Panda Strong Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Really looking forward to this now. Apparently the previous dates have been a bit under promoted, thus leading to a not so great turn out. I just hope it's not empty.The support sounds pretty dire, but hey, whatever floats yer boat.

Apparently the previous dates have been a bit under promoted, thus leading to a not so great turn out. I just hope it's not empty.This one has been fucking AWFULLY promoted. Had I not visited their myspace to ask them to come up and play within the next few months I would not have known about this.I would not have searched for the thread and therefore would not have posted. I haven't seen a single fucking poster or ad for it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Strong Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah, sucks like. Who is putting it on...?It's a shame because you know it's the kind of gig that could be packed. The kids love this kinda stuff just now. But if they don't know it's on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a single fucking poster or ad for it anywhere.It's always the same! I went to a gig in Tunnels which had 12 people there... but in Moshulu where Foals were playing it was practically sold out. There needs to be more communcation and people looking at what's on where and whether they are similar or not. The gig I went to had no advertising except the posters in the Tunnels. The band I went to see - The Ads, had actually previously supported Foals... It's frustrating when you go to a gig and you know the band could really put on a good show and no one knows about it. Or when you find out about it... It's already past! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkster Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 It seems to be the thing these days and venues wonder why they're losing money left,right and centre. I know some outside promoters do balls jobs now and then but at least most of the time they try their best where possible cos otherwise it all comes out of their pocket.If I hadn't looked at this site, I wouldn't have known about this gig til Bruce txt me this mornin askin if I'm goin. As it happens, the Falkirk replay is on tonight but come 1030 I could be wishin I'd went to this gig instead haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 How was the crowd for a gig nobody knew about?11 paying customers. 6 for Johnny Foreigner, the remainder came up from Glasgow with Think Fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 11 paying customers. 6 for Johnny Foreigner, the remainder came up from Glasgow with Think Fire.I often wonder what bands think when they come to Aberdeen and are faced with practically no crowd. That sucks!Johnny Foreigner sound good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks!Johnny Foreigner sound good as well.That happens everywhere though, it's not an Aberdeen thing.Johnny Foreigner were ace as expected, Think Fire were horrific, seemed to think a lot of themselves too which didn't come across well. I'm not sure if the between-song-talk or the songs themselves were the worst part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
