Cloud Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Gone2Far? Are you fucking kidding me? Isn't this supposed to be an industry showcase?I find it amusing that GoNorth has ignored Jo McCafferty yet again, though.Edit : Maybe I should organise a festival.double edit : why not get My Downfall instead of Gone 2 Far? At least My Downfall have the makings of some catchy tunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least My Downfall have the makings of some catchy tunes We were told we needed a demo was the problem, which we didn't have.In fairness, Gone 2 Far are considerably improved since you last wrote them off.Cloud, we ain't interchangeable Thanks though.

I didnt expect Baby Karma to get in, but I figured Jo had to be given a shot this year given what she's been achieving, but then thats just life I guess. They keep shouting for Aberdeen acts to enter, well I think it's very unlikely we'll bother next year, I think 4 years of being told no is more than enough.

[/quote']It's illogical to me, Jo has what..four full length albums, with a fifth live one on the way - yet gets looked over for bands who have done nothing? How on *earth* does that work?In all seriousness, I don't think GoNorth is about how talented you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go out there and work to do something then you shouldnt be given a chance to have the a&r showcase because you've worked hard ? Maybe take MMw off the bill too then because they're a hard working band who have worked to move forward. One of the reasons to work this hard is that you'll be considered for things like this that might take your career onto the next level.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably nothing.As it stands, one of the most happening people in Aberdeen, who is currently touring all over the UK has been ignored for a band who are most definitely not happening.

Afro Droid Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 so gone too far are "making waves" are they in Aberdeen at the moment?What a load of bullshit.I'm inclined to agree, two bands from Aberdeen playing (plus Gone2Far in the youth category) seems a bit rich after the "why haven't any Aberdeen bands submitted demos?!" hoo-ha. The answer? There's no point! Kudos to the Weapon and Le Reno Amps, but they (especially the Amps) are really predictable choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
