chilli Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'll have some of that. I'm told you've got to see this guy once....different venues........different perspectives, tommorow will be very intimate& maybe a tad scary @ times????? (probably three times is the norn, live wise there's nobody to touch him & The Dresden Dolls will vouch for that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MDP Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 that was rather splended... i really likes MUSA, but definatley not as a gig venue... the space is just too compressed and full of things i was scarrred of breaking alan played fantastic as well, always a pleasure to see him live, i love what he does with layering and stuff!! truax was fantastic, funny, and awesome as always!!! i was really annoyed i had to leave because of my last bus... saw most of my fav songs though...the only thing i didn't like about his performance was that it seemed slightly (very slightly) subdued compared to his tunnels showsBUT... all in all i thought it was fucking awesome! annother fantastic IMP gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Cheers for the constructive feedback - always good to get opinions.I think we are aware of both the capabilities and restrictions of MUSA as a venue and this will be taken into account for the type of artists we try to book for there......Thomas in the kitchen was great though eh............

Shaki Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I thoroughly enjoyed myself, the only downside being the heat and the thirst! Impossible to get drunk in that place. Probably a good thing actually....Alan Cynic, Aberdeen's king of self-deprecation, played a solid set. Enjoyed the Culter cover "Beautiful Cosmos". Such a strange vocal in that song. Ooh, and I know the origin of the word Bedlam now, educational too!Truax - genius. More of an act than a gig if you know what I mean? Wouldn't rush out to buy his CD but to see him in full flow was tremendous. His banter and improvisation was fantastic. for some reason I was imagining an episode of Quantum Leap where Sam jumps into his body while his face was in the hornicator. Now that would be an "Oh boy!" I hope people are familiar with that show or i'm talking shite. Yep, stop typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MDP Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 yeh... trusax in the kitchen was awesome... did he play the song where he gets people to sing into the hornicatror after i left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkt Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I enjoyed the venue, Kitchen Cynics and Thomas Truax greatly. Great choice of drinks although a tad expensive.I was scared I was going to break a painting though. Downer on the night, had to leave for the last bus at 11...cept the bus didnt come and I had to waste money on a taxi, I was very annoyed as I could have stayed for the end after all that...cheers to Interesting Music Promotions for another great event!

careering Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 lovely warm venue, however strange with upmarket diners eyeballingpeople there for the music & vice versa, kitchen cynics was really warm & Mr Truax was eccentric & ace & entertaining & gifted & a fantastic live entertainer.

Mothership Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 The diners in front of the stage were amusing. They seemed to enjoy Alan & decided to hang around for the main act. After all, if the support is that good, what's the headliner going to be like? When he started off with the hornicator their expressions and body language were priceless. It was funny watching the looking round as if thinking "these people paid to watch this - odd they look kinda normal". They seemed to get into it though, looking much more relaxed before the reappearance of the hornicator scared them of. As Thomas said, they don't seem to like hornication.Excellent gig though. But very hot upstairs & the ventilation (obviously not aircon) was pretty loud there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothership Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Was it still open as a resteraunt during the gig?Yes and no. A couple of tables of people lingered, taking the opportunity of a free gig. A bit awkward for the staff & promoters, I imagine. Do you tell them to bugger off while they are drinking their coffee? Alan's set didn't hint at what was to come:jester: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
