Ditto Mr Dedalus. Well said. Stripey - Chill out and dont dare imply I, or anyone else on this forum, is a "twat" or a "gromless fucker".

Please note; Although I listed these bands doesn't mean I necessarily like em. Its just a list of folk I think we're going to hear more of whether we like it or not.

So who do people think are the bands/artists we will be hearing alot more of as we venture into 2008? Seen as I've started this nonsense I'll go first. I fink we'll hearing alot more from; Vampire Weekend Holy Fuck Black Kids Operator Please MGMT Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip Yo Majesty Pete and the Pirates Does it offend you yeah Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong Muscles Ebony Bones Friendly Fires The Teenagers Your Turn.

I heard it was Kode (used to be Drum). Which is alot more likely. But you know what rumors are like. I'd be very surprised if it was Drummonds. Im sure someone will post soon to put the record straight.

Right all sorted.... apparently some confusion between One Up staff over them. Fixed now so they do 100% have tickets!!! Earl of sandwich some has toooo

Hmmm there seems to be some confusion between One up and Moshulu regarding this as One up were requested to start selling em on Monday. Mr Milne is on the case.

Can just imagine you now rocking about Moshulu with a gaggle of Abdns finest pasty faced, greasy, junkie whores... we'll get you a fur coat, a walking cane and a massive gold goblet for your pimp juice to complete the look... oh and a ramp set up for the disabled ones too.

Just back in Adeen and this has been brought to my attention by a few folk. Sorry about that mate. Did you have any bother at the box office? Will find out what the deal is with One up and will let y'all know asap.

We had it first. That's all im sayin. But of course you can G dawg. Usuall 6 bottles of Cristal and 2 Thai hookers in your rider too aye?

Heard great things. Annoyed I couldnt make it.

Aye its at the Tunnels. Great stuff your up for it. I think the line up is pretty much full now. Need to check. Details to follow shortly.

Advance Tickets 7 are available from Ticketweb, Oneup and Aberdeen box office (Buy now for priority entry and to avoid potential disappointment)

Helping some of the peeps @ the Lemon Tree put together a Save the Lemon Tree gig this Saturday (daytime!). Looking for folk to get involved. No Money obviously but there'll be press, radio and possibly TV coverage of the event ...pleanty of flyers/posters doing the rounds too. Pm me please if your available. Cheers

I thought about asking santa for that but then decided I much prefere a Kitten with lazers for eyes.

Two Adventures in one night! What more could you ask for?!!!

Here here!! I agree 100% and glad someone from "the inside" has made it clear to everyone the great work the Leomn Tree did. PS Why move the thread?

So due to the sad circumstances we've moved Adventures Close To Home to MOSHULU for Dec 22nd (The Needles last ever gig + Copy haho ACTH DJS and Giles walker) Not ideal but dem it the breaks....and the Moshulu team are sound and know what there doing so it should be a great night.

Sat 22nd of Decembers ADVENTURES CLOSE TO HOME is now at MOSHULU

Radioskool was class!! Loved that night. We can only hope.

Well said. (PS. I apologise for some of the bad language in my previous posts - Its been a stressfull day)

Interesting article. Hmmmm' """The multi-million pounds plans include areas for film screenings and music performances plus workshops and dance and TV studios. """ Dont we have all those things already?!!! Film Screeneings = in the Massively under used belmont cinema. music performances plus workshops and dance = Hmm THE FUKIN LEMON TREE, foyer, dance space etc! TV studios = why the fuk do we need a TV studio. Im sure we have somthing like this too and closed because no bastard used it. Aberdeen city council are a bunch if idiots . Why ruin a lovely green space in the city centre for facilitys we already have or dont need. Looks like another denburn health center esk 'modern' monstrosity waiting to happen.

ALOT of people here seem to forget that the Lemon Tree was more than just a fukin Venue! Bitching and moaning about how badly it was run, rubbish gigs etc. - (Its was on the up as far as I was concerned with a new programmer in place and next years gigs/events looking great.) What some people dont realise is the place had its hands tied with years of council bureaucracy and bullshit. Because it was part financed by the council the Lemon Tree had to be part run and manged by the council therefore meet certain rules, regulations and rubbish. From everything to its finance, having to put the bar out to tender, to mangement to health and safety - alot of crap implemented by the council which just wasn't conducive with a profitable business. - Oh and never giving them a 3am licence didnt help. Also the council expected the Lemon tree to employ the likes of a Youth development officer etc. And run theater workshops for the disabled, youth projects, kids plays, dance shows, music workshops etc etc ALL OF WHICH LOSE VAST AMOUNTS OF MONEY!!!! But help Keep kids off the street, enrich disabled peoples lives, help and encourage the youngsters into music and is overall a benefit to the community as a whole. Then the council turns round and say = "oh why you not making money?!!" "WTF!!!!!!! Because you have implemented so much BULLSHIT, restrictions, bureaucracy, rules AND we're trying to meet the remit that its impossible to make money!!" Its a disgrace the council has let it go under. Also the way they spun the initial story about how they offered a loan but the L tree board said no. Making them out to look like the bad guys. It didnt mention anything of the fact they were making the volunteer board personally viable for the said 250k!

Total disaSter! The Lemon Tree was much more than a Venue. All the youth development work, arts work, local band support, disabled theater groups etc etc all huge loss makers - no much wonder they couldnt balance the books. The line up for for gigs and events for next year was looking great too due to the efforts of the new booker Isla who had the place on the up. I could rant on forever about it but I need to shoot off....all in all - Its a massive shame. As for Adventures Close To Home - We're currently working out our options, hoping to getting our fancy lights back, and will be back for sure.

Currently working out our options after the Lemon Tree disaster. Watch this space.

Unfort the gig is 18+ So far Copy Haho will be on around 10.45 and The Needles around 12.
