GRANITE RUIN

MySpace.com - GRANITE RIN - Aberdeen, UK - Metal / Rock / Glam - www.myspace.com/graniteruin

The Right Reverend Son Henry is a triple thread on guitar,

lap steel and blues harp. Called "a legendary guitarist" by

music journalist Mark Dudick, he's also been blessed with

a strong singing voice and the ability to write songs that

sound decades old. Add to this a life well lived; Alaskan Oil

Field worker, kidnapped in Ecuador, shot in Tennessee,

teacher, father, mechanic and survivor.

Who wants to see us fit an eight-piece funk soul band with

sax, trumpets, keys and all the rest on our stage? Yup,

thought so. The Leonard Jones Potential will squeeze all

the dancing juice from your feet and leave you dazed. Its

all about a tight rhythm section providing a funky back-

bone to a screaming hammond and some swelling horns!

Slow Hands In The Badlands use the rock formula devel-

oped by bands such as Queens of the Stone Age and

infuse influences from the 70s hard rock era, resulting in

downtuned, epic sounding, speaker-bursting rock joy.

Five members make up Granite Ruin. Count them! They

do metal/rock/glam music. Onstage first at 8.30pm.

NERRUS KOR

Formed in 2005, Ten Tonne Dozer are a resilient five

member heavy-rock unit who are based on the remote

Shetland Islands, thus making them Britains most

northern heavy rock band... "The fact that TTD are no

spring chickens adds credence to this southern metal

quartet. The deep Anselmo growls and Wylde guitar

twangs feel more embittered than had they all been 23

years old. Part Pantera, part Black Label Society, part

System of a down - and with great solos," said Metal

Hammer, awarding them 8 out of 10.

Local boys Bonesaw are at the forefront of the Scottish

death metal scene. Theyre a lumbering 90's death metal

zombie, and have supported the likes of Naplam Death.

Thrashist Regime are all about righteous vocals and

heroic thrash guitars. They get their jollies from Megadeth,

Metallica, Forbidden, Realm, Suicidal Tendencies, Anthrax,

Testament, Risactonia, and other beasting thrash.

Listen. Listen, children? What can you hear? Technical,

menacing, groove driven riffery? Visceral, inventive beats

and blasts? Brutal, hate fuelled death growl? Yes? Well,

that could well be Perths Nerrus Kor... an uncompromis-

ing death metal band with the scent of blood..

SNAKE TEMPLE KINGS

The Snake Temple Kings on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

"It's about time Aberdeen had a space rock band".

Formed in late 2006, The Snake Temple Kings came bounding in to enthusiastically fill the gapping void in Aberdeen's prog rock market with some saxy, bluesy, blustering jazz-rock vibes. They're influenced by Hawkwind, Gong, King Crimson, Magma, Ozric Tentacles, Steve Hillage, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Caravan, Van Der Graff Generator, Faust, Can, Brian Eno, and Jah Wobble. It even gets a bit Mr Bungle at times.

AUTOSAFARI

AUTOSAFARI on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Edinburgh/Glasgow based trio Autosafari sound like early REM to our ears, but there's a fair smattering of college-rock, indie and pop at work in their epic sounding toe-tappers.

"Autosafari is angry. About a lot of things. In fact just about the only thing that doesnt make Autosafari angry is mixing crunching guitar and pounding bass with blistering drums to create explosive, driving songs that let the world know how pissed off Autosafari is about the state of things. This, conversely, makes Autosafari happy."

LIAR'S DICE

Liars Dice on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

A five piece assortment of crack-pot musicians dedicated to a life of ethanol fueled, classic rock guided adventures, "ready to perform an original set of rocking tunes by means of guitar, vocals, bass and drums", and brought together by a love of The Black Crowes, AC/DC, Led Zep, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynard and all that jazz. Err, well not jazz. But you know what I mean.

THE OXBOW LAKE ORCHESTRA

the oxbow lake orchestra on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

With their first EP "Neanderthal Blues" to promote, here come oddball genre-defying jazz/folk merchants The Oxbow Lake Orchestra. They came together in the winter of 2007/2008, and hail from the beautiful wee village of Collieston, which has, they're sure, informed the music and how they play. The live shows are upbeat good time events and they "play a lot of (far too many) traditional and acoustic instruments - but don't assume anything from that!"

ONION TERROR - LAST EVER GIG! plus supports

166fnefly.jpg

ONION TERROR

Onion Terror on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Fudge are saddened to present this, the final gig from Aberdeen pop punk heroes Onion Terror. With a host of legendary appearances in venues all over the city, any number of singalong songs, and a host of inspired cover versions behind them, they're getting their shit together one last time for a final blow-out at the Moorings.

"Onion Terror have been rocking venues, bedrooms and transistor radios for over seven years with only one intention to entertain the masses! Infectious pop songs like Jelly Tots, See You Tonight and More Than This keep the crowds singing along and coming back in numbers to witness their high-energy, foot-stamping, hand-clapping live shows. Ladies and Gentlemen, make way for entertainment-core!!!"

