slippy Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Dont really go and see local bands playing but heard some good reports on the local band Stranded and was wandering if anyone has seen them and if they are worth seeing. Only band Ive seen is Tigerfin (think they are split now) who were pretty good. I know one of thier guitarists.Also heard of the Wildcards and was wandering if they are any good.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slippy Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Trust me Im not a member of Stranded. Sorry for speaking. Was just asking about some local bands Id heard people talking about. I havent heard them but heard they won a Battle of the Bands to play at the Union St Hogmany Bash so they cant be that bad. With regards to Wildcards I take it they're not that great according to 'bestink's response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Stranded are one of the worst bands I've evr seen, made worse by having the worst fans of any band I've ever seen. Stranded are a very bl;and indie band, nothing unusual who have a rebtacrowd with them at every gig and the crowd is so bad they wont get booked by certain venues in Aberdeen based purely on the crowd, thats all you need to know about them. They willl never get anywhere outside of Aberdeen because of the fact that the fans ruin the gig for any casual observers, interstingly always makes is strange to me that a band with such a 'loyal' following as stranded don't or at least didnt have a website, how do the fans seem to know to turn up to gigs in such droves unless they're mates with the band.Never seen the Wildcards so cant comment.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to Wildcards I take it they're not that great according to 'bestink's response.They won the battle of the bands by bringing the most mates, in fact in the first heat they were the worst band and at least one of the acts had nothing negative said about them, whereas Stranded did, however that act was not what they were looking for and didnt bring enough rentacrowd mates.I would never put on a gig with stranded or allow anyone i manage to be anywhere near one of their gigs because of their fans who spent the whole night of the BOTB slagging off the other bands when they played live and trying to put them off, showing no respect for the other acts.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Thanks for the info it is just a straight forward gig.

Flash@TMB Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Stranded are a decent band and I like them, they guys in the band are all very nice people. They played us exactly 1 year ago......BUT their crowd were a fuckin nightmare, so sadly life is too short to invite them back. They really need to sort that out.

Bodast Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Tigerfin split up? Alas I liked them... I got them to sign a setlist and one of the signatures appears to be written in Arabic.How did the gig go? I hope the support bands got out intact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
