Damn, I could have been playing a round of Alpha 3 in the time I took to read that.

Is he quite a fusion-jazz player?

It's not a bad tune, although usually not the kind of thing I would listen to a lot. Their sound and songwriting has improved a lot since they started, and I can see how they put their influences to good use. It's a lot heavier than I expected, and personally I think they are going in a good direction as they have quite a popular sound that appeals to fans of many metal genres and sub-genres, call what you will. Like I said not really the sort of thing I would listen to a lot, but I wouldn't mind hearing it live at some point. It's clear they put a lot of effort into their writing and playing together.

Yes' date=' they arrived today! They are fucking excellent! plus I got a few Give Daddy the Knife stickers for the long wait. Sabrepulse is basically like Acrnym brother, as they both live in Glasgow and sometimes help on each other's tunes: [url']http://www.myspace.com/sabrepulse You can download the full album of Famicom Connection (the CD which I bought), and I highly recommend you do so. Fantastic stuff. 8)

They are an excellent cover band. Very entertaining. Their cover of 'The Model' is particularly interesting.

I don't really care wether or not you own it, but how does that photo prove that you do? It's just a big blur. A kiss for all u haterz: I am Rune hear me roar blurphishy!

I was hoping he shit himself or something. Bit of an anti-climax

Japanese releases do tend to be much better than European and American releases, as a lot of them brand extra tracks and content as well as higher quality tracks. Only thing is, Japanese releases can get ridiculously expensive for certain artists. Mew's Japanese release of 'Frengers' for example has two extra tracks, OBI strip etc. along with a special inlay, and you are looking for that to cost at least £40-£50. They released an excellent Japanese-only track called 'I Should Have Been A Tsin-Tsi (For You)', which is a pity, as it is not a B-side anywhere else.

... What the fuck does that mean? I didn't get a word of that!

Sorry to be a bit off topic, but it's just to let those of you who are thinking of buying CDs from Give Daddy the Knife that you will require a lot of patience! I ordered 'Sense-Data' along with a Sabrepulse LP, a Saskrotch LP and another 3" EP that I can't remember the name of over two months ago, and they still haven't arrived! The guy that runs this label must be a right lazy bastard. He told me yesterday that they have finally been shipped. The CDs should be worth this appauling wait though.

I actually know someone who placed a bid on EBay for 2 tickets to see the Kooks at the music Hall. The starting bid was £30, so he just felt inclined to bump it up to £106 in one go. o_O

I think your best bet would probably be BlackSheep Music: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=76550139

Oh dear. Let's hope that it isn't a solo acoustic set.

Heh, what a knob.

Tom Jenkinson Peter Erskine Kirk Covington (of Tribal Tech) Dan 'Loord' Foord (of SikTh, excellent excellent drummer) Sebastian Rochford (Cannot believe he hasn't been mentioned yet) Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen (of Mew)

I am popping along to see the National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland tomorrow at the beach ballroom, so it should be pretty good.

OMG i cnat believ u did tht shit ive heard bettr stuf cumin from stonehaven lol cash means nuttin 2 me now he wood b cross wif u if he waz aliev I think it's better than the original, you fucks.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the following ( I know some have played already in Aberdeen): Yumi Yumi Acrnym Patrick Wolf Polar Bear Ceephax Acid Crew Sabrepulse yourcodenameis:milo Bearsuit Clor Da Nest Duracell Hoover's Ooover Plus Tech Squeeze Box Polysics Andrew Weatherall George Evelyn (Nightmares on Wax) Fucking right. That would be brilliant. Apparently they reside in London now' date=' so it might not be as difficult as you think to get them up here. Also, '...And the Glass Handed Kites' is released in the States tomorrow, so perhaps they will consider touring there to promote and also play dates in other countries at the same time, possibly ending in the UK or Denmark. EDIT: ...and I was right: [url']http://www.myspace.com/mew

I really enjoyed Friday, and I didn't even get pissed (which you may have told by our live performance). Our set was alright but nowhere near the best we have played. We aren't really used to playing first (apart from our first gig and when we supported Horse), but it was still good fun. I was scared to jump on the monitors incase the staff jumped on my face though, so perhaps not as much antics as we tend to do. I thought Valentine were rubbish. Fair enough, it is only their second gig, but their sound is not my cup of tea at all, adding to the fact that the in house sound in drummonds was pish aswell. Lucy's vocals were indistinguishable and pretty ear raping when she shouted. Unfortunately I missed Deadloss Superstar as I was outside talking to my old school technician, but from what I heard, they sounded not bad. I expected not to like Fiction/Action, but I thought they did a very good set! Some songs I wasn't keen on, particularly the slower one, but all in all, a very enjoyable live act. Their music isn't one of my preferences really, which goes to show how good a live band they are. I didn't like the Band from UNCLE at all, but the crowd seemed to like them. The music was sloppy, you couldn't hear what the singer was singing, and the others were playing this wall of noise which in the end, made me leave Drummonds. All in all, a good night, and thanks to Fudge for letting us play.

Polysics, Plus Tech Squeeze Box, Yumi Yumi (although they are based in London), and any Motoi Sakuraba stuff

hahaha Are Extreme Machine that awful covers band with really old and young members I saw at the outdoor festival about 3 weeks ago?

Do you just post chain letters and expect some form of discussion?
