Toxic Distortion

7.30pm

TICKETS 10 IN ADVANCE FROM ONE UP

but i remember when toxic d did that, they had their page plastered with seemingly fictional dates in the US, with no actual dates confirmed. Theres a big difference between doing that to big yourself up, and simply putting down future plans, just for example in my bands case, to 1. let promoters see what dates are available incase the date we go after is not available, but incase they are keen to book us, and 2 to let people know what we are planning to do in the future. and i think the later is especially important so as people don't forget about your band if your having a quiet period.

I'm really sorry but HAHAHA, theres a difference between being a cunt and not being a cunt. The discussion about these apparantly fake US dates and a HUGEEEEEE tour we also apparantly had planned have been discussed over and over, i think everyones slightly bored...

also its clearly been stated this is not about us so... point? general discussion and all but even im bored of discussing my own band!

and also i dont think you can comment on 'bigging yourself up' as Marionettes have only done 1 tour with like 4 or 5 dates? so your post there makes you sound like your a well established full time touring band when your not? but fair enough you have another one planned and atleast your getting out there.

anyway I'd say this thread is directed at Saikano or Ramsey.

Totally! At the end of the day they were only on here promoting their gig. Oh shit maybe they paid for that too.........? I haven't been around long enough to understand where all this aggro comes from towards TD, but something has definately crawled up Fraser Mac's arse!

haha exactly we only wanted to spread the word about the gig, anyone coming?

Look bellow the

I'm not blind....

that's what that whole reply was about.

I Hope this isnt in reference to my band? i think you'll find glass wolves havnt played any Deenfest shows, So Far our shows have come from, inkster, glasgow live events, SITL Booking, IBL Touring and booking, Mosh Against Cancer, dhanni G and alliance promotions.

and even if we had,people hearing your music and not hating is hadly somthing to refrain from,

why "" ?

the roxy or paying to play is still not mentioned in any of those quotes.....

if we get gigs at the whisky it will obviously be presale as you need to buy tickets from them to sell. so whats the big deal? we are hardly driving about town with a megaphone ontop of a van shouting FUCK YOU WE MIGHT BE PLAYING L.A. WAYYYYYYYY so you must have the problem with it not us? if you keep banging on about it doesnt that make you sound abit jealous? "jealous why would i be jealous of you little wankers bla bla bla" yeah yeah yeah exactly why would you be.

its something we are doing for ourselves so i cant really see your problem with thinking us going on holiday and playing a few gigs is making us have big egos but whatever you've just turned into one of those people who seems to know more about the band than the band themselves so congratulations:up:

I'd just like to say in reply to what frasers just said aswell, we do not have big ego's......

This big bad rep that we seem to have everywhere we go in Aberdeen is based on what people have heard about us - complete shite.

We arn't horrible bastards with huge ego's, that has came about through people thinking we walk with a huge swagger going FUCKIN COME ON ENNNN well no that just doesnt happen, its because you get the odd person who will go HAHA CHECK YOU or a sly evil look from somebody. and i can say now all we do is brush it off or question the person about it - simply....what is your problem? we dont run over with a spade and dig their grave.

the fact we know how to stand up for ourselves and question peoples opinions doesnt mean we think we are gods gift. Personally i tend to ask people what their problem is because they will slag off the band or myself when their band isnt exactly doing much better just because they play week in week out on a deenfest show(which they get because they are friends with steve and popular so will pull a crowd not because their band is shit hot) doesnt mean they are better than us, also the fact most of the people are adults.

also adding to the shit that gets made up theres a perfect example a few posts above...."paying onto shows at the roxy" WHAT THE FUCK? we havn't even asked the roxy for a show? we dont pay onto shows? alot of people seem to think we are rich kids and pay our way on to everything this is also not true. If some people maybe looked into things more accuratly, the fact we were organsing shows in L.A. doesnt say WE ARE PAYING OUR WAY IN. MOST venues are pay to play over there because of their high profile, every band that plays a gig in the roxy or whisky are paying for it, they are presale venues.

and in reply to what fraser allan said in your car..

rule number one - fraser speaks bullshit 9/10 times you will speak to him.

he recently swore on his life he got his cock pierced and went insane at us for telling him he was bullshiting "YOU NEVER FUCKING BELIEVE ANYTHING I SAY WHATS THE POINT IN THIS"

later we received a text saying "aye im joking haha" so there you go.

this reply isnt offensive incase somebody wants to pull it off like it is, its simply the band themselves telling you what is right and wrong.

by the way...... who are you n8r?

With no drummer?

How Punk Rock. Fuck Rhythm

Joe - vocals/bass

Massie - guitar

Jonny - drums

I would love to play the wiskey. a giant pay to play venue. which is what you guys seem to specialise in,

good to see commitment, shame this tour isnt happening,

im sure every date would have sold out. any way, stick to it, Fight the power!

well the 'tour' isnt happening and never was.....

but we are still playing a few shows in L.A. as a 3 piece.

last time i was on your sweet page, there was a rather fine selections of "US TOUR - VENUE TBC"'s on your page.

So, Last Time I Checked, You Did.

It wasn't a US tour.....

it was a couple of gigs in New York and L.A. for when we are there in August.

I'll happily give you the whiskys and knitting factorys number if you want to check if we are lying?

or you can just ask Fraser, even tho hes just cancelled for his tour hes apparantly doing with Dead End.

