believe it or not i'm the only person in this thread in the band, taoist guy is a fan who has travelled some distances to watch us, i didn't realise he was a member and felt it polite to say hello when i spotted him posting on this board - this became a brief discussion that could perhaps have taken place in private.. apologies for this, but is it really anyworse than us talking within earshot of you in a pub? not liking the music is fair enough, and your critiscm of us mentioning glasgow/edinburgh dates is valid to a point, though it's still the nearest we've played yet and our myspace account shows that we have a few people round your way who'd like to see us, and 2.5 hours is less drive than 6 hours. we're hoping (as was my reason for joining these boards) to find an aberdeen date, maybe we will, maybe we won't, either way i don't see the harm in a band (or even in this case, a bands fans) trying to spread the word of their existence further afield critiscm of lack of full stops is just being picky i apologise if we've offended or annoyed, we are new here, the expected behaviour on every messageboard is different, but that's no excuse for being unfriendly. how's about we get a friendly mod to lock this thread, shake hands and start getting to know each other all over again?
