rune Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Why is it that alot of the bigger name bands that goto glasgow/edinburgh never come to aberdeen? I think the exhibition centre should be doing alot more for aberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.M Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Haven't you asked this before? And haven't you already expressed your thoughts on the matter in several other threads?Or am I just crazy?Never mind, I think it's down to crowd sizes. Although there may be a decent band following in Aberdeen, we can't match to the numbers that the central belt can, even when taking into consideration the contents of the shire, etc.Meh, who cares anyway? There's nothing like blowing your cash on a two day trip down to glasgow to see your favourite bands. Especially if you happen to be me, and that favourite band was Pig Destroyer. Ah, that was fun.

Didz Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Im sure it was Ross that said something about the cost of taking the whole show all the way up to Aberdeen from Glasgow and then back down to where ever or vice-versa. Plus the fact the majority of bands struggle to sell out the AECC, even Radiohead tickets were still on sale the day of the gig. If you look down south the big venues in Birmingham, Manchester, London etc aren't really all that far away from each other and demands greater. Something along those lines.

Daniel Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 big british bands do come to aberdeen, in the last year i have noticed a big rise in the amount of big acts coming to aberdeen but when american bands come over they might only have a 1 week window to tour the uk, so it makes sense to play the bigger city/venues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to see Converge in Dundee a year ago and it was a far fucking better gig than anything which could have been put on up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingin' Ryan Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I think Aberdeen does OK, given it's remoteness in relation to other places in Britain. I mean I saw Public Enemy at the Music Hall of all places, last year which completely beggared belief. The Lemon Tree's had some pretty big names aswell when you consider the size of it.Saying that, someone should do something about getting The Cramps up here, looking at some of the venues on their current tour, I don't think they'd be above playing the Lemon Tree.

Do you get a kick out of being a pedantic arse on these boards, or it is just that you have a bit of a problem with the pathways which link your fingers to your brain?
