Not that I'd buy it cos I could probably get something better for round about the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Blastcap Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 i too like the tunnells, its groovy. mind you, it had to be explained to me twice why i couldnt get a mobile recption in there. i think Aberdeen needs more bands like My Minds Weapon, there's to much art rock on the go and it gets dull.

Flash@TMB Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Drakes was sooooo essential I doubt a lot of bands in town would even exist without it.... it was the only place to play (or that you could play) for a long time *salutes* I second that. In my opinion the council should devote a small portion of their Lemon Tree budget to funding Dr Drakes' date=' and offer to pay the people that ran Dr Drakes a decent wage to manage it for them......which is my point really, the whole quality of musical culture in the deen revolves around and pretty much depends on its live venues *cough* (I almost said 'scene')....otherwise bands ands promoters are kinda fuckedRight now the *cough* culture is in a very fortunate position in that virtually all the local venues - Lemon Tree, Blue Lamp, Drummonds, Tunnels, Moshulu, Malt Mill, Kef, Snafu, and Moorings - are independent. Thus no pay for play and very preferential terms for promoters. That could so easily start to change and, unlike what happened with Drakes, let's all realise that would be a bad thing BEFORE it happens.

Guest bluesxman Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I've only been coming on here a few months, my first observation was how snide people seem to be towards each others bands and efforts. Maybe some of it is in a joking way but some seems pretty serious. Surely a supportive culture between bands would be better to establish a thriving music scene in Aberdeen. Different styles of music do not have to be excluded from each other if an open mind is adopted.Some of the best gigs I have been to have featured support bands who were completely different in style to the headline act but turned out to be great. I went to see Therapy? at the Barrowlands many moons ago, one of the supports was Credit To The Nation, who I expected to hate as a novelty rap act who stole the riff from ...Teen Spirit but brought the house down.

As much as I hate Battle of the Bands competitions they do serve a useful purpose, which is the same as pay to play but without the pay.

See this list is so long now it's virtually impossible to commit to memory. So yes this city does have much to be proud of. Unfortunately we also have Chicago Rock, Liquid, and Tiger Tiger...

Unfortunately we also have Chicago Rock' date=' Liquid, and Tiger Tiger...[/quote']Since the demise of Drakes and the reintroduction of myself to my 'LIFE' I have become a regular visitor to above latter named venues and I find them extremely pleasing. Especaily in the ares of originality and a unique thought process!!!! I can't see at all how they could have impacted on a city's culture and the Council in there infinite wisdom should allow as many of these places to open as possibel. I especially praise the move toward yet another chain venue/club on Belmont Street right next to Drummonds. Surely there aren't enough of these places in said area?I will now go a throw myself down the stairs at work directly on my head!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
