Oh well fair enough, no arguing with that. Runners up then still not bad.

Strange, Lunar were told they were joint winners by liz Hobbs, thats why they also got to play at the Status Quo gig right before White Ace. They were also offered the same deals as White Ace I belive. Were you at the final when both bands were announced? Also at the Roch at the racecource gig both bands were introduced as winners of the Ayrplay comp. Thats my undertasnding anyway not that its that big a deal. Anyway I like White Ace as well, very good, considering their age and all and I am sure we will hear baout them again soon. White ace BTW can be found on myspace, they are also listed as a friend in lunars myspace page in the link above if anyone wants to check them out.

Well guys Lunar were joint winners with a band called white ace and are supporting Status Quo at the Ayr festivel tomorrow night.

The other song is now on the radio 2 website as well. Help yourself.

I was at the Leeds festivel with Chris and Dave Officer, If I remember right, 3-4 years ago. It was excellent, then the last night came and before we knew it, buildings had been set on fire, including the port loo's which then exploded. The fire brigade came but were driven off by the crowds of drunken ppl. Next thing we knew 4 police vans arrrived and we were met by riot police in full get up. I honestly thought we were going to get batton charged at one point. What also amused me was that a police helicopter was above the site most of the night which its powerful spot light on the site. SO what did some ppl sart doing...??? Trying to have a light saber dual with it, with there torches...lol..that was some festival!

Just found out that for some odd reason radio 2 have put up a rough version of nothing that iam meant to be on there website, instead of the one recorded with Steve Levine..sigh..will have to get that remedied ASAP! Californai sun is the finished article however.

Ok At the risk of the wrath of a lot of the guys on this forum,who are fed up with me posting about Lunar here are the completed songs on the Radio 2 website for free download. http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/radio2/soldonsong/whatson/Aberdeen.shtml They are in a .ram format so think you will need real player, doesnt work on Windows Media Player unless U have the most up to date one.

Lol well this thread has certainly had more replies and views than any I have put up before. Ha for better or worse now more ppl have heard of Lunar/Korboda/Stanley/Stayover and Littlekicks..although all the others I suspect where well known anyway.

Ok I take your point:up: But I have contributed to other posts before...honest. Can you understand why I feel kind of fustrated when this kind of thing happens? I mean i am not doing anything wrong/ I am not being a dick, I hope. I am just trying to get some interest in them, to get ppl to come along and see a band they have never heard off. Anyway...sorry for telling you to wise the fuck up, was a bit uncalled for.

Ah Ha Well i think you will find that i have posted about other topics before. And I read most threads on here also, so get off your high horse.

Yup Fair Enough. One thing I have noticed is that this place is well cliqued up.

See See I told u postive and negative. Good songs and bad songs like any band.

Lol well thanks for all of those comments. Doesnt really bother me, I knew there were negative things to be said, but thought I would still put the review up for you all to see it. Incidentally after Neil read this review I think he ahs finally decided he is going to tone it down with the jumping around thing. As I said before I think he points out some positive things and some negative things. I know the band spoke to the guy that wrote the article, and that was the impression they got as well. We will just have to wait and see what happens along other lines. Persoanally I dont think the gig reviewed was the best one they have ever done ..I said in a previous msg that i thought the sound was crap, far too loud. I am sure people will make up there own opinon about Lunar either way, like or dislike. As I said just put the review up for those interested.

Sure there were negative points...mainly about the singer climbing on top of things as usual, and a comment about one of the covers, but positive comments there also, well thats my reading it certainly doesnt say they are terrible/awful . e.g. "'California Sun', a track from their first EP, sounds more polished, perhaps due to their recent work with Steve Levine as a result of winning Radio 2's 'Demo to Limo' competition, and comes across like a less boring Feeder while showing off bassist Steve Tosh's excellent backing vocals." Fair enough the guy who wrote this doesnt like emo...even though persoanlly I dont even think they are emo esk..but hey...what do i know.
