Guest calumunderkills Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Surely the best ever gig has to be the Dykeenies last year..........Probably because it was the only time The Underkills played there!!That's my favourite memory of Kef anyway!I remember going to watch my mate's band Rescue Party supporting some American band I hadn't heard of a couple of years ago. Didn't even go downstairs when the main band was on.Turned out it was We Are Scientists!! My ticket cost 5 and I didn't even watch them - that will haunt me forever..... It would have been ace to watch them in a venue like Kef!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I am going there to see Slaves To Gravity next Friday, my last visit to Kef. Seen a fair few good bands there though unless you walked passed and saw a poster you never knew what was going on there. There are quite a few gigs booked for May so I am wondering if these have now been rebooked or the bands are unaware of the situation?

Le Stu Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Its not really underground, as that whole Patagonian Steps bit is built up: Clarification CornerI suppose that doesn't make it so weird that it's being turned into hotel rooms.It's still weird.Anyway, to chip in something on topic, I had a blast when Grooverider spun rekkeds there, back in the day.

Cloud Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 My happiest memory of Kef is of a gig where some absolutely terrible only-on-the-bill-to-sell-tickets band were playing, and giving them a hell of a lot of stick for being absolutely terrible. Giving them hell in front of their 'fans' (read : neds) and nearly reducing their 'singer' to tears was quite possibly one of the funniest/worst things I've ever done. Being threatened by a bunch of kids to "shut up or else" was also bloody funny.I only wish I could remeber who I was actually there to see...

jf9tp2wd40 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 what are the last gigs and clubnights gunna be at kef? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Lat night's playground was fucking awesome, but questions should be raised about the bouncers at Kef. Two of my mates were thrown out for apparently smashing glasses (which they didn't do at all), and then when a few other mates spoke to them ouotside, the bouncer wouldn't let them back in either.Fucking disgrace.

Guest calumunderkills Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 That's what you get for automatically ignoring bands that aren't hip and established.Being in a band myself, I don't as a general rule ignore bands who aren't hip and established! It was just the way that night panned out - a load of folk I hadn't seen or spoke to for ages were upstairs chatting and drinking and we just kind of forgot to go downstairs when they were on!Gutted I didn't see them properly though!

Guest Giles Walker Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 So did anyone here go last night then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Brown Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Pretty gutted it's closing to be honest, I go pretty much every week. It's about the only half decent club in Aberdeen, other than maybe Snafu. But tbh Snafu doesn't do a lot for me other than the fact they sometimes get good djs like Erol Alkan and Vitalic. I don't really pretend to be a connaisseur of dance/dj'ing etc but generally I liked what I heard at Kef. And it sure as hell beats the listening to a rundown of the top 40 in Priory, Pearl Lounge or Liquid. I might just stay away from clubs completely now. Aberdeen is fucking shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
