  2. Kilau Christmas CD time again!!!!!!

    in Networking

    Posted

    If you could send me a promo copy (unless it's for charity in which case I'll purchase a copy in advance?), I can give this a wee plug in the Evening and on Hercules Moments?

    I also present a show on Aberdeen Student Radio, and we'll be doing a Christmas special, so I could give a couple of tracks some airplay too :)

  6. Local Music in the Evening Express

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Hey guys,

    I don't know about you, but I have always felt the local press - the P&J and Evening Express - have been lacking something over the past few years. That something is decent local music coverage, but all that will hopefully be about to change...

    After literally months of discussions, I am now pleased to announce that starting next week I will be writing a weekly column focusing exclusively on local musicians playing in Aberdeen. The column will generally be a look at what's happening over the coming week, and will also hopefully feature some wee reviews of local releases.

    Obviously, I am doing a lot of research for this. I am currently trawling sites like Aberdeen Events, The Kiosque, and this very forum, as well as emailing all the venues I can possibly think of. But, unfortunately, there are still some gigs and events that slip through the net, and here's the part where I ask for your help!

    If you've got something to shout about, send it on over to eoin@herculesmoments.co.uk (or post it in this thread, although email is more likely to get my attention). I might already know about it, but then again I might not. Also, there is no way at all that I could fit everything that happens in Aberdeen into my column every week (if only!) so please don't be offended if your release/gig/event doesn't make it in.

    I will be trying to represent the vibrancy and diversity of the Aberdeen music scene, but obviously it will take me a couple of weeks to get into my stride. For now, though, I better get back to writing... see you in the What's On pages next Thursday :up:

  9. Free Downloadable 'Best of Aberdeen' Sampler

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Hello there,

    My name's Eoin and I'm co-owner of local music blog Hercules Moments (Hercules Moments).

    Later this month - the 18th of August to be precise - we will be releasing a free downloadable sampler on our website featuring 10 of the best bands in Aberdeen. (And yes, we know we missed off a few good bands, but who knows, there might be another one sometime in the future!!)

    The sampler, which we have imaginatively titled 'Hercules Moments: Vol. 1', boasts a range of styles from indie and pop-punk through to classic rock and blues, and features tracks from:

    Eskimo Blonde, Estrella, Only the Brave, FiveFifteen, Indian Red Lopez, Captain Face, Right Hand Left, The Hijacks, The Lorelei and Gerry Jablonski & the Electric Band.

    To celebrate the release, we're holding a bit of a launch party at Cafe Drummonds on the 18th starting at 8pm, which will feature exclusive acoustic performances by Right Hand Left, Eskimo Blonde, FiveFifteen and Only the Brave.

    We hope to see you there. If you come along, please do stop me and say hi - I'll be the one in the Hercules Moments t-shirt running around like a madman!

    Details can be found on our website, and on Facebook (Welcome to Facebook).

    Cheers,

    Eoin

  11. Help Please! Stanley Contact Details?

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Hi there,

    Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong forum, but I'm faily new to these boards. I'm looking for contact details for the band Stanley regarding a project I'm working on. I spoke to Ramsay about ita couple of weeks ago in Bruce Millers, but I can't reach him, or any member of the band, via MySpace. I also can't find any band email addresses or any other contact details.

    If anyone can put me in touch, I'd very much appreciate it, as I need to speak to them asap.

    Thanks,

    Eoin
