Thanks for the support man. Recording is on our to-do list, it's just organising a good time for everybody with a studio. Alternatively, I could just figure out how to use this Yamaha AW1600 digital multi-tracker right next to me.... Who knows?

Im fishing to see if anyone might have any decent gigs on offer for a new Aberdeen rock band in the vein of Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Brand New. We had our debut gig on the 18th of October at The Moorings Bar. We were given the headline slot. We had our own promotional material printed. We brought a crowd. For obvious reasons I can't accurately assess how good we were, but in the words of the promoter's missus, "To be honest I was secretly hoping you guys would be shit, but you weren't." Wow. You don't get praise more glowing than that do you? You do? Well boo to you. Well take a serious look at anything on offer; varied line-ups are fine and were always more than happy to take a part in promoting the night. (On an anecdotal note, after the last gig, James Allen turned up and tried to gatecrash our after-show party. With a few choice words the frontman of Glasvegas was turned away - and if that doesn't speak volumes for our musical credentials, nothing will.) Getting back on topic, if you think you have something that might suit us please get in touch. I'm thinking towards the middle or the end of November. PM Me. Thanks, ASFG

Thanks to everyone who came along and offered their support, it was much appreciated.

Oh, right, I just thought you were devil-me-care mavericks who didn't care who you booked.

Tonight, tonight!

But alcohol at the bar from much much earlier...

Thank you fudge for taking a risk on an unknown quantity such as ourselves...

Even in my wildest dreams I couldn't hope that our flyering would accomplish so much.

I agree Biz. I truly believe that anybody who has recently moved to the area would be interested in this gig, as well as people who have lived here all their lives, or even people who have stayed here for an intermediate period of time. I can say with complete confidence that this is the sort of gig you'd be interested in no matter how long you may have been residing at your current address. So bear in mind that the gig is on THIS Saturday @ The Moorings Bar.

At this moment we can neither confirm nor deny exactly who is in the band, but feel free to speculate.

Oh, I'd not heard about that.

We haven't played a gig yet so that's not the case.

I think it's a good name for a band.

The boys at Fudge posted this up in their forum. Since I'm ignorant I don't know if that naturally makes its way into the calendar. The long and short of it is that I'm making sure it does. So, in the words of Fudge... (take it away boys!)

The bad news is we can't tell you exactly who we are or what we're all about, because, well... it's a bit of a secret. Who we are isn't all that important. The question is where we're going, and once you get to know us, whether you'd like to come. Thats probably supposed to sound sinister. And it does. Whitesnake, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent: all three and more have been fortunate enough to share a stage with the main men behind German metallers Slicks Kitchen. Now theyre touring the UK with Enos and promising a fabulous live show. We suggest you hit Myspace for a dose of Cum In My Kitchen. The Invalids are making a swift return to the bar after their summer show. They play proggy sorta rock kinda stuff. Youll love them. Man Of The Future are a noisy two-piece. Thats all we know.

The refurb definitely helps it as a music venue.
