Hi folks Communicator are coming up to Aberdeen on the 21st of March to play the Tunnels but have been offered a gig in The Gas Lamp on the 20th March. We are looking for a local band(s) to do the gig with us. Set wise we are being given 4 hours to fill but could split that 2hours each or maybe add another band on. Any cover/original bands out there who would like a gig please get in touch. communicator@live.co.uk We are also going to need p/a hire and to share a drum kit if possible. Thanks all.

I agree to a point, made the round trip to London and back a few years ago which ended up a waste of time. Played to three people and a dog. Our mistake wasnt going down there, it was that we were disheartened by it, didnt put on a show. Amazingly the three people were impressed but we had nothing to sell to ensure the next time we went back those three people would be there again, but with their mates. (hopefully!) So we failed to capitalise on the situation. Didn't even buy a bone for the dog so at least he would be back the next time we played. Never played Dirty Martini's, played some other dive in Kilmarnock years ago, not even sure its still there. But earthing problems don't sound good !! "Gig Lots, but Gig Well" - that's a good philosophy to have.

Thanks guys, appreciate your help. Fish out of Water, we didnt realise thats how it works with Fudge so apologise to them for being arsey ourselves. I have played Drummonds many times in previous bands and but have noticed its not as easy as it was to get gigs there now. Re: Myspace and gigs, fair point about the no. of views but I can assure you our fan base stretches outside our circle of friends. The gigs at Rockers have both been as support to touring bands one called Mammal from Australia and the upcoming gig will be with Starseed from London. Both ace bands, I recommend you check them out. We just turned down the opportunity to headline the Classic Grand in December to support Logan at the Garage. Which has helped raise our profile hence the reason behind wanting to tour to play to more people outside our circle of friends and raise the number of views on our myspace. Its Catch 22, you need the gigs to be heard by people who will then hopefully check out your myspace. I have long since given up being snobby about where and to how many people we play, as long as we are playing live. We are booking a night in Nice and Sleazy's in August, it will be a Saturday if anyone would be interested in playing? Get in touch and let us know. Thanks again. Communicator

Hey guys, we are a Glasgow rock band called Communicator who are looking to tour this year and would like to add Aberdeen into our list of dates. We had been trying to arrange a date at the Moorings but Fudge Promotions who have got all the available dates do not seem to want us to play in Aberdeen.... can anyone tell me what the script is with them ?? Do they not like out of town bands ?? (technically we are a quarter Aberdeen band as the singer is from Aberdeen) they told us at first that all the dates they have are for touring bands and when we confirmed we were a touring band they told us that actually all the dates are for local bands ?? If they don't like us they could at least have the balls to say but arsing us about is pathetic. Can anyone recommend any other Aberdeen promoters ? We would like to get up and play our singers hometown soon.
