“We are a three piece band from Peterhead

with high ambitions! We have been together for

songs. We recorded our first demo not too long

ago. We all like different styles of rock music...

mix it together...and there you have our band.”

MySpace.com - Onion Terror - Aberdeen, UK - Punk / Rock / Ska - www.myspace.com/onionterror

If the person who wrote all the 1970s porno

music turned his hand to writing pop-rock-ska

tunes, and he had tourettes, the result might

well be Onion Terror. Inspired by The Living End,

Bloodhound Gang, Unwritten Law, Zebrahead

and Powder, they always go down well and even

thank you afterwards.

MySpace.com - Maiden Scotland in Edin/Aberdeen on 7/8thMarch - Glasgow, UK - Metal / Rock / Classic Rock - www.myspace.com/maidenscotland

"Maiden Scotland are an Iron Maiden tribute from Scotland, featuring 5 excellent and experienced musicians, recreating the sounds of the legendary British heavy metal band.

We have played in many prestigious venues throughout the UK and can regularly be found blasting out Maiden tunes throughout Scotland. We are also the number one choice for Paul Dianno to use as his UK backing band.

2007 has confirmed Maiden Scotland as one of the biggest and best Iron Maiden tributes around. Having performed with Paul Dianno, for Clive Aid and the Iron Maiden Fan Club, anyone who has witnessed our live show will give testament to a full on committed rock gig rather than a cabaret act with dodgy wigs!

So whoever, wherever you are, Maiden Scotland's gonna get you, no matter how far.

Up The Irons !!!"

MySpace.com - Black Atom - Aberdeen, UK - Metal / Progressive / Classic Rock - www.myspace.com/blackatom

"Formed in 1998, Black Atom have spent years perfecting their art - the art of metal!!

Recent supports with Thin Lizzy, Blaze Bayley and Breed77 have cemented the band's reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in Scotland and are on the edge of something huge.

With an average age of 22, these guys bring a real modern edge to traditional metal. Exceptional song writing and musicianship combined with the ability to really entertain make this band really special.

Black Atom have just released their debut album on Independant label Fat Hippy Records and it is receiving amazing reviews that are sure to help propel the band to where they deserve to be."

MySpace.com - SWORDMASTER (3 Album Tracks Up Now!) - Dundee, UK - Metal / Rock - www.myspace.com/swordmasteruk

"We are SWORDMASTER, an instrumental heavy metal band from Dundee. We are dedicated to only two things; heroic metal anthems and mad chops.

Instrumental, triumphant, uplifting, fun, fully heavy instrumental metal. No nonsense. "

SATURDAY 15 MARCH - MOORINGS BAR - 8.30pmish til 12.45amish

MySpace.com - Eric Euan (Booking Tour) - Aberdeen, Scotland, UK - Alternative / Rock - www.myspace.com/ericeuan

Instantly infectious songs driven by a powerful rhythm

section. A dynamic three guitar attack and soaring

vocal harmonies give them a distinctive and lasting

epic quality.

Heroic proponents of intense melody, towering

rhythms and philharmonic riffage" - Baby Tiger

A flurry of jerky rhythms, searing guitars and anxious

harmonies, not a one-trick pony - Is this music?

Driving epic rock histrionics surge and jump like giant

horses chasing surfers. Pure splendour - 13th Note

MySpace.com - The Hostiles (NEW SONG UP!!) - Ayr, UK - Ska / Reggae / Punk - www.myspace.com/hostileska

Ska! Trumpets! Punk! Catchy choruses! Gang vocals!

A trombone! What the fuck ISNT there to love about

these Ayrshire musicians who formed in late 2001

with the goal not to conform to popular music. The

band is influenced by acts as diverse as Reel Big Fish,

Earth Wind and Fire and The Beastie Boys - and their

first love is performing live. So dance for them! Dance!

MySpace.com - BloodNut - Aberdeen, UK - Metal - www.myspace.com/bloodnut666

A relatively new stoner-rawk outfit featuring former

members of Risactonia and Radio Lucifer. Big riffs,

a southern tinge and hard rockin tunes.

MySpace.com - Manson-Inc. - Glasgow/Aberdeen, UK - Classic Rock / Rock / Metal - www.myspace.com/mansoninc

A guitar driven band who can deliver both fast paced

rock songs and slow, eerie ballads. Think Pearl Jam.

Three quid on the door.

MySpace.com - The Tyrant Lizard Kings - EDINBURGH, UK - Rock / Southern Rock / Metal - www.myspace.com/tyrantlizardkings

Formed in Edinburgh with a raw, stoner rock

groove, their twisted noise began to shift in a new

direction, with a more structured take on rock and

blues. Referencing Clutch, Karma to Burn and

Motorhead, the music became more immediate

and catchy as hooks began to emerge under the

riffs. Released their first album "Attack of the

Tyrant Lizard Kings" to glowing reviews in 2005.

