Think shellac, oxes and rabid shouting and hollering. http://wsah.jetcow.com Small Enclosed Area Elgin/Aberdeens finest return to Audio Dropouts at Stereo to ply a brand new set, full of some of the fattest guitar sounds around. Their direction is similar to Pelican meets Explosions in the Sky. www.smallenclosedarea.com Morse Code is for Amatuers First Glasgow show from noisy two piece band from Glasgow. Pounding drums and ugly, fat, loud guitars in the vein of Part Chimp, Macrocosmica and Shellac. No website. Deadloss (Motherfucking) Superstar Aberdeen Punk n whisky n roll roll chaos, for fans of fu manchu, faith no more, helmet etc I also hear they will be bringing a cello (!?) player http://www.deadlosssuperstar.co.uk Pedro djs spinning the vibes Doors at 8pm, 4, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Good luck to all, Abdominal Showmen are quite good as well, they played with us last year. Does anyone know if they have a quota for each show to go through, or if its just the 'best' bands overall from the 48? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Ok, here is how the final 12 were decided last year, and possibly the same method was used the year before too. According to a judge we spoke to last year, each band is graded out of 10, for different criteria. I can't quite remember all of them, but these will be most of them.Overall Musical AbilityStrength of Melody (vocal and instrumental)On stage Performance (tightness + playing to the crowd etc)Originality (how this can be marked i've no idea)#There were more but they escape me just now.Then what happens is that each judge (usually there are 3 at each heat) give their scores to Sarah Holland or one of the T-Break Organisers, who add up each bands totals from the judges, and the top 12 out the 58 or so bands that played T-Break get in to T in The Park.Take from that what you will, as no doubt you will hear the annual stories from people saying "The bands to play T in the Park have already been decided, before any of the heats have taken place". Even if they have, who cares. You get to play a gig in Edinburgh or Glasgow, in a venue you never usually get the chance to play in, to people in the industry who would never normally see you, to a potential fanbase who will have never heard you, with bands who you would never have met before. Its a good experience, no matter what the end result, enjoy yourselves and have an almighty piss-up after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
