pet peeve: Enter Shikari. 

sounds like Royal Mail did you a favour, ENter Shikari are gash.

I must admit, I had to leave Shrek 3 early when I went to see it at the picters.

it was truly shite. can't blame folk for getting bored in the backseats to be honest. Can't think of a more unsexy film though

That's a whole other pet hate. If I owned a cinema I'd lock the doors as soon as the lights went down. No fucking refunds if you miss the start either. 

I worked in a cinema for a while, Have never set foot in one since. when you find a puddle of jizz after a showing of Shrek 3 you kinda get put off.

stumbled upon this band this morning, I dig it

I always feel like Every Time I Die are a band I should be well into and I can't put my finger on what it is that's stopping them from clicking with me.

First ever gig was Fenix TX at Northumbria Uni in '02.

ETID have roughly 2 good songs per album. pretty good live but a bit meh otherwise

Unfortunately not, I'm darn sarf now.

No plans to put it all up on Bandcamp for a few quid? If not, I'd be up for Paypalling a few quid your way for a digital copy (save on postage, and I also don't have a CD player anymore!)

awesome thanks for that man! It's currently uploading as we speak! don't know why we never thought to put the whole thing up tbh.. Cheers!

Where could one get the full EP in digital format?

Track is good! Riffs are cool, great production, not crazy about the vocals on first listen, but I'd like to hear it context with whole EP.

Are you aberdeen local? I can get a hard copy to you

we just released out EP - FOUL PLAY

Track 1 - Chuggernaut is up on Bandcamp - https://dirtytrick.bandcamp.com/

some feedback would be appreciated, cheers!

Perhaps the bands should contend in some form of battle to earn a spot?

and a battle to compete for a spot to battle for the spot!

You build a reputation at smaller venues, less high profile shows and progress from there. I'm not saying anything ridiculous, surely? All I'm saying is you don't get a show supporting Public Service Broadcasting unless you've put in the time, effort and graft to promote yourself, show yourself off and demonstrate that you're good enough and capable for a promoter to offer you a high profile support slot.

Combined with recorded output, of course.

that's a fair statement, but what you said originally was 'any support slot at any venue' which is a rediculous statement. but yeah, I agree with your expanded explanation haha

Sorry, what I meant by it not being a charitable cause was essentially that bands shouldn't be pandered to regardless of their ability/quality, just because they're keen. In short - you should be good enough before you should be considered for a slot at this festival or any support slot at any venue.

Rider/equipment transport is a negligible cost. Why should local support acts not benefit from a rider if out of town bands do? I can all but guarantee that the out of town support acts booked for these shows will not get any more of a rider than a standard Lemon Tree support rider offered to any local band that plays a similar slot. Plus APA isn't paying for out-of-town acts to get to the venue so equipment transport cost isn't even really a thing (unless I've misunderstood what you mean?).

Basically, I'm not disagreeing with your fundamental point that preference should be given to local acts as support for a festival like this. I just don't think there are enough (any?) relevant and active quality local acts to fill the spaces.

How does one accomplish that if they never get a gig to gauge their great/shite-ness?

AGFW went on holiday then worked out of office for like 3 weeks. Things were nice adn quiet and mellow and peopkle got in with work. AGFW is back now...and can't let the office just be silent for 2 minutes. Constantly feels the need to talk. About anything, but mainly mundane, inane shite.

tell her shite dad jokes till she fucks off

Game Of Thrones has been back and for two weeks running they've intercut disgusting stuff with food. I no longer eat soup or pies. 

Also, the guy that plays Hot Pie has started an online bakery called "You Know Nothing Jon Dough", which is only slightly cooler than Hodor's Rave of Thrones.

the cutaway from Jorah's scabby tar tit to the pie crust was phenomenal

Watched John Wick 2 last night, was really impressed by the camera work more than anything else, Filming a gunfight through a house of mirrors without catching a single camera man or drones reflection is no easy feat

in the end, it doesn't even matter

which hotel bud? and do you have a backline etc?

there are loads of acoustic night in town, I don't know the legality of having someone as young as you in the venues though? I'd suggest you contact Siberia or the Wig on facebook and they can probably give you some advice

the term/word 'millennials' its wank.
