Actually, I think I missed you lot! I am sure I arrived just when Fubar were on, if that was the band with the fat hairy bassist wearing a kilt.

Were you playing covers or original material?

We were playing both. That was a michty long while ago though, we've progressed and if you're up for taking a risk whether you'll like us or not drop down to drummonds on saturday 27th or if you really just cant wait > www.myspace.com/blackmatteraberdeen