No, instead you pretend to be late 80's hard rock. and pretend to have tours booked.

we dont pretend to be that? your just looking at us and comparing us to an 80's sterotype. you cant pretend to be music, whatever you play and whatever you sing is what your sound is. Your singer puts on a scream its not his actual voice, therefore you fit into a genre. I dont think we really fit into one other than rock or shite to many of people, or 80s glam wanker poofs if your going to judge on the clothes we wear.

we have tours booked? last time i checked we didnt.

I'm sure you could. Towers of London don't have Runcie at hand for every show they play.

how original.......

are you still in and out of 20 failed bands a month sitting on aberdeen music trying to be popular?

atleast Runcie has a life....

The funny thing is, Runcie has more talent that the whole of your band put together,

And thats somthing that mummy cant buy you.

welll atleast we dont need to pretend we are dinosaurs to hide the fact we are utter shite.

but atleast mummy can buy you a Jurassic Park DVD eh?

We love you runcie! Don't suppose you are working this gig? We just simply couldn't do it without your superb skills.

To clear this up (not that anyone cares) I mean a night off work at Drummonds so I dont have to suffer rather than "Holy fuck - I must be off work so I CAN go to Drummonds"

Rarely would two bands rile me so much!

hahahahahahahahahahaha "not that anyone cares" why write it then?

dont suppose you're our favourite sound engineer are you?

Toxic Distortion

Live at Drummonds, Saturday 30th May.

Im sure we will see all you lovers and haters there!

I think this is the only thread left about you. So, no more old threads to dig up. Let it die. Problem solved.

i know, theres only a few random ones with sly digs at us left but whatever. its over.

Nope.

But in all honesty, you should just leave it. The last thread got to 10 pages then locked, this thread had almost died, but you dug it back up.

I'm gonna come to your next gig.

yeah i know but once 2 threads have been constantly commented on with abuse then they get locked, then somebody starts slagging us off on an old thread, you cant really just expect us to just sit back and take it. we had to say something even if it was pointless.

I gave you some reputation. I think people have got you all wrong. What a bunch of arseholes these people are.

are you taking the piss?

Be careful what you wish for son, because I very much doubt you can back up all this pseudo-hardman shit in the real world.

Just stop throwing teeny bitch-fits when folk have a dig, it only carries on for as long as they get a reaction out of you. Ignore it and it'll stop.

I'll be more than happy to say that to your face as well, feel free to try to treat me like absolute shit...

well in the last thread we got to about 10 pages before we said anything so....ignoring it doesnt really make that much of a difference, but it does make sense.

and what we said there was a personal dig at him as we know who he is and he constantly speaks shit about us for no reason but seems to think what he says is true and actually did happen....when its clearly exaggerated.

its nothing really to do with people leaving you alone...

you speak utter shite...and talk like a big hard man. People laugh at you...you are making the rest of your band come across like wankers...you are not as punk rock as you think you are

a big hard man? not really no, everything i said in that comment was taking the piss out of what people have said in the past 3 threads we have had on this website. everything im saying is what we all think anyway, and everyone already seems to think we are a bunch of wankers anyway so whatever.

"your not as punk rock as you think you are" - who the fuck said we are trying to be punk rock? you are just thinking its some kind of front we put on to be mental - just like what everyone else thinks. well done.

Jesus...stop making yourself look like a tool on a message board.

whos giving a shit like? everyone thinks we look like 'tools' already, everything we say just gets laughed at or twisted into something completley different. its not our problem people cant leave us alone, if we dont say something or rip the piss out of what people have said then its just going to get boring.

You realise the only reason I personally have anything against you is because your fat then drummer and another member were taunting us when we were onstage, and it was our 2nd ever show?

Oh yeah and you wouldn't shake hands, you "dont do hand shakes, you do high fives"

Oh, and you ate up a stupid amount of time in soundcheck.

The only remotely sound guy was your bassist. That seems to be the general consensus from everyone I've spoken to regarding your band.

A lot of people have somethng against you for the reason you dress or the fact you are desperately trying to be an already really shit band (Towers of London), which I disagree with. But a bit of constructive advice-you don't help the cause by going about treating other bands like absolute shit, when you have achieved nothing yourselves.

HAHAHAHA none of us seem to remember 'taunting' you as we only watched about 10 seconds of a song and left because we were bored of standing watching a two man band in an empty room.

"treating other bands like absolute shit" - that is abit far, we didnt do anything to you. but you can come say all of this to our face sometime then we can show you what treating you like absolute shit is?

its really funny how none of you even know us but just judge us on what other people say. but whatever we dont really care because we are towers of london and we are pretty much mental eh, we are off to go do some drugs then fuck some bitches then batter some people for a laugh coz we are fake towers of london wannabes.

oh no wait i forgot we are 14? or is it 13? oh shit i forgot we havnt even started puberty oh no fucks sake, you guys seem to know more about us than we do ourselves. i might just take your advice and go get a haircut, start shopping in primark and join an indie band? =/

i might get a tuesday night gig at the tunnels out of that? but will anyone take notice of us then? nahhhh didnt think so.

gutted for you guys, we arnt going anywhere so just carry on speaking shit about us if you want.

i was sticking up for you!

we know, and thank you. its good to see their is some people who actually have a brain and a life to be honest. a life that doesnt revolve around local indie bands and sitting on this website slagging off 'kids' when they clearly cant do any better themselves.

and the guitarist is a boy.

Ah shit, thats your only excuse gone.

ah shit, how about you go tape your hand to your face again?

Okay, we are not kicking off another fucking fuss again because its ridiculous. we havnt even done anything and people are still going on about us.

we just wanted to clear one thing up, we arnt 14 or 15 anymore.....we are all almost 17 and our new guitarist is 19 so the whole puberty/kid thing is slightly boring now.
