Kef closing: Memories and opinions


Guest Giles Walker

Recommended Posts

Also, Antimaniax. Perhaps the one and only time I'll see them. I think The X-certs supported and took the majority of people over to the Lemon Tree where I think Alyssa's Wish were playing. Whatever it was, about 15 people were left watching Antimaniax, who were brilliant. Not surprised they haven't been back to Scotland since.

supporting editors with the little kicks was a personal highlight and great memory for me

although im not a big fan now of their new stuff

at the stage they were at then they were awesome

watching then soundcheck there was something clearly there

good night out after too

apart from that i can vaguely remember: ltj bukem, peshay, grandmaster flash,goldie (who handed bottles of jack into the crowd for everyone to share if i remember right)

many others but my brain is stuck when i try to remember who played

just remembered: i have happy memories of playing Kef with ALTROCK TM many many years ago. it was the only gig we ever played. we took oil drums and a sledgehammer onstage with us. that might be why...

and there was a small child wandering dangerously close to the mayhem. he seemed obvlivious to the scary men in spiderman masks beating the crap out of oil drums with sledgehammers though, very odd.

it really was terrable:down:

Did you get rejected? I suppose they only booked bands who could actually play and not just make noise!

On a side note they are apparently extending it into the car park

But then that was probably due to them not liking it during the other nights, and thinking that it would be exactly the same. The clubnights could have been awesome for all I know, but I only went once anyway and that was to a Reuben gig I think, so I can't comment on it being shit or not.

I always went there for the 11-3 nights, I've never been earlier that to see live bands or anything. The only live stuff I've seen there really was the midweek jazz thing upstairs.

It doesn't take a genius to work out that it's a totally different atmosphere though after 11, Kef was in it's element as a club in that respect.

Sad to hear Kef is closing, i think by far the best time clubbing in Aberdeen was when Kef was Glow 303. From Sat 12th Sep '98 to Fri 24th Nov '00 here is a list of all the guest nights i was at, well the ones i've got flyers for anyway!
