It has to be seen to be believed! Honest to god, I dunno what was going through my head when I wrote that.

A week as of today! looking pretty forward to this gig actually, we've got some really fresh and cool stuff to debut so hopefully it'll go down a treat

No unfortunately it's an RG350Dfx.

Any word on this pedals condition man?

It's actually gonna be his debut gig, i'll be helping out with bass, but it's a very noise driven, post-rock influenced kinda thing and to be honest it's pretty top notch. I'm really looking forward to getting it out there. Cheers anyway woody, be sure to get some mates along too

Nice one man! Glad to hear it! bring along a crowd as well, more the merrier. Forgot to add these with the original post. leaving las vegas! black matter!

Was abseloutely brilliant at connect and a fuckin huge crowd. I'll be there without a doubt.

Black Matter will be playing a gig at the tunnels on Tuesday 20th May. The line up is as follows- E.F.F - Techno laptop noisey mashy stuff, kling klang/65 daysish Leaving Las Vegas - "Somewhere between a catastrophic explosion of electronic noise and loud fuzzy guitars" Alex Darke - Crazy melodic acoustical jiggery pokery Black Matter - A bit of everything thrown in a bag and chucked in the boot of car then driven off a cliff into a sea of custard. o_O Posters will be arriving soon. 3 door tax.

This is still for sale and an abseloute bargain. BUUUUUUMP

I'm currently sitting the HNC music course in Aberdeen which had a section called industries and infrastructures which would really be for you, more business inclined with the music.

Forgot to say I live in stonehaven so anyone interested would need to arrange a meeting point/pickup area in town.

Cool cool, I was under the impression it was just the power supply. If you get it working or want to just give it away then i'll take it off your hands man!

For sale, due to my musical tastes changing and the guitar isn't really what I need/want anymore. Very little wrong with it except for one barely noticable scuff on the back, which could be easily taken care of. Looking to raise finances for pedals and I bought the guitar new from R&B for around 300 so maybe 200 o.n.o

Im extremely interested and would be willing to pay you 20 for the boss RPS-10 if it's in working condition?

Very good salesman might I add

I could be interested in the volume pedal and mixer Get paid on the 7th, so i can pm you then so we can arrange a time to meet.

Do you still have that akai headrush by any chance? I know it was aaaaaaages ago you pm'd me, but ive been all over the place lately so if it's still up for grabs ill take it.

Do you have any specs for the cab?

I knew there would be age restrictions on hiring a driver. I also knew that it'd pretty much be a loss of money for our first run of gigs. How much money is a decent amount to save up before setting off?

All of this is great feedback by the way, just like to thank use for that. The only other question I have is, is it possible to tour with 3 or 4 small cars and meeting up or would a van be easier? Also is van rental cheap? Would it be advisable to bring along your own van driver?

if that boss tuners still on the go i'd be up for it.

See i'd abseloutely love to go on a small run of gigs around scotland. Maybe even a little further south, maybe even a few gigs in Ireland or something. It would definintly be in a fun high spirited kinda way too but I obviously understand the hardships that can be faced. Are many venues generally recipient of contractually signing you if your a small touring band? On that matter how many of you guys have played a gig in Aberdeen contractually? I've never actually played one, it's always been the paul kef way of "here's some tickets, go make money for me". I'd really like to get in to contractually signing agreements with venues.

Neil have you ever thought using your social networking sites to help promote a different aberdeen band every month? Obviously your sole purpose is to promote aberdeen-music.com but I dunno, it was just a wee thought that popped into my head.

Is there any set process that the more experienced touring bands of aberdeen use to book themselves a small run of gigs. For example do you look for the simplest geographical route take whatever slot in whatever venue is offered do you book these gigs all yourself? Have you ever used an agent? I've previously tried to set up just a small run of say five gigs around Scotland and found it increasingly hard to have all the gigs tie in comfortably. How long should a band plan ahead for such a thing? It's not something i'd be madly into doing right now, but again it's always interesting to hear some feedback. austin
