Should be good for some huffingly good freakout fun.

jeez just realised the markers are playing here, this will be seriusly

great freakout fun

of course

i will be looking forward to elbow when they play.........

just brilliant

likewise, two fantastic nights in a row, thank you

What happened to the cash that was raised?

stop your usual whinging about this & check the save the lemon tree

website

Hear, hear. They got a second chance in 2004 and obviously couldn't turn things round since so why should more tax-payers money be put into The Lemon Tree?

I still haven't seen or heard any explanation of why they need to raise 150k and exactly what this money is going to be used for by the way.

For the person who is supposedly in favour of the live music scene in Aberdeen your credibility just went down the pan through your totally ignorant post. Should you & lots of people be asking questions about the MULTI millions of tax payers money the council have ploughed into the AECC (20m+ I am led to believe)

Because of ths overlooked council folly, the council has larger than expected deficit & The Lemon Tree is obviously one of many smaller victims of this financial folly. At least The Lemon Tree covered the provision of arts & music for ALL the community.

Nice one Chilli, nice one son - looks like a great event. Wish I could be there. Hope it goes very well, raises heaps of dosh, and generates loads of petition signatures.

Does the march also need lots of noise/press to maximise impact

A much as i wanted to do something really special UPSTAIRS in the peoples beloved Lemon Tree, this event just ain't going to happen there.

With very special thanks to Jim & Hen @ The Tunnels this event will now takes place in Tunnel 1 on the same date. Entry details & full line up to follow with full announcement.

Pass the word

Mike

that's great news i'm catching up on, naturally very disappointed about The Lemon Tree but iv'e heard from friends Caribou was pretty amazing in the Tunnels

like most things in life the lemon tree was taken for granted and it is natural such a reaction is going to spark when its taken away. i was as guilty as the next person for not going there much (due to work committments i hardly go out at all anyway these days).

its just a damn shame that the venue is gone, we could go into the ins and outs and whys all day but i feel aberdeen won't be the same without it.

13days till its officially gone!!!!!!!!!!

hope Dan Caribou has some of his specially recorded tour CD's left, by the time he gets to Aberdeen. The last one was pretty great...................

obviously missed out on this, what is it, limited release for tour only?

Think Caribou's latest release Andorra is just beautiful & lots of new

things keep popping out upon each play

40 quid (inc postage)

2 LPs

2 CDs (inc one of unreleased material)

book

lyric sheet

all in a gatefold sleeve, housed in a rigid outer sleeve.

looking forward to mein een coming......

Yesssssssssss this is fantastic news about Caribou, I was all hyped up to see them last time & had to go out of town, so fing missed

I heard they were superb

ya beautssssssss

This will be better than eating raw carrots.

And I love eating raw carrots.

Agreed & you see clearly on the way home :up:

THIS IS TONIGHT...

will be a great night

Is it a secret?

I'm speculating Michio Kurihara is going to play a wee solo set,

now that would be fantastic

hoooooooood .. can't wait to see Picastro as I too missed them playing Aberdeen, definitely concur with the Dirty Three/Cat Power comparisons. Dead excited!

Remember you can still get your tickets from One-Up tomorrow on yer lunch break

i'm live excited.....very

hey guys got my copy of Whore Luck by Picastro, its very engaging & pretty wonderful; they deserve to be heard by lots on Thursday so here are some quotes via Polyviynl label

Comparisons to Godspeed You Black You Emperor! and Dirty Three are inevitable, but Picastro also lay down all sorts of eastern European folk vibes. The beauty of the album unfurls slowly but surely. -The Independent

Picastro's darkly moody, orchestral soundscapes echo everything from the Nico-fronted Velvets and the depressingly stark

songs of Smog to Cat Power. -Now

Exudes a sound seemingly tormented by sleep-deprivation, pain, and most pressingly - fear... Caught between Elliott Smith and

Godspeed You Black Emperor, balancing pretty acoustic melodies with chillingly shrill clangs and screeches. -Pitchfork Media

It's a beautiful car crash of an album, simultaneously pretty and dissonant, and utterly compelling no matter how jarring it

gets. -All Music

What raises Picastro above the herd of atmospheric noise-makers is that these tracks aren't instrumental jams, they're songs with all the structure and emotional closure that this implies.

-The Sunday Times U.K.

Heavy on doom, atmosphere, with violin, cello, piano and guitar all creating a sense of incipient Menace. -Q Magazine

A gloomy variant of folk blues with a wide reach. -The Wire

What really makes the band is Liz Hysen's vocals--strong, caramel textured and anything but ordinary. We just love it when a

band comes out of nowhere on us. -Time Out New York

Toronto's Picastro are a succulent mix of female vocals, cello, steeped electric and acoustic guitars, and drums to dwell

upon. -Delusions of Adequacy

If you retain your ticket stub from this gig then you'll get FREE ENTRY (on presentation of the Lemon Tree stub) to our Jackie Leven gig on 5th December...

seems like a deal, although I know nothing about Mr Leven

but I will check him out. Any CD's worth investing in?

such a fantastic line-up, Picastro were utterly sublime when they played Aberdeen the 1st time.

Very excited by this event.

:up:

If Scotland beat Italy I will run up to Poldino's restaurant and flash a moon in the window.

Aye but you need to do something different from your usual on a Saturday night.

Amazing

Nouvelle Vague are brilliant.

Totally agree, they will be totally brilliant in a club setting

:up:

hoping to catch the extraordinary Chap tonight, saw them in London

six months ago. Superb live band

Pretty likely, but the fact that nearly everyone though Gira was utter wank must mean that Boredoms had something genuine going for them to avoid being chucked into the same category.

Actually there were loads of people there just to see Gira & pay homage to his wonderful work in SWANS. Whilst personally

I found his set too long I stood quietly & listened contently & then thought his set was actually okay. Thought the whole night worked really well beacause it attacted a whole range of people from 16 to 50+. Its great that a night like this happened & in the main worked because its not everyone's wish to go see yet another wanky four piece playing regurgitated & diluted JD/MBV/SM3......

That's fine, i just wondered what people actually got out of such music, and those answers were exactly what I was expecting. What about the Boredoms on record though?

go into pitchfork & put Boredoms into their search facilty I believe reviwers have given some of their albums over 9.

Can I say Boredoms were a MegaSUPERB live experience

Im really looking forward to this now, MEM will be amazing I think

Aam aff fur a fesh supper, scotch peh, can ay ginger an' a reid ay uir wullie afair headin' doon fur th' soond check.

Looks a good un, will try to come down for this

selling well, but plenty of tickets left for those folk wanting to walk up on the night

Pass the word

hey chilli hope this is well packed tomorrow, its going to be something special
