Guest ()Papaspyrou() Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I've only seen one song on the screens of triple Kirks bar's jukebox and was thinking 11 is pretty steep for a band this size. Not sure if anyone else has really questioned the slightly inflated price but anyway; I was wondering about the support bands...are there any?

Rachie Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I don't think it's too steep at all. Just because you can't find them on the song list at Triple Kirks?Support bands are Lapsus Lingue and the Jo McCafferty Band.It's gonna be a good gig.

Guest ()Papaspyrou() Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 no no, I can and did find them on triple kirks - thats why I said so.Its not just that but I've only heard of them from here and to be honest, I can go and see a renound band like Eighties Matchbox disasters for less.I'll probably still go because they look pretty entertaining, but I think the price might put off many.

Ross Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I've only seen one song on the screens of triple Kirks bar's jukebox and was thinking £11 is pretty steep for a band this size. Not sure if anyone else has really questioned the slightly inflated price but anyway; I was wondering about the support bands...are there any?Well tell you what... don`t bother coming....Dresden Dolls fee is not the same as your average band. They are very expensive.The booking agent sets the ticket price. - *stuck record*Infact.... feel free to come into the office on Tuesday and i`ll run through the figure for the gig and then you can tell me if you think 11 was too much.*why do i even bother!"Nothing decent comes to Aberdeen...moan moan whinge whinge.....and when something does people find something else to moan about.......ARGH!"

french_disko Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 11.00........ Hardly a life changing amount here - about the price of four pints. I got White Stripes tickets at 25 each, Paul Weller at 33. LCD Soundsystem at The Lemon Tree on Thursday is 15. The Pixies are 34 for the gig at Meadowband the same week. How much are Feeder at Crathes Castle? Three bands at 11 is about 3.66 per band. Then again, Interesting Music gigs are 5.00 - so make sure you attend Josephine Foster / Mi & Lau / tarpis taula / mickel mass on Tuesday of next week at The Tunnels. http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27051 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I don't think 11 is too much. Infact, considering they (well, Amanda Palmer anyway) are coming over from America, only for 3 shows, I probably wouldn't mind anything up to 15. I guess you have a point about how it may put people off if they aren't huge fans, but there is no doubt that they are (as previously said) one of the coolest bands in the game, with real thought and care put into every song/performance and with a very good grasp on the theories and techniques they employ as artists (read up on Bertolt Brecht). This is a very hard working band, i'd be enclined to go as far as to say 'cutting edge' in what they do (as in there aren't many accessible bands in a style based on the 1920's/30 burlesque/cabaret scene, most notably in Germany, although this 'scene' was widespread...) and above all they are fantastic songwriters. A band like this doesn't come to our sleepy little fishing town often, and although it is the week I am infact moving to Glasgow, I am delighted they are playing in Aberdeen, no matter how high the booking agent has set the ticket prices.Why on earth am I awake this early.

Guest bluesxman Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Not slagging off anything to do with the gig, but can't help but think a lot of the dynamic will be lost in the material by the drums being missing. Fair play to her for going through with it though, I guess lesser bands would have taken the easy option and cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 why is it a solo gig & not a full set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 why is it a solo gig & not a full set?Brian, the drummer, didn't want to come. He's not ill, they're not breaking up, he just didn't want to go on the road again, which Amanda said she respects in her diary on the website.

RicoAUBL Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 tehheee..11wooo loads of moneypeople give me shit for charging them 2 to get into the moorings or drummonds when there's bands playing - 2!and then they'll go in and spend more on a pint and not even think twice about itlet's throw in some examples..it'll cost you 15 to sit in the stalls at the Grimsby Auditorium for 'The Meatloaf Story'or 25 to see Franz Ferdinand at T on The Fringeand people complain about paying a tenner to see some quality bands at their local venuepffft! bands who have come ALL the way up here to play..or would you prefer it if everyone just gave up and you had to travel to glasgow to see everyone... and thus your expenses would be pretty much trebled... hmm...
