    was in nme last wednesday

  3. Good lord' date=' one of only three decent bands you saw! I say! :down:

    Well here's how my weekend went...

    [u']Saturday

    Guillemots - were rousing, fun and intense, a fantastically energetic start to the weekend.

    Cut Copy - Just caugh the end of them were, seemed decent but i couldn't form an accurate opinion from what i saw.

    Hope of the States - pretty solid, good choice of songs, typically ramshackle.

    Placebo - Caught first half, was alright, too many new songs though.

    Divine Comedy - thankfully started late so i saw their whole set. They were excellent, Hannon was on fine form, and nice covers of Nelly Furtado and the Associates.

    White Rose Movement - Wholly unoriginal but fantastic live, Alsatian was particularly vitriolic.

    Franz Ferdinand - Caught about first 3rd of their set, seemed okay, but i couldn't be bothered standing in the rain.

    Forward Russia - ace, don't like them much, but they were hyper and entertaining, reminded me of At the Drive-In

    Vitalic - slamming, so to speak, never danced so much in my life before, despite being totally sober.

    Sigur Ros - Saw up to Hoppymejigger (that's right just there to hear the hits!), which was undeniabley joyous sounding. Otherwise were alright.

    RHCP - Saw Give It Away and Under the Bridge, too much pointless noodling.

    Sunday

    Spinto Band - Good clean fun.

    My Latest Novel - Not exactly a good festival band, but were a highlight nontheless, the singing/bawling in harmony particularly worthy of seeing live.

    Regina Spektor - Not bad, superficially much like a drummerless Dresden Dolls.

    Animal Collective - Disappointing, too consistently loud with inaudible vocals to maintain my interest, but had a few good moments in spite of this. Really rather wish i had gone to see Jenny Lewis instead.

    Jose Gonazalez - Caught his last two songs. Cover of Teardrop was pointlessly similar.

    The Futureheads - caught about last 3rd of their set, and was fun, they have a great rapport with the crowd without it getting cloying.

    Eels - Possibly the highlight, music was alright, but the shenanigans with the "security" guy were hilarious.

    Strokes - Solid enough, played all the right songs.

    The Go! Team - Only caught Ladyflash but it was immense.

    Boy Kill Boy - Only watched them cos the tent was full for the Primals. Fucking awful, the dullest band in the world. First time i've felt compelled to heckle a band.

    I made sure not to look at the main stage at all, even from a great distance, whilst the Who were on so i could gladly say i'd never seen the geriatic bastards live.

    Only non-music related incident of note was a member of PVH threatening to pee on my tent, dunno whether it was in jest or not, but lucky he didn't cos i would have ended him!!:nono:

    why do people go to see franz ferdinand, they are truely awful, as for the who, they were really good, dont care what people say

  4. Word did reach Aberdeen in the form of them playing at Snafu last month. NME put back a double-page feature on them till the week after' date=' so we lost a shit-load of publicity that would have made the difference crowd-wise.

    Kudos for Steve and Nick from the Dirty Hearts for their booking ability, you guys that missed them will just have to pay the 15 - 20 when they come to Aberdeen next time - we only charged 4!![/quote']

    i seen them at snafu, was a good gig but i was extrememly hungover

  5. Not full - but a lot more people there than I expected post-T. Think most people there hadn't been home yet...

    yeah, none of us had sobered up yet, we took a bus of about 60 of us to T and 95% of our bus was there, fucking ace gig
