  1. Pretty gutted it's closing to be honest, I go pretty much every week. It's about the only half decent club in Aberdeen, other than maybe Snafu. But tbh Snafu doesn't do a lot for me other than the fact they sometimes get good djs like Erol Alkan and Vitalic.

    I don't really pretend to be a connaisseur of dance/dj'ing etc but generally I liked what I heard at Kef. And it sure as hell beats the listening to a rundown of the top 40 in Priory, Pearl Lounge or Liquid. I might just stay away from clubs completely now. Aberdeen is fucking shit :down:

  2. The problem I have is that I only seem to have found three bands with guitars that I really, really like this decade, coz most stuff seems to be derivative pish, gumph!!

    Maybe that's part of my problem. It just seems like anyone I like misses out Aberdeen though. Why the fuck is Paul Weller only playing in Motherwell and Dundee in his upcoming tour :down:

    MGMT for example are one of the very few new bands I like but I just knew Aberdeen would not be included in their upcoming tour.

  3. I like to consider my music tastes to be pretty varied but rarely does anything announced interest me. Whenever decent bands come to Scotland they generally seem to bypass Aberdeen, at least ones I like.

    I think I've been to about 2 gigs in the last year if being perfectly honest. I know glasgow and Edinburgh are much bigger but I could probably find a decent band to see pretty much every week there. Even Inverness, Dundee and Motherwell have been getting some quality acts in the past 12 months. 65daysofstatic for example are playing in Inverness soon, I know for a fact they'd get plenty tickets sold in Aberdeen.

  4. Ahhhh yes. 'One Night Only' (which incidently sounds like they should be a cheesy 70's tribute act?)

    Another in a long line of shitty bands such as the view, the pigeon detectives, the holloways, the enemy, jo lean and the jing jang wank, etc etc the list is eeeendless.

    Anyway, my point is that they are all bollocks, and sound the same, and are about as 'rock' as aqua.

    Think i'll pass.

    Couldn't have put it better mate. The amount of those bands are frightening. Pull Tiger Tail, Dykeenies, Courteeners, Enemy, Pigeon Detectives, yaddddda yada yada......Although the in thing now seems to be cheap electro bands as opposed to indie ones.

  5. Not wanting to nitpick here, but seriously if you are going along to SEE them dj then perhaps you really need to re evaluate why you are going in the first place.

    I reckon this night will be well attended and i'm guessing they will be playing a nice mix of classic manchester tunes, new indie and some of those indie friendly electro tunes the kids love.

    As you say, it's likely that they will play a good selection of tunes etc.

    I don't think anyone will go because they expect them to be Erol Alkan or Scratch Perverts on the decks.

  6. I know what he meant, and it really wouldn't be worth seeing. The novelty of seeing those cretins goof about would wear thin within 5 minutes and you'd have just paid 13 quid for a shit dj set. Plus the place would be full of boorish idiots like yourself, y'know the type that find bands like Glasvegas a bit queer.

    So have you seen them playing a dj set then?
