Guest idol_wild Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 We haven't played a full gig in an absolute age. But we've been added to the bill to support Scandanavian outfit Jeniferever.So if you want live music and good times, come on down.www.myspace.com/mapsuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I think it's 5 for a ticket.Should be great as Jeniferever are debuting new material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I suppose it would be about time for them to release some new stuff.I'm not entirely sure if there are any other acts on this night or not. Hopefully Jamesy can enlighten us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Yeah, I just noticed Copy Haho and Lady Mercedes were also down. I assume someone has pulled out - no way will there be five bands on the bill!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I dont think Haho are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossP Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Jeniferever were excellent the last time they were up (despite the horrific turnout)I'm trying my best to make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have ticket number 7, or, something stupidly low like that.Looks as though it's not going to be a sell-out anytime soon.What was the turnout like last time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 It wasn't especially great, the last turnout.I really like Jeniferever, but it seems the Aberdeen audience, by and large, isn't interested in anything remotely different or experimental.

Elizabeth Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 True, true.I spent the whole journey from Glasgow listening to them; they make fantastic "in the car, looking out the window" music.Weren't colonopenbracket the support last time?

I can't for the life of me remember who it was that supported though but there was only about 12 people there apparently I couldn't go as i was in Glasgow.There was still about 1/3 to 1/2 of the crowd still there after we got off the stage when we played with them though. We all know what crowds are like though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 the favourite sons + think:fire supported that last time. thankfully i missed both.jeniferever were a bit dissapointing last time. the vocalist was being overdramatic and singing quiet loud quiet loud quiet too loud. great music obviously and i love the records.as for the aberdeen crowd not being into experimental music i would probably agree and disagree. interesting music promotions put on a fair amount of "experimental" (i would call it music others dont) and their crowds are generally very appreciative and buy merch form the bands. there are people into it, just many of them dont really venture to many gigs. can we all say that we go to every experimental gig in aberdeen? i doubt it saying that i would hardly call jeneiferever experimental though, they pretty much play straight up, tuneful indie musichope the show goes well, i think kartta will be a great support for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim BENCH Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 What an odd gig! Not only were there Jeniferever, Kartta and Parity's Fall but Jamesy book Katerwaul at the last minute too. Which I was totally stoked about (supporting one of your favourite bands doesn't come everyday). But then it turned out that Jeniferever had a touring support from the amazing Paul Marshall. 5 acts in one night. Jenni did a sterling job though. And all bands played great. Good to hear Kartta with the full line up. Jeniferever were amazing AGAIN. Turnout wasn't great and the guys have hinted that it would be the last time they come to Aberdeen... poo.

About 8 - 10 folk at the front by the end. Since it was much the same last time apparently, perhaps they have decided it just isn't worth it. Probably not chuffed they never got a sound check either but that was their own fault for showing up 2 and 3/4 hours late. I never paid them much mind last time I saw them, think I was too tired and went home, but wanted to give them a fair go last night, really enjoyed them and stuck till the end. The acoustic lad seemed quite good, but after 3 loud guitar bands, out of place on the line up. Should have been on first, crowd would have been similar in number anyway.
