  1. Was a good gig, really enjoyed Japanese Voyeurs and Crooked Little Vein, missed the bulk of the first bands set by the time I got there.

    The first band (Wetflex) were really entertaining. I'm definitely intrigued by Crooked Little Vein. I think they were plagued with problems on the guitar but I admire bands who battle through. I'm quite looking forward to seeing them again as they sound like they have a load of potential.

  2. With the few gigs I've promoted I have never let a girlfriend in for free for any local support because the we organised things, the bands were usually making a good bit of cash off the tickets they sold. Headlining bands I don't think should be coming in on the night and asking for x number of guestlist passes without organising it before hand but if the guys are cool about it I usually dont mind. It is quite annoying though, this girlfriend issue that has been pointed out. I stop every one at the door to pay because if people dont even have the courtesy to ask, then why should we be out of pocket for a girlfriend who quite often leaves after said boyfriends set ends?

    I'm a bit hypocritical though as I tend to be on a lot of guestlists to review the shows for my website, but I always try my best to give shout outs to the promoter and advertise the gig as much as possible. Again, if the promoter was out of pocket come the end of the night I'd be more than happy to pay the costs of a ticket.

  3. Ben,

    Sent you a PM. I just realised you are Ben. For some reason thought I was messaging Kirk from Escape To Victory. Haha.

    Yes, would you be willing to have a wee interview in a quiet place before the gig? Trying to get a new feature started with the best of Aberdeen local music. I just need to find the time man. PM me, I couldnt PM you as your inbox is full. Clean that shit up!
