Not sure if this is the right category but does anyone have a list of open mic nights held in Aberdeen at the moment.. Days , times etc?

Thanks in advance

Hi , any of you guys know where there are regular open mic nights, places, times etc?

Cheers

Being nostalgic and listening to The Pale Saints.. Beautiful shoegaze pop music.. Half life remembered.. What a tune

Also aren't Wire just fantastic.. Especially this old single

The Keene Brothers .. Blues and Boogie shoes album... Revisited this and it still sounds superb to me.. Robert Pollard and Tommy Keene together ...The song Death of the party gets me every time.. Beautiful

Listen to A Different Girl by The Vapour Trails #np on #SoundCloud

the recordings are far from perfect but quite lo fi and a bit retro

My 15 year old son and I recorded a bunch of demos.. Rough recordings on garageband.. Mainly jangly pop stuff..He is looking for a band at the moment, he the recorded a vast amount of the guitars. Some feedback plus a band for him would be gd haha

First gig in Aberdeen (not ever, though), pretty sure was Mick Jones's (of The Clash fame) band (which Wiki tells me must've been Carbon/Silicon) at the Lemon Tree in late 2004, maybe 2005. Small crowd, pretty cool; though people kept calling for Clash songs, especially Train in Vain, which got irritating as it became clear they weren't going to do any Clash stuff (apparently they broke into an impromptu Clash riff during a jam-y part of one of their own tracks, which I didn't catch). The Needles opened, so that was the first band I actually saw.

Played alongside the needles with our band many a time in the 90s.. They were more 50s than the 50s at times. Cool band

First and,  to date, last time I've seen Radiohead. I was right at the front,  right in front of Thom Yorke. Great gig. 

I was at that gig.. Teenage fanclub had just released songs from northern Britain.. They have supported some incredible bands haha

Teenage fanclub 1991 @ the palace ..another early one was The verve supporting  main act ride 1992 at the capitol

Recent reads -

"Eric" - Terry Pratchett. Like most of Pratchett's stuff, I enjoyed the fuck out of this while reading it then a week later couldn't remember a thing about it. Srlsy. It's been like 2 months now and I can't even remember who Eric is. 

The Last Day Of Disco - David F Ross. A confused shit show of a book that can't decide if it's going to be funny or serious. Stock characters and a thin plot.

Rose Madder - Stephen King. Yes! 

Revival - Stephen King. YES! 

Under The Dome - Stephen King. YEEEESSSS! 

Actually still reading the last one. It's gargantuan. Trying to make this the year I finally 'complete' Stephen King. This is the 47th Stephen King book I've read. That's not bad going. 

Not many Stephen king books I don't like.. The only thing that  bugs me is that some of the books have been made into god awful movies with abysmal acting.. There are a few exceptions but most of the movies are rot

Revisiting Iain banks books.. The Wasp Factory in particular is very sinister

• Listening to lots of shoegaze at the moment.. Ride , mbv, pale saints etc etc..remember seeing Ride in 1992 at the capitol theatre of all places. The Verve supporting them on the night. Ah the memories!!

Advice is only good pre purchase. If the lad has bought the power supply already you are just telling him he has bought a pile of horseshit. I agree with col.. If the supply is isolated it should be ok.. If its a gd one and you have more than 5 pedals buy another at that price.. Look at lots of online reviews in future and guage the general consensus. . sometimes  you do get what you pay for but at times companies live off their name and charge too much money for ptoducts

1. He has found a compressor.. Still after a power brick

My son is looking for a decent 2nd hand guitar compressor , boss,mxr,ehx etc..Let me know if you have anything suitable

He is also after a 2nd hand power brick that has up to 8 9v outputs..

Brian Wilson = genius

Mike Love = asshole singer

There is no real choice to make if you can only see one act..
