  1. I really like the video - the only think that jars with me is Mike's lip syncing is a little off. But that's just the pedant in me. Overall the video looks ace though. Did you guys just film it yourself or was it done with a 3rd party?

    The song is pretty good, too. Not my usual cup of tea, but I really enjoyed it.

    Cheers, we had many discussions about the lip syncing! But I think at the end of the day it actually adds to the 'lost' look Mike has.

    It was done by Fraser Denholm, the man responsible for the 'Run Down Aberdeen' documentary and a lot of the UTG campaign, put a lot of effort in on our behalf so thumbs up to the man for the end product!

  2. We've run a number of shows in Peterhead over the last year under the 'Shmeet the Beat' banner, relatively sucessfully as well, with Minnaars (Leicester band played Reading and Leeds last year) headlining our last club night last month. Our next event will be the May Day Super SUnday, have 12 acts appearing in an all-day event in Mambos.

    I'm sure those who have played will testify that its a well run event with a fairly good vibe and decent turnout as well. Local acts who have appeared include: Stanley, Cast of the Capital, Steve Milne, In Atlanta, Free Korps, Velvet Audio.

  3. Yo folks

    We were down playing at Fence Homegame at the weekend and decided to record a new demo take with us since our winter recordings aren't quite ready for release yet.

    You can listen to it, called The Third (Incision) on our myspace for a while.

    Cheers to Iain at Bedford Records who helped us put this together in 4 pretty hazy evening sessions!

  4. Following 3 packed events last year, Shmeet the Beat, Peterhead's fast growing live music event are gearing up for their first live show of 2010. Headlining the gig, on Saturday March 6th at Mambo's Nightclub are one of Britain's most talked about new bands, Minnaars.

    Hailing from Leicester, Minnaars exploded onto the UK music scene last year with stomping sets at Reading and Leeds festivals and BBC Radio 1 have proclaimed them to be The hottest property to come out of Leicester since Kasabian. They've also become a big favourite with the music press, receiving regular plaudits and recognition from NME and even the star of television's Gavin and Stacey, Mathew Horne has picked them out to be the biggest new band of 2010, Last year was all about White Lies. My tip for this year is Minnaars.

    Event co-ordinator Scott Maskame said, We had a great reaction to the gigs we brought to the town last year and are looking to push on and get a regular thriving live music event in Peterhead. So far we've really concentrated on getting local bands to play as its something that we think is really worthwhile doing. This though is something really different. To get a band that have played such big festivals to come up and play alongside local bands in Mambo's is a great step forward and going to be a really great night.

    Shmeet the Beat are also moving forward with plans for more gigs this year and are delighted to announce a forthcoming appearance by Oasis' former manager, and founder of the famous Creation Records, Alan McGee. Co-organsier Dave Cherry added, Alan McGee has agreed to come up and take part in our May-day weekend event with a DJ set and the event will also feature a strong line up of both up and coming local acts, and more established bands from further afield.

    The March 6th bill also features Aberdeen band In Atlanta, before local favourites Velvet Audio take to the stage armed with new material and a forthcoming EP release. The first one hundred people through the doors will also be given an exclusive free download link for the EP. The night will finish with what is sure to be a fantastic bang with Peterhead's own WHACK! DJ's. Tickets are priced 3 and will be available on the night.

    ...I'm exhausted just listening... Jo Whiley, Radio 1.