“Your attention will be truly grabbed from the first

note, and at the end, [you’ll fell] like you've been

ridden hard and put away wet" - Metal Express

MySpace.com - FLAT IRON - EDINBURGH, UK - Metal - www.myspace.com/flatironmetal

Death by metal! Brilliant and brutal stoner band -

“In a part of the world where there are no rules,

deep in the jungle where nothing that lives is safe,

an elite rescue squad is being led by the ultimate

warrior. But now, they're up against the ultimate

enemy. Nothing like it has ever been on earth

before. It kills for pleasure, it hunts for sport. But

this time, it picked the wrong man to hunt.”

MySpace.com - Evil Demon Theory - Aberdeen, UK - Rock / Progressive / Classic Rock - www.myspace.com/evildemontheory

Four like minded creatures with an appreciation of

good music, and a desire to write their own. Each

member brings something unique to this project,

which places importance on meaningful lyrics,

groovy riffs, wailing solos, fat bass and some angry

drumming. Music with soul and balls.

MOORINGS, SAT 7 JUNE

MySpace.com - Deviltrain - Aberdeen, UK - Roots Music / Folk Rock / Acoustic - www.myspace.com/detrendiablo

"Like four ugly gunslinging bastards dressed like Johnny Cash playing Pogues type songs in a Proclaimers accent..." - Rodger Atkins, journalist.

Fed up of the sad proliferation of bands playing covers, the founder members of Deviltrain wanted to do something a little different! Taking inspiration from a number of idols, icons and genres, the task was therefore set to write original and deliver material with a North East of Scotland twist. There was born the title of ‘Stomping Scottish Outlaw Music’. It is fitting with ancestral links to the early settlers of what is now known as the United States of America and the ‘Underground Railway’ (essentially setting the roots to blues and country music) Deviltrain throw together a mix of vibrant tunes described by many as a clash of Cash, Hank and the Proclaimers and other Celtic and Country bampots.

MySpace.com - Clear Blue Skies - Northumberland, UK - Rock / Grunge / Acoustic - www.myspace.com/clearblueskies

Clear Blue Skies are a UK touring band from the North East of England. They play rock music with a hint of country and a twist of grunge. They are learning as they go (things like: coffee is 40p cheaper up North when on tour), the band work harder than ever to reach all the people calling for them around the country. They are now run and driven by the best, themselves.

Playing with many bands, known and unknown, playing with heroes, meeting inspirational people all the time, playing for Channel Four, E4 and radio... they keep busy....

MySpace.com - THE DIRTY YOUTH FAN SITE !! - S.Wales, UK - Rock / Rock / Rock - www.myspace.com/thedirtyyouthfans

Choose Rock. Choose not to work. Choose the underworld. Choose a Band. Choose a fucking big overdraft from getting to gigs, Choose tuning pedals, vans, Mp3 players and cheap food. Choose Planet Loud, Choose Ed Stone, Choose Festivals, Low monitor mixes, No instrument insurance. Choose semi repaired mic leads that never work. Choose a support slot for a shity band that are 1/2 as good as you after 12 pints. Choose your myspace friends. Choose tight jeans and matching Accessories. Choose a studio on hire purchase with a range of fucking payment options. Choose a massive rider and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching MTV videos of average bands and spirit-crushing reality shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, As long as people listen to your music.

Choose your future. Choose The Dirty Youth.

MySpace.com - Flaming Katy - Aberdeen, UK - Rock / Powerpop - www.myspace.com/flamingkaty

Drawing on a diverse range of influences - The Band, Queens of the Stone Age, Neil Young, ACDC, Teenage Fanclub, Kings of Leon, Weezer and Rush – FK have honed their collaborative song-writing skills around a strong focus on melody, harmony, energy and riffing; and although essentially a “guitar rock” band, FK have created their own distinctive sound that is hard to compare to one single band or influence.

MySpace.com - Rue The Day - UK - Metal / Rock - www.myspace.com/ruethedayrock

"Early 2008 and Rue The Day are immersing themselves into a burgeoning metal scene; leading the charge of fresh British thrash talent. Unleashing their debut album on Casket Records and selling out online within the first day of release alongside glowing press coverage, a September UK tour and big budget film soundtrack beckon.

Recently back from a successful tour of Eastern Europe, concluding in a headline slot at the Party in the Prague Festival, Rue The Days music has featured on MTV 2's Headbangers Ball, a history of thrash Big Cheese covermount CD and a number of extreme sports films - while the band themselves have ripped apart a string of high-profile venues."

BLOODNUT + DOLLAR-SENT + 1864 IN ART

and introducing THE MR MOORINGS 2008 COMPETITION hosted by Rapunzel

"SO! WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MR MOORINGS COMPETITION?" I hear you query... I can now answer that question...

There are 3 stages:

1) A physical challenge which will take place in the lane outside the bar (to ensure that everyone is able to breathe). This will be underway whilst bands are on but people are welcome to spectate.

The winner of the physical challenge is allocated 10 points, the runner up 8 points and so forth.

2) The golden ratio. Here we compare wrist, chest, waist, hip, measurements etc with the golden ratio. Scoring system as per before. We also compare body fat and muscle mass using scientific scales.

3) Audience vote. Scoring as before.

We then add all 3 scores to find the winner.
