connie Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was devastated to miss almost all of The Holy Folks. That made me super sad. I thought Fluffy and the Rainbow Bunnies were really good. At previous gigs I hadn't been that keen on them, but they sure know how to work a crowd.I thought : ( started well, but after a while it became a bit same-y. Also, it was really hard to hear the keyboards/synths/whatever over Mart's singing/screaming and Adam's drumming. But I'd still definitely go and see them again. They're the most original act going in Aberdeen at the moment.The snow was pretty good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kernel Loaf Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Had a fantastic night. A really great, friendly atmosphere in the Tunnels last night. I can't be assed detailing the bands to full so I will shorten it down to a few words:Sam Beaton - great opening set and some catchy songsHoly Folks - very powerful and enjoyable indeed. The new songs are greatUs - That had to be the best gig we have ever played: ( - Not bad at all actually! But from the back you could not hear the keyboards, just a wall of vocals and drums. This was concluded after I went to the front in order to get my Luigi cap back. Not really the type of vocals I dig but a good live performance was all I needed Once again thanks for everyone coming and making the night a success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexicon Devil Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was gutted in missing Colon Open-bracket, due to them being after my last bus.Sam - Not really my cup of tea at all. Seemed a little unprepared; too many forgotten songs or lyrics.Holy Folks - Quite liked them actually. Catchy, pleasant tunes. Only constructive criticism would be to keep practciing ana dgain more consistency/confidence; it seemed evident which were your" stronger" songs, or the ones you felt most comfortable with.FATRB - Embarassing. Really. Seemed a tad disorganised and some of the material appeared to be delivered in a really sketchy manner. I see what you're going for I just didn't think you pulled it off or were paticularly funny. Some of the songs seemed too immature. Cut some of the banter and tighten up a bit.I noticed that all bands seemed to have longer than the "average" 30 minute set. This really made the evening drag along. After that length of time all the bands started to get a bit tedious and I was just waiting for the next act. Maybe I'm just a bit bitter about missing Colon, but it did seem as though shorter sets would have kept the evening rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sludge Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thats my god damn hand!i really ,really enjoyed this gig.infact id go as far as saying its the best ive been to and the most fun ive had in about a year.really glad i went.good friendly croud,full of lovely people!sam beaton:set the energy level and pace of the eveing and i thought he did really well.would never listen to his one pound cd!but id certainly have a drink with and see the man again.top stuff.Holy Folks:pure entertainment,and all about fun.dont think they really give a shit about what people think of their music but in no way does that take away from there overall fun,warm and exciting factor.Fluffy:fucking love these guys.more people that dont take themselves to seriously and thats the kind of people i like to meet!came on leaps and bounds from the last time i saw them - and for the fannys that didnt find them funny should just fuck off and play with themselves.: ( - was so impressed by this band - by far aberdeens best all round band at the moment - solid,funky and fun.original and fresh - a great prospect.Cheers for everyone who put up with my pissed slur afterwards!

ben_1903 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Fluffy:fucking love these guys.more people that dont take themselves to seriously and thats the kind of people i like to meet!came on leaps and bounds from the last time i saw them - and for the fannys that didnt find them funny should just fuck off and play with themselves.er no. If fluffy and the rainbows had sense they'd have quit by now. A joke band should last for 1 gig. As a joke. And for the joke to work - it has to be listenable, and it really isn't. A drum machine and retarded riffs isn't very nice on the ears.yes, i enjoyed their set (because i danced around with sam and made a human pyramid) - but musically, I never want to hear it again (unless im pissed)...Not a personal attack on the band....fluffy didn't laugh at me when i poured my drink down my front - so I'm grateful for that./rant over.
