  1. this is quality, my mate just phoned to say that wifebeater were causing uproar amongst the ranks of the labour party as their music condoned domestic abuse..........................absolute quality!!! shame you guys have split up, never witnessed a live show

  2. Fuck me, The Marionettes were good.

    Anyone inclined towards energetic and vigourous guitar-driven indie-rock will get a big kick out of this crew. Glad I finally managed to catch them.

    Why thank you for the kind words, I look forward to the 1st April!

    Anybody who feels they maybe want to catch us but aren't sure, just pm me or leave your name below and I'll stick you on the guestlist for our dirty hearts club gig with rescue party on the 19th March at Snafu, see how nice I am? :up:

  3. don't get pissed/stoned (esp the latter!!) before you play. You'll think you sound great, but you won't!!

    Speak for yourself mate, but it's not the end of the world if you have a few tipples before playing!

    For me soundchecking is a bitch, played the Lemon Tree in the summer for the international festival and it ended up being a good gig

    One band took a whole hour to soundcheck and clearly didnt give a fuck about anybody else, they thought they were the most important act there and sulked when they found out Edgar Prais were playing last claiming "they had never heard of them". They really got on my nerves, we ended up with a linecheck before playing to quite a busy crowd......i dont generally like line checking when a venue is full of people as i think it looks unprofessional and disorganised

    to make it worse that leeds band ate our pizza rider!!! gutted!!!

  4. thanks to everybody who came down last night, especially those who stayed late enough to see us it's much appreciated,

    if anybody enjoyed themselves so much that they want more then see us for tickets to the Muscle Club on Monday night

    cheers

  5. Mmm this is from ages ago - my side of the story was that bands who sell tickets for our shows (thats AGP) take unsold tickets and money to me at the gig, I then pay them at the end of the night based on that. On this occassion they just kept a 100 odd quid which to be fair is more than I would be paying a fairly new band as they were at the time. At this point I was co promoting with the Tunnels and so understandably they were pissed off with the band and probably me.

    I apprecaited they made a big effort to get people along and would have paid them well for that show as they had a lot of people there, but dont agree with them just keeping that amount.

    I believe they thought they were owed money from their first gig at the Tunnels too but no agreement had been made for that one and they were on that show as Id never heard them before and wanted to give them a chance to play a decent show as they were just starting.

    I have no hard feelings about this at all like. Its forgotten about as far as Im concerned. Im sure if they spoke to Tunnels/Drummonds as in Hen that something could be sorted.

    They are a very good band like.

    hahaha and then we got banned too for some reason!

    that was result of a tragically major understanding

    but yeah, I wish velvet audio were allowed to play drummonds/tunnels......was looking forward to their set tomorrow night

    and aye, come along tomorrow to the fat hippy night, they're always great fun!

  6. the underkills (i think it's fair to say, we are everyone's favourite band on these forums, no?), are playing at the fat hippy showcase on friday 27th february.

    Cool to see you there.

    I think i'm right in saying the other wonderful bands on show will be:

    The marionettes

    velvet audio

    audiokicks

    and somebody else, can't remember who - will update when i find out!

    Think it might be a band called foo fighters or something - heard they're nae bad.

    Cheers,

    calum :up:

    Oh - door tax i believe will be your standard 3 and doors at the standard 7.30pm.

    the underkills on myspace music - free streaming mp3s, pictures & music downloads

    this is on friday woop!

  7. Ok we now have the tickets for this. And the good news they're only 2 from us. So there's no excuse not to come.

    PM one of us on here, or get in contact on myspace

    BUMP......

    what a steal!!! they might not be the most famous of touring bands to have come to aberdeen, but I can't stress enough how good they are.

    Well thats my opinion anyway, I advise you all to come down!
