I too need to express regret in the Lemon Tree closure.

Just like most people here, I was never a regular attendant, but the venue pretty much was the text book definition of "diversity".

Talking about other Aberdeen venues, would it be correct to say Cafe Drummonds is doing rather well as far as the local music scene and smaller bands are concerned? There's at least one day a week where youngsters mass to see loads of local bands. I hope The Tunnels is never going to face the same fate as The Lemon Tree.

How is The Tunnels doing just now anyway, anyone know?

I think it may be important for the public (ie. us) to know how venues are doing so that we can act appropriately if need be.

Could it be that there is no problem with the amount of quality (local and national/international) bands we are getting, but with the actual number of people attending maybe?

There have been a few gigs as of late that could have benefited with more attendance....Robots In Disguise (Moshulu) and The Hot Puppies (The Tunnels) form example. Does that have to do with the bands or the promoters? Or a combination of both? Maybe neither?

And lastly, I wouldn't complain about seeing The Needles at Exodus if it's a feasible solution.

why did the police "invade" drummonds? i completely missed out....

that is actually well funny.

what does this dude do when he is not filming miss-behaved little brats?

i think they're just as bad as him.

thats because people who read the NME are clueless and don't listen to other things unless they are told to.

well thanks with a little help from the NME i found out about some of my now favourite new bands such as Los Campesinos and Those Dancing Days. and that Bis are going on tour again. so before anyone goes off slating the NME or those who read it...mind that it is not as "cool" as previously believed. no matter what veteran scenesters may say.

nicely directed video!

really like when the camera moves in on the drummer midway and then cutting to the close up :]

Shame it came out last year then.

LIIEEEESSSS.

then again...it only charted in 2007.

I tried getting a couple, not a chance.

i feel for you.

Cold War Kids - Robbers & Cowards

this was THE album of 2007 as far as i am concerned.

there was nothing quite like it.

lame guys...LAME.

some WiFi service charge a small fortune....avoid Cloud 9 and stay...at home or something. or go near those, i dont even know what theyre called. you know what i mean....

the papers often indulge in printing white lies, half-true facts and ridiculous exaggerations.

JJ's case here shows that the EE wanted to cause some serious controversy by quoting he is not into biffy clyro in a day and age where everyone else is! get it

anyone know anyone who knows anyone who knows someone who's selling tickets at less than 64 per ticket?

for Glasgow's Classic Grand of course.

thanks!

i dont want the faint, id rather see enablers tbh

you should go back to wanking off to alyssas wish and avoid polluting these threads

thats not a very nice thing to say...

Yes, The Beatles were rather popular but so were/are The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Small Faces, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica...all popular bands. I suggest you take a wee bit of time to try and understand where contemporary music has come from and then you might gain the knowledge to make a point.

PS "Pop music" has been in existence way before the 60s.

You're deviating from your "original point".

Funny thing this.

Jason (ex Pretty Girls Make Graves) was over with The Blood Brothers a few months ago saying that his band was as good as over. However, I am really glad that both bands have played The Tunnels before kicking the bucket.

Johnny and Cody's new band is pretty though. Jaguar Love.

Coincidentally, I believe the Murder City Devils have reformed and playing shows again.

Funny things going on in that Seattle scene right now.

If you don't already know, it's been cancelled for reschedule. 'tis a long way to go for nothing... No new date yet.

phewwww!

somewhat of a relief for me....

thanks

Bullshit. The Beatles are a band that defy such simple categorisation and have influenced many disparate artists. Indeed I wouldn't say either The Police or U2 would either be simply "pop". The latter two aren't exactly known for their saccharine sweet harmonies either.

You can never blame a band for anyone taking something from them and creating shite.

The Beatles pretty much coined the phrase of "popular band".

And the other bands are pretty popular too!

Is anyone driving down to their last gig on friday?

Milton Keynes.

I could need a lift

Where was this trail, out of interest?

Mmmh, I dont actually know.

I only relate the places with ghost-tales my friend told me.

1) Stone circles were ashes of people were buried.

2) A stretch of farm-land where medical students from Aberdeen University used to dump the bodies they dug up from "fresh" graves after they dissected them in the name of education a few hundred years ago. Now THIS is a scandal...always thought medical students werent the wisest of eggs.

Do any of these stories seem familiar?

My mate Robb got a picture of master chief... I shall attempt to post it now....

I never realised Robb looks totally evil as a school girl.... nice

I wouldnae pay 1500 for one though... o_O

Lesson Number 1 in "How Not To Pull Girls".

as above, book them yourself, actually not that hard.

plus, havent they broken up?

I think everyone wants The Faint. They are currently recording their new album.

you mean liber8

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

No no...the Edgar Prais. They're not even the same band because that would be like saying Fannypack and Holy Hail are the same band...

They dropped about 6 songs from their set from when they started playing sometime last year.

I don't think that you can compare those three bands to the musical atrocity that is the Feeling. I can't ever imagine them coming up with an album as good as Revolver, War or [insert Police album here]. Their music is like being in a coma, they probably think that the Lighthouse Family are edgy.

And back on topic, I hope the Hoosiers choke on their own cocks.

Yes, but the point here is that they are all POP BANDS The Hoosiers probably wouldn't exist without.

i havent picked up the new album yet...but it seems to be getting split opinions.

maybe it has to do with the NME jumping on the bandwagon?

i certianly like the older albums though. they were punk.

also, anyone remember JETPLANE LANDING??

they had a song on their new album called "Why Do They Never Play Les Savy Fav On The Radio". awesome.

Coincidentally, I went on a little ghost trail with my friend last night.

Unfortunately, we saw no ghosts.

This probably has to do with the fact that I don't believe in ghosts. Not the traditional definition of a ghost anyway.
