Jim Stax Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 That is most definately correct... My insider info has the Aberdeen Garage in the old Eskobar!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laura@TMB Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Ta for that. I've heard about the Eskobar rumour too (and also Po-na-na's however you spell it!)Whatever, and wherever, we should all find out soon as the next licensing board meeting is only a couple of weeks away...

Colin Barr, owner of the Republic Bier Halle and other style bars, was a partner in the original plan.MacLeod said: 'It was going to be a beer hall which we would run as a joint venture with Colin.'But he has decided to do other things and we will run it ourselves.'The accounts show that MacLeod, 42, and Pagliocca, 47, shared a dividend of 360,000, down from 540,000 the previous year.MacLeod expects the group will acquire an Englishvenue over the next year. He said the firm will build on their success in catering for the youth market.He explained: 'Our clubs in Glasgow are diverse and they each target a different musical market.'That's where our strength lies. We know our music and our clubs reflect that knowledge.'Lettuce are promoting the Download Festival on Glasgow Green in June, which will be headlined by Metallica.The company are also in talks with the city council about organising events over the next three years."

That surely can't be right. I'm thinking that it's just confusion with CPL trying to be mysterious by saying they were looking at various venues in Aberdeen and at the same time admitting they were looking to open eight new venues. The eight including the London and new Glasgow ventures....I would post more on my thoughts about CPL's effet on Aberdeen but I'm all teary eyed looking through my old pics from Ritzy's & RGU's Sloe Club...

Woolies Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Originally posted by Frosty Jack:Stick them up anyway, I might even be in there somewhere... uploaded a wee handful some of which may be of interest, (my pics really were just all drunken snapshots of good mates of mine from "back in the day"). I have a couple others somewhere that show upstairs of Ritzy/Bonkers from an engagement party I had there around the same time (Dec '92) :Spics are at http://gallery.aberdeen-music.com/showgallery.php?perpage=20&cat=3019Also checked the suvara website & am wondering if Flossie is the same Flossie from The Lorelei, they were damned fine band according to my slightly hazy memories...

Guest Laura@TMB Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Great photos Woolies!Thankfully I can't see myself in any of the Bonkers ones, but I would've been there, complete with dodgy permed hair, spray-on stretch black jeans, white baseball boots and denim/army shirt :O Flash says, you'd def know him as he was never out of the Sloe Club (except when he got barred for a year, for trying to get back in via the window) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I'm for it.As I pressume said new venue will have the contacts to book some bloody good bands. I'm praying it's not a larger version of KEF (I don't go to Kef, have no wish to go there again, and certainly wouldn't go to a bigger version). Maybe some regular clubnights? If it's a version of the Cathouse but in Aberdeen, i'd be a happy bunny. All this talk of the Palace though... that was before my time (I'm showing my age)... I've heard so many beautiful tales of The Palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although CPL also operates the Cathouse, both venues they are poles apart. The Garage is aimed at the type of student that loves Radio 1 if you catch my drift.The Garage in Glasgow does host live gigs, and those are of a more rock orientated nature, presumably because Kylie isn't available for bookings.If they announce an Aberdeen Cathouse it might be worth getting excited.The Palace wasn't that great. Rose tinted beer goggles help a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Doubt Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 so sugarcult at the garage on june 20th was a rock gig? i was there it was californian punk at it's best and as far as i know sugarcult hav never been on Radio FUCKIN 1!

MattJimF Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Bands that have recently played or will play the garage in glasgow, bloodhound gang, primal scream, ICP. Incidently this thread is 8th from the top in a google search for glasgow garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woolies Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 I think the intention was to indicate that the bands that the Glasgow Garage plays host to are Rock/Alternative types rather than Chart/Pop(/RnB) stuff that the nightclub's main hall dj's tend to favour...

Flash clearly was implying that 'non pop act' bands play at the Glasgow garage... so yes Sugarcult falls into that catagory (though they are shit imho... but thats a different topic). PS: Sugarcult probably have been on Radio One at some point, they get played on 'Scuzz' TV too... I can feel the envy swell inside you.
