Larsen B 26 Report post Posted November 2, 2005 While not a big fan of any of the bands that is an impressive line up in terms of up and coming bands playing Aberdeen. I shall go if I am not going to the Mew gig in London that night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesus.H.Christ 7 Report post Posted November 5, 2005 It will be ace seeing the Rakes again at the Franz concert. I saw them at the Leeds Festival without Alan the lead singer as he was ill, but the rest still played on and had Kele from Bloc Party and the lead singer from Towers of London as special guest singers. Which was well cool. So it will be ace seeing the whole band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although we did support dogs who were pretty bad and thee unstrung(possibly the worst band ive ever seen) so its not all fun but roll on 06 none the less!

I noticed The Rakes were looking to have local support for each date of their tour, and I imagined it would be the perfect bow for my band. But I'm a dreamer and you're a do-er.
