Sometimes it's good to go to something not having heard it before.To be honest I was a bit worried they'd end just being a bit too nu-metal or whatever the f*ck the genre is called nowadays. Going on the Moshulu booking policy I had my lingering doubts (apologies if I'm generalising here but I've not seen a gig yet here that i've been remotely interested in seeing). I'm pretty sure i'll be going though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Moshulu does not have a bookings policy.Fortunately.To date no "Nu-Metal" bands have played Moshulu.Like I said, I was generalising & my tongue was firmly in my cheek as I wrote that. I don't read Kerrang! or Metal Hammer so I haven't a clue what half of these bands classify themselves as. In fact, the laughable sub-genrefication of Metal would provide an interesting thread some time. I was merely commentating of what I see as the sort of bands that play moshulu - fairly limited in their scope, I'd say as most seem to be of the standard drums, guitar, bass,vocals variety & there doesn't seem to be much in the way of hip hop, electronic, avant garde or tibetian folk music for that matter.Still, nothing wrong with that - it's a business & it needs to attract a crowd.

The Lemon Tree seems to be more diverse overall. At the end of the day, I've got to concede that Moshulu's gigs are a million times better than anything appearing at 90% of the venues in town. I'd just be happier to see more diverse & varied acts - maybe that's down to personal preferences on my part though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I`d prefer a more varied lineup also but sadly people need to be paid and live music really doesn`t make a venue a lot of money. You can loose a shit load of cash in only a few days. The Lemon Tree's lineups are very varied but they did loose 180,000 or so the other year.Also... we are in ABERDEEN... a small fishing town situated a million miles from anywhere. It costs bands a fair bit extra to travel when part of a large scale production etc so you have to pay through the nose for them. And then you have the smaller population and narrower geral music taste to contend with. Some people would argue that it isn`t really worth it in the end.

However, to spend a lot of money on a band like Europe then only get 200-odd people through the door& charge them through the nose for the "honour" seems to fly in the face of your point somewhat. Surely there are touring bands out there that would get more people than this? Personally, I think the further that these superannuated 80s hair metallers & their ilk stay from Aberdeen then the better. I'm not sure if the "small fishing town" argument is valid or not - we are resident in the third most populated city in Scotland after all. The answer to this is to put on bands that would attract people from Inverness, Dundee & all points in between. The question is how do we achieve this? I'd hate to think that apathy gets the better of us all, though. There wil always be people who think it isn't worth it but surely venues & promoters need to try. If it wasn't for them then no bands would be here at all & I've got to thank you at least for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 My next tatoo:"BOOKING AGENTS SET THE TICKET PRICE FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF SHOWS NOT THE PROMOTERS!"Does the venue have any say on this at all? Do you have to provide set fees for the artist? Seriously, 18 quid for EUROPE!!!!!! What were you thinking??????I'm liking this thread - it's proving to be quite enlightening.