Go check out the video on their myspace... you'll get the idea. We'll miss the little tykes.

SCUNNER

Scunner on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Main support for the gig comes from oddball Glaswegians, Scunner. They play a sort of Berlin-cabaret-inspired alternative pop rock. There just aren't enough feather festoned bowler hats in rock, you'd have to agree. Did I even spell 'festoned' right there? Who cares! Words can do them no justice.

BRONTO SKYLIFT

BRONTO SKYLIFT on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Glaswegian post-rockers Bronto Skylift are inspired by, "Nutella, prescription drugs, 10p bags of crisps, girls, boys and tractors". Rollicking great slabs of riffery combine with Sonic Youth aesthetics and a touch of the Grunge. They're playing all over Scotland just now, in a frenzy of gigging-activety, and the art-school duo make their first appearance at the bar.

ESCAPE TO VICTORY

Escape To Victory on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Escape To Victory formed in the summer from 2006 from members of The Planeteers and The Upstarts with the intention of creating a quad vocalled, "in your face" style of melodic hardcore punk. They have since had the opportunity to play across Scotland with the likes of Sonic Boom Six, Skindred, Another Breath, Chief, The King Blues and Rentokill amongst others. A quality opener for a quality line-up!

Boycotts + super six funk machine + ded rabbit

SATURDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2009 AT THE MOORINGS, 8pm, 3:

BOYCOTTS + SUPER SIX FUNK MACHINE + DED RABBIT

167fnefly_thumb.jpg

BOYCOTTS

Boycotts on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Boycotts formed a couple of months ago in Glasgow and are currently trying to find their feet. This task shouldn't present them with any problems though, as they appear to be a stunning mash of pop-rock, disco-rock and rock-rock, all smooshed-up in an Art School blender, with sing-a-long lyrics and tunes to get you dancing. I'll be fucking amazed if they don't go down a storm.

SUPER SIX FUNK MACHINE

Super Six Funk Machine on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Little of them is known, other than that there's six of them (one is Colin fae Ghost Of Bongos), they're a god-damn funk machine, and they're almost certainly going to be super.

DED RABBIT

Ded Rabbit on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

A quick return to the bar for the sax-wielding funk-rockers from the hinterland: "We are four brothers who live on a farm in the middle of friggin' nowhere. We've been playing/writing music for about four years."

They've clearly had bugger all to do but practice for the last four years, because they're actually rather good.

(Hidden Leaves have had to pull out i'm afraid)

14 Feb - VALENTINES DAY

SATURDAY 14th FEBRUARY AT THE MOORINGS BAR

FUDGE PRESENT BACCHUS, DIRTY WEE MIDDENS, CUDDLY SHARK and STONE FIDELLA

168fnefly_thumb.jpg

BACCHUS

MySpace.com - Bacchus*** - Shetland, UK - Punk / Rock - www.myspace.com/bacchus3

Phil, Rory and Aaron, the only punk band in Shetland. They - not without reason - claim to be the United Kingdoms most northerly punk band, and take their influences from old punk bands like the Anti-Nowhere League, the English Dogs and the Ramones. They've toured the UK and travelled as far north as the Faroe Islands, and they've been cropping up constantly on the Moorings Bar jukebox since as long as I can remember. Head down early, the place'll be heaving with ex-pat Shetlanders on the lash...

DIRTY WEE MIDDENS

MySpace.com - Dirty Wee Middens? - Dundee, UK - Punk / Punk / Punk - www.myspace.com/themiddens

"We are not your typical PSYCHOBILLY band. We strive NOT TO sound like The Misfits or Murderdolls."

A fetid hybrid between all that is dark, punk and humorous in today's society. A chaotic explosion of noise and insanity, these five Dundonian friends have but one agenda on their minds.... to make your night as enjoyable as theirs with their cheeky, fast and catchy punk rock! Woo hoo!

CUDDLY SHARK

MySpace.com - Cuddly Shark - UK - Alternative / Rock / Pop - www.myspace.com/cuddlyshark

Born three years ago, Cuddly Shark consists of two boys and one girl. Born and bred in the bonnie highlands of Scotland the band found themselves magnetically drawn to the rain-soaked musical hotspot that is Glasgow to hone their sound. Their new double A-side single 'Woody Woodpecker' and 'Bowl of Cherries' comes out Monday 12th January on Armellodie Records and will be available from all digital download shops.

they have the punk strut of The Stooges, The Cure and The Cramps ... the musical expanse of Fugazi and the humour of early Roxy Music. - Daily Record

STONE FIDELLA

MySpace.com - Stone Fidella - Aberdeen/Inverurie, UK - Rock / Alternative / Blues - www.myspace.com/stonefidella

This trio play rock music with knowing winks towards the likes of Eels, Motorhead, Zeppelin, Deep Purple and QOTSA.
