Mordred Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 routing problems? Can they not read a map?Saw Mendeed at the Underworld at the start of the month' date=' wasn't really impressed.The support bands on the other hand were amazing Scurge featured the new Raging Speedhorn guitarist and were pure Sludge But main support Malefice were flippin' amazing there singer held the crowd like a younger Phil Anselmo they certainly would go down well up here. Heavy as hell and much crowd movement - NICE Check out the above links and see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lava p. Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Taken directly from Mendeed's website...Anyone shed any light on this?? yup, I can. Mendeed would have had to travel for around 8 - 10 hours to do the aberdeen show. Obviously under those circumstances they would not have been able to give 100%I decided to leave posting a message for as long as I could to maintain interest in the show.

Hog Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Paul told Tony (element 106 vox) that it was happening, but then phoned and left me a message saying it was off, so I think its off. Best check with Paul to confirm though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously under those circumstances they would not have been able to give 100%fuckin pussys. razorwire travelled 10 hours to play aberden, still played ace and drove back to stoke same night. how would they last in america or europe if they cant handle long drives?

Why did they bother to book it in the first place? As Kirk said, there's a lot of band's I've seen who've had to travel a lot further and still tear the house down. Direct Control came over from Holland (via the USA) to Dundee with a bassist who'd only just learnt 5 or 6 songs the day before. They managed to play a set but a band from Glasgow can't?

calum Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 To my knowledge, Mendeed aren't playing. Neither are My Downfall or We Shall Be Blessed. I don't know about Element 106, but I'm sure Hog will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, its a pain and bookings should be honoured but as you know it does not always go to plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Shame the gig isnt happening anyway Paul. There are still 3 bands who could draw a decent enough crowd but well Im not in charge of a venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
