  1. I've seen cast of the capital and the little kicks, nobody else as of yet
  2. I completely agree, we pulled out of the second heat after realising that the competition had absolutely no desire to display talent but instead decided to reward bands for their willingness to obtain votes which in turn meant a wad of cash for the company. The Locals from Aberdeen won the entire competition last year, which is quite obviously a fantastic achievement for which they deserve the merit and are now playing an entire UK tour on the back of it (which I believe was a prize??), but you can't help but think that if they didn't take a bus load of people to Liverpool (at least 100 people) that the competition result may well have been different......
  3. Jesus Christ I doubt my band even know that many people! We personally decided to take up on this offer because bands on our level don't often get the chance to play at venues such as this, and providing Steve and the other acts get the correct backing I'm sure this could potentially be a huge success.
  4. Haven't got around to finding a camera....call me poor but I don't even have one on my phone!! But 120 to anybody who wants it, absolutely brilliant guitar but I can't afford to keep it
  5. if you can drive costco westhill are recruiting, I just got a job at the lemon tree but not sure if there are any vacancies justnow
  6. Haha, I understand we're not that well known, but the three people who know of us might care!
  7. I always presumed they were signed to rough trade, given the two albums which they have now released on that label
  8. Hey folks, Daryl here....incase you don't me or my band I play guitar in Marionettes who have been in and around the Aberdeen music circuit for a couple of years now. Just to let a few folks know what we've doing recently, here goes: Just played our last gig with Andrew (surfa_rosa) a couple of weeks back at the Lemon Tree and went down a storm, could possibly have been the perfect send off and he shall be sorely missed. We are re-grouping and have recently recorded a tune that you all shall hopefully be able to indulge in soon, as we have a new bass player and are now incorporating a synthesiser into our full line-up. Our "comeback gig" of sorts shall be at the beach ballroom on the 22nd August, so would be good to see a few of you there for a good time! We intended to do a week-long tour in September which we had booked but a lack of funds and incomprehendable circumstances proved to get in the way of this so we're merely venturing away for the weekend instead. So for anybody who cares........thank you! May this musical venture of ours be long lasting and phenomenal! PS........Local Acts You Should ALLLLLL Make A Point Of Seeing: Debutant (Possibly the best soloist about just now) The Little Kicks (At least buy their album, some seriously good tunes on there) CCJ (Relocated here from Edinburgh, very very promising) Cast of the Capital (Some of the best music I've heard come out od this city) Anyways, CIAO!
  9. Aye, but I suppose anybody who gets a team that awful into the premier league with a goal deserves it. I've heard he's joining the Darlington backroom staff and he even applied for the Dons manager job too
  10. Aberdeen to travel to the KC Stadium to play Hull is Dean Windass' testimonial.......GLAMOUR TIE!
  11. Really? That sort of defeats the whole purpose of it's existence, especially seeing as they played pet sounds last year
  12. this is ace!! the japanese popstars are fucking mental i saw them at rockness any news of local act confirmations?
  13. Ha yeah that was him, he was buckled like........oh well at least he enjoyed himself
  14. Cast of the Capital were ace, I can't help but think that myself and a comrade of mine kinda spoiled it by being overly enthusiastic with our support..........guess intoxication levels helped me enjoy myself a little too much!
  15. The Bank of Scotland, I am a student and would like a student current account. I didn't get one.................cunts.
  16. Really enjoyed reading this....incredibly accurate
  17. really need to offload this gear, prices ARE negotiable
  18. Worn Brown Epiphone G400 - 135 Jim Dunlop Cry Baby (Standard Wah) - 30 Boss DS1 Distortion - 25 Digitech BP50 MultiFX Unit - 35 (Old Version) Cheers
  19. But if the black looks shite then I'd have to buy a new one anyways
  20. Yeah my band is taking time out just now and I've got other guitars I can play, Thanks a lot mate that's much appreciated!!
