unbiased and any one club will not be able to purchase more than a double/quadruple page spread (depending on interest and size of guide). Though of course, Liquid aren't invited! So promoters and clubs, this is a good chance to hijack the (probably already purchased) Freshers marketing campaign. Send serious notes of interest to waxhiphop@gmail.com or PM me.

Our host for the evening, Mayhem did perform a couple of his own songs, and as for collaborating with Q-Bert...how many MC's in the UK can say they had Q-Bert as their backing DJ! Q heard Mayhem rapping at the soundcheck and asked if he'd like to do something before the end of the night...Mayhem said he'd have to think about it. Good to hear everyone had a good night, nights like these (i.e. Public Enemy, DJ Q-Bert, etc.) don't come to Aberdeen enough. I'm sorry to say we lost out on KRS-One this year too...too much money and a HUGE entourage! Anyway, roll on the 20th...

For info, see original post. Roots Manuva ticket holders will be entitled to gain entry to Kef for a reduced rate of 4. Ticket stubs will be required as proof, and will also be retained at the door.

You should, Q-Bert has never come North of Edinburgh before. T'will be a very good night. Kurt Masta Kurt is not appearing, although we have a very able support line-up.

Apologies, this is a blatant attempt to get my thread back on the main page!

When PIVO had DJ Format to mark the end of Freshers Week last year, we had to close the doors early. Should be another sell-out, not to mention a fucking great night.

Great for finding out about even the most poorly-promoted gigs. From a club promoter's point of view, opens up venues like Kef and Snafu to a varied audience. I think the vast majority who use the forum realise that individual opinions are just that, and do not reflect the opinion of the admin. SEE YOU AT Q-BERT!!! Gomes

Cheers Chris.

Anyone??

Prime Cuts of the mighty Scratch Perverts confirmed for June.
