kirkt Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 band are surely The Upstarts. Fuckin great ska-punk like Against All Authority, Assorted Jellybeans etc. Their talents seem wasted in Aberdeen. They're playing with the amazing Freaks Union, Heroic Doses and The Planeteers this Saturday at the Moorings. Check em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Gilman Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 the upstarts are indeed fantastic. i remember their early days when they did less than jake covers in their set, and it was tight as a nuns cunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Amy* Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Damn right. Alongside Quik, The Upstarts are the only Aberdeen band I try and catch whenever they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_1903 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've only seen them once, but yes they are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Ive only seen them once and they were awful. But that was their first gig in Aberdeen I believe and their sound was absolutely pish. Like they just didn't know what the knobs marked Treble and Bass on the front of their amps did. They sounded like they could have been good though, so maybe someone showed them...

Dinosaur Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I saw the upstarts at kef on sunday and thought they were brilliant. I thought they were a lot better than the band on before them, no offense to them or anythin. think it was the change of mood that ska/punk brings to an event that just lightened the whole night up.you did a great jerb there guys!
