Steven Milne Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Out of genuine interest (and not sour grapes) what criteria makes the process and how do the judges make their decisions for t-break? i wonder how it gets discussed coz if they have 1000 cds to get through im thinking it must be a nightmare! does anyone know?im just curious and not taking the piss at all.how is it done?do they try and put through a balance of styles? like in the last two years from listening to the show, theyve had a heap of guitar bands and then a random hip hop act thrown in towards the end.theres also a distinct lack of solo artists get through but then maybe these types of people just havent been applying much. Last year there seemed like a lot of samey bands but this year was much more varied.Id like to think that the location of a band has no bearing on a decision and that its down to the quality of the demos musicality i.e - songs. Aberdeens scene is really good and has improved massively in the last few years (in my opinion, just take the last two weeks gig roster bonnie prince billy, hope of the states, morrisey, brakes, forward russia, son of dave and i like trains all in the same week and now tryptich!). Maybe people at T dont know that weve actually got a tidy wee scene going on! Just my opinion tho.Anyway, Its a shame no other bands from Aberdeen got through (from the ones I know, enough applied) coz itd be good exposure but massive well done to Project:Ven Hell for getting through and good luck for the heats.Also, a band who got through that we played with in 13th Note last week called Attic Lights are playing Gonorth, everyone should go see them coz theyre damn good harmonies and nice folk to match!

Guest Gasss Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Small Enclosed Area and AKA the fox have also played T Break... I think Staccatto Set have too. We were asked to enter a couple of years back.Balls to Aberdeen bands being excluded... it's just that very few actually enter.Don't forget The Needles and Lift.

Jim Stax Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 ah yes' date=' I knew I'd missed out a few.There's probably more.[/quote']Atom Flask.Not sure if there is a central belt bias as it would make no sense, surely, as there is no additional expense for a band travelling from up here and contrary to what the conspiracy theorists say there is no big central belt club looking after their own. There are bands and acts that don't need to play the heats and there are insiders that will be organising in favour of a breaking act, its a business after all, for better or worse. I don't think, as mentioned, that Aberdeen has done too bad to be honest. It's not a big city and proprtionately probably showing a good hand. Does suck to see bands getting through for whatever reason knowing that there are better bands with mates in them. Maybe its diveristy they look for, who knows but there will always be disgruntled folk. I'm on the 'kick up the arse team'.

SuperMike! Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I don't think anyone's ever got anywhere simply through playing T-Break. I'd imagine it helps to be known to the judges in the first place. At the end of the day no matter which 48 bands are chosen, the other 952 will moan about it. It's the same every year.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 On the Radio last year we were described as being from Kirkaldy, just because Tina had used her home address, as she was moving house. I've never even been there and I don't like Linoleum anyway. But it said Aberdeen in some of the press bumf, and as far as I'm concerned we were representing for the deen then. I'm the only Aberdonian in the Fox though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
