  2. do aberdeen 'music lovers' even know whats going on under their noses...?!!

    we at Arkade Projects would love feedback from everyone on this....

    we reckon we put in a lot of bloody effort to bring some great bands to this city. but sometimes we ask ourselves 'why the hell do we do it?!'...(well WE know why...cause we want to see them' date=' first and foremost!) but a lot of the time we are let down by bad turnouts, which leads to a strain on the pocket which could eventually lead to us not being able to do it at all.

    so...we just wonder...are you, the aberdeen gig-going population, even interested in/bothered about seeing the bands we put on? what maybe puts you off coming to an Arkade Projects show? is it the wierd/different venues we are choosing?! not enough promtion? or you're just not that interested in seeing cutting edge new music?! or maybe just lazy?

    we really believe we are doing something worthwhile and great for the city, bringing acts to aberdeen, and sometimes scotland, for the first time...culturally important i'd say. but if the scene isn't supported by the public it can't last...

    we definately know that there were people missing at the Charlottefield/Paper Cut Out show who would have loved it...the glasgow show was packed out the door.we have great things lined up for the next few months but are nervous to tell you the truth.

    where are all these anonymous faces who claim to be into the kind of stuff we want to put on?!

    feedback please...![/quote']

    i generally attend as much underground gigs as pos as i strive to find underground talent, but what i've noticed over the years that is really anoying is that when you find a flyer with, say, 4 bands listed that you havent heard of, there is absolutly no information on what genre they are, what they sound like etc... imean if you want people tio come to shows a little explanation of the type of music these bands are playing would go a long way to pulling in a croud, im not saying all flyers are like this but i'd say quite allot are...
