  1. Their new material is pretty good like and tbh I like the older stuff too. It was great to hear live. Totally understand that it was never going to be massivly busy mate but 30 people on a Sat? Surely people wanna see the local supports even? Again regardless of your opinion of Cats - they still did so much better at the other Scottish dates I booked. I originally posted in the heat of the moment - Im over it now but there is def an apathy towards gigs again at the minute. The cycle seems to be heading back to negative??
  2. I wasnt trying to be impressive mate - not at all. I was just explaining why I had mistaken the dj next doors name etc. We had arrived at the venue in plenty time - in fact early - but there was no chance of soundcheck at 3pm so went for dinner. Unfortunately the wonder that is Revolution fucked up and we waited 1 and a half hours for food that still didnt come (with the exception of one sandwich) We then quickly grabbed a subway as the band obviously needed to eat. This was explained to the venue staff. I dont even know who you are as a user but if you were one of the venue staff then youll know that I am generally on time for my gigs I put on there, that I hate bands being late myself and always have an estimated running time. If youre in one of the bands that were playing then you will know that I sent out a running order to you all, however due to a late pull out we had to change that. Surely you understand that happens and theres not much I can do but move everyone earlier otherwise people would be waiting from half 7 til 9ish before anyone came on. Regardless there was no one there for any of the bands playing - Eric Euan made a fair effort but the rest was dissapointing. I will happily discuss the situation with you in private message if you let me know who you are mate. Lots of planning goes into all the gigs I put on, its is almost always impossible to stick to it. The doors still opened on time, the show still ran on time so as much as Im sorry for any waiting time, I couldnt do much about it. If you want to join me in venting some anger at revolution though feel free!
  3. Bump! Bump! and Bump again! Cant wait! 7 - one up and Welcome to TicketWeb!
  4. Ha shit yeah - that was me! I was indeed very much worse for wear! Sorry about that! I think I did make a shockingly out of place request. We had to retire to the "dressing room" after that. That man was having none of it! Fair enough really, dont know how we ended up through there. Was a pretty messy weekend with the Cats lot - thankfully Glasgow and Edinburgh went okay and think theyll only be doing Glasgow in Oct which is a shame. Im not sure where I got Inkster from apart from them being a promo lot too - mmm! We started drinking at lunchtime Im afraid which prob only topped up the night befores! You were playing good tunes, the Cats were enjoying them in the dressing room before going on mate - seem to recall Radiohead and many other gems! Im writing too much again! Ha! Yeah I guess their profile isnt that high up here but youd still think on a Sat that it wouldve been a bit better! Next Time!
  5. You dont really - most of my shows of new bands are 5 - and thats cos we have to cover substantially higher costs then Edgar Prais will be on. Most Ive stretched to ever was 10 and that was for a high profile act and I had no option as was pre set. And anyway Edgar Prais were supporting Cats and Cats and Cats whos tour I was orgainising and stole the whole rider while we were on stage in Edinburgh on Sunday. Thats just wrong! Boooo! And therefore shouldnt be paid anyway!
  6. Oh yeah mate will keep trying! What bugs me most is that there are so many bands in Aberdeen who must like music so where are they when others bands are playing. They expect the support when they play but are no where to be seen at other shows. Im not stupid enough to expect every gig to be busy - sometimes its just overly embarrassing when youre touring with that said band (I was booking and lookin after all their Scottish shows) and you build up Aberdeen as being the most likely to be busy given Radiohead in Glasgow and Euro Final clashing with Edinburgh yet it ends the opposite! Just the general attitude as well - as soon as the band played the first note in Edinburgh everyone and I mean everyone came right to the front and paid attention, Aberdeen was the usual chatter! Ah you win some you lose some - I know that but it almost makes more sense to hire Cabaret Voltaire for example and pay a band and actually make some cash than it does to take the constant risk here. Granted Im putting on new and up and coming bands but surely there should be some interest there? Im ranting now - Ill go for my dinner! Ha!
  7. Crap crowd again! Strange the ones you put all the work into are dead and the ones ie Glasgow and Edin that I didnt promote at all hardly had decent turnouts! And whats with sitting at the back - just seems to be Aberdeen as well! mmm frustrating sometimes when you get bands like this and no one seems to give a shit. Cant have been much more than 30 people there on a Sat night. Not the only gig that suffers like this compared to in other cities. Ah well, we soldier on - only so many losses you can take though! Great band, great mini tour. Totally enjoyed all the shows. Was just a tad embarrased of the Aberdeen one. Thanks to those who came though!

  14. Indeed it is a terrible name - but hey we cant judge people on that!

  20. Not sure what you mean? As in attendance or gig quality? I didnt think LOTP were great but was too busy for Tunnels 2 and sound wouldnt work next door so even if there was 1 person at LOTP would still have had to be in Tunnel 1. And Ida Maria stole some of my rider for LOTP and was generally quite rude so we'll call it quits!
  21. Swedens finest Immanu El visit Aberdeen as part of their mammoth European tour. With the obvious comparison being Sigur Ros, they mix typically Nordic melodies with the beautiful soft vocals so often found in the best Scandanavian bands that make it over here. Truly superb live, this show is sure to be a cracker. The band released debut album "they'll come, they'll come" in 2007 obviously knowing that the people of Aberdeen will indeed!!! You can have a listen and then undoubtedly listen again at www.myspace.com/immanuelband Be careful when google searching - Immanuel without the gap inbetween is a dodgy rapper - thought Id made a big faux pas with the old booking - thankfully not!!! 2/3 supports available - pls message me at www.myspace.com/aberdeengigpromotions
