Put it on man, Taint are fucking dynamite

Listening to the tracks on the myspace, it seems very riff-a-go-go.

I think tunnels was mentioned but it hasn't been decided really. Any suggestions? Are you doing the dundee one?

Received an email this afternoon asking if I was interested in putting on Taint and Art of Burning Water in February (the date mentioned was Thursday 14th). Would anyone be interested in either putting it on or attending?

The reason I ask is, we (F & F) are putting on Down I Go and Manatees in early February (i forget the date) and I don't know if we're wanting to put on a second gig in February. Would certainly be a shame if someone wanted them up and it went to waste.

Should probably add that we may put this on - i've yet to speak to the others, but as mentioned, we're planning on putting on something else on, so chances are we won't want to do it. But you never know

Really liking the stuff on the myspace. Will definitely get the albums soon. I'll be at the gig.

Absolutely cracking night

Parity's Fall's performance in their support slot with Jeniferever, probably.

Oh dear.

I'm still recovering.

Hilarious indeed. Anyone else catch their appalling cover of The Ruts classic Staring At The Rude Boys? Catch the original here:

Aye. Painful stuff.

Converge - Glasgow Barfly

ISIS - Oran Mor

The Hope Conspiracy - Tunnels

Jonah Matranga - Tunnels 2 (the first time he was up)

Notable mentions:

Hot Cross

The Blood Brothers

any Archives show

Meet Me In St. Louis

Devil Sold His Soul

Misery Signals/Textures

Alexisonfire

Hopefully some more to come.

I'd love to go to this. =[

Apparently it means "We Play White".

Which could mean they play in a white strip or could be something more sinister. The picture below the slogan could sadly point to the latter.

Someone at work today was saying it was to do with a rival team (he didn't say who), purchasing a black player.

Heard news that there is going to be a big screen at the Dick Donald stand on Thursday

Yeah, was announced at half time on Saturday. First come, first serve for 300.

PM'd regarding some of the issues.

did you catch heavy heavy low low?

Aye, in my opinion they were one of the worst bands i've ever seen. The singer was away with the fairies and the constant gyrating by the guitar player got a tad annoying. "Banter" included "you know,i don't know." and "Scotland.That's cool."

It didn't come across as them trying to be hilarious or anything (in the same way Horse The Band considered themselves to be when they played the Tunnels ages ago), more that they really just didn't care about their performance.

Having spoken to friends who are fans of the band, they were very disappointed and expected them to be ALOT better.

The only plus was that their guitar player was wearing one of your Archives tees

the end were fucking awesome!

They were amazing last night:up:

Thanks for the help! I reckon I'll end up with the Sound Labs box and take a trip to R'n'B to get new heads for the Rat and my Holy Grail. As for the DL4, I'll hold onto the power supply for now.

Thanks once again:up:

Thanks for the link!Looks good and is certainly a decent price. Does it work alright with pedals like The Rat or any of the EH pedals with a different power input size?I have found a box online that costs 50 and that has cables specifically for these pedals and the line 6 modellers but they cost an extra 4 each.

Pedalboards, Pedal Board Cases, Effects Pedal Power Supplies and the Finest Hand-built British Guitar Amplifiers by Diago - Overview - that shows all the stuff it can do and the prices are in the "shop" section.

Diago Powerstation Compatability - shows just what that box is capable of.

According to that site, pedals such as the line 6 DL4 use 9V AC power compared to the Boss pedals which use 9V DC. Having consulted guitar shops, I understand that buying a separate adaptor would ensure a "hum" free signal although it should work fine on a DC adaptor. I have very little knowledge in this area though and have no idea whether buying a DC only box (like the one Sound Lab one) to run my pedals, which include the Rat and the DL4, would either damage them or cause the box to "blow" as a result of powering something it really wasn't designed for.

There are links on the Diago site to their competition but I've yet to come across anything that suits.

Question - what do you use to power all your pedals?I noticed the long black box next to the EH small stone but i can't make out what it is. I'm looking into powering all my pedals through one box and just wondered what you use.

9' indeed. Postage is going to be a bugger.

I read on ebay of all places that they were splitting a while back but took no notice of it seeing as there was nothing on their myspace or their website. They have an EP that was part of a Japanese tour for sale on their site as well as a 9' with Ampere away to come out. They had been going a fair while.

I have a spare ticket for Converge at the Barfly in Glasgow. The show is this Friday.Also playing are Rise And Fall, Animosity and Omerta. 12 and it's yours. Cheers.

As posted in the Music Discussion forums, the show was cancelled due to adverse weather in America.The tickets i have left won't be for sale for the rescheduled date. Cheers.

That's one sold. Three still available. Ta.

Due to the show being next week, I am now willing to take offers on the tickets. Cheers.

12.50 each. The show is at the ABC in Glasgow on Tuesday 17th April. Ta.
