Hog Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Somebody needs changing!Can you not provide something useful to this thread?Anyway, to say that the sound levels are OTT has to be bullshit. You can barely hear a band at the lock-up, even when standing just outside the door. Spike even practice in the lock-up its noisy stuff but I have stood outside when the others have played and its barely audible. The IH cant just guess that the bands in the lock-up are too loud.

dancey macclogs Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Can you not provide something useful to this thread?why bother?the lock-up was fucked by people who acted like complete children. then, in some desperate new 'we're really angry at our own stupid doing' type rebellion, decided to throw toilet paper all over the place. THEN they decided it was a good idea to moan about how they fucked up the lock-up.so, if we ever had a chance to sort something out with the residents across the road or with environmental health, its pretty much been ruined by the actions of one band who decided to act like overgrown babies.please, DO NOT LET THIS BAND USE YOUR PRACTICE SPACE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to stick yup for yourselves dont let them push you guys around and tell what they want done.maybe making sure that late bands practise quietly which might mean having more consideration to what kind of bands you have in the place, again going from my own experiences the bands that caused us problems were the really heavy ones, maybe not fair on them but im afraid thats the way it is.

Paulscoconutass Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 To be fair, the lock-up has been running for about 2 years (as far as i'm aware) and hasn't had any major problems with noise. When we practiced there you couldn't hear us from more than a lane away from the door. My take on this is that a band / bands have been practicing far too loud and managed to piss of the people accross the road, which is a shame for all the bands who kept it safe.

Good.As for the decibel ratings, I think Dave (or someone from the Upstarts) has/had a meeting with EH, so we'll see what comes of that. Thanks for the info though, its quite funny that somebody who runs another practice place seems to be more concerned then a band who was using the lock up itself!

Camie Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Steve from the Upstarts is meeting with the head of EH but she told him that in her professional opinion there is nothing that can be done.Really is a shame about the whole situation as the place was really handy for practice and especially for storing equipment after a gig.

The Milner Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 of course something can be done, has anyone considered trying to reduce the sound levels by carpeting the walls? Woulnt cost much if all the bands chipped in, as i say they will try and force stuff on you but know your rights before speaking to them, look this stuff up its important.

ZeromiserY Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 like i said, we didnt tell anyone to fuck anyone. we didnt trash the place, just a roll or two of tp, no big deal. we had carpeting up on the door but didnt really make any difference. we aint gonna play there any more, just the principal of the the thing really. and how do you know no-one ever complained about you? we didnt know until monday that any had moaned their face off about us. had they come across the road and said 'do you realsie that its loud enough to heasr across the street' we'd have happily turned down or padded the place up or something. but going from nothing, to , 'YER OOT' was a bit much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 you disrespected your own practise place tho, something that half the bands in aberdeen would love to have, so to be honset you deserve no sympathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
