psydoll Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Last time Format & Abdominal visited Aberdeen there weren't that many people there and myself and Rob drunkenly danced all over the Lemon Tree with about 50-80 other people at the most methinks.This time round however there were loads of people there! Whether Little Barrie supporting had something to do with that or not I don't know but they were a great support act. Sort of like a more soulful version of the current crop of indieish Libertines clones but even that sort of detracts from a set of good musicianship and enthusiasm.Format [ably supported not only by Abdominal but D-Sisive this time round] was amazing. Greatly impressed with Format's scratching ability and the generally excellent vibe that permeated the venue and most importantly the stage. D-Sisive isn't as good a rapper as I had hoped, especially his freestyles but he was a good backup rapper for the ever-impressive Abdominal. Feel-good hip hop was the order of the night and I enjoyed myself ridiculously. Good on Lemon Tree for booking them again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamilleY Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 You'd be sweaty too if you could get 8 bars of rap out in one breath! I had a great time, and the atmosphere on the dance floor was good. Went to see Roots on Wednesday and the bad vibes were palpable.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingsinatra Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 saw format and co. in edinburgh two nights ago and they were brilliant, after the set format DJ'd for 45 minutes without one pause between songs, D-cisive was surprisingly good, he kinda looked like a fat geeky eminem but he had a good voice and prescence, Abdominal as always was utterly amazing and fucking funny, dunno about the aberdeen gig, but they went down a treat in edinburgh.
