lovers_spit Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Yeah I would say the xcerts are above and beyond anyone else but they arent local since they moved down to Brighton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niall (TGF) Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 My vote would go to Copy Ha Ho as the best around just now. Saw them in London a few months ago and they were great.Best ever? There was a period when I was at school in Moray when Aberdeen seemed to be the place where loads of exciting music as happening - Purple Munkie (I know strictly an Elgin/Forres band), Nero, Maple, Deadloss Superstar. Almost seems like a different time now - it was well before myspace, bebo, webs forums, etc.Special mention to Hookers Green No.1 and Dedalus (though without me playing in them!) - they were both brilliant too.N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartmaxwell Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 PM - yeah!the fisty ep was incredible, I re-purchased it a few months back. Still listened to regularly. What a band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 After seeing them on Thursday night, I think that Copy Haho are the best local band at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTickingTime-Bomb Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 After seeing them on Thursday night, I think that Copy Haho are the best local band at the moment.I seen them when I was at a random drunken barn dance a while back. They were all a bit pissed and took forever to set up/tune, but when they started playing I loved them. Apart from that I've seen them at Tunnels and they were pretty good aswell.They do however, sound a lot like Pavement.Hmmm, maybe thats a good thing though...?Meh.

Old Gold Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 After seeing them on Thursday night, I think that Copy Haho are the best local band at the moment.I wholeheartedly agree. They were magnifico.And I'd argue that sounding a bit like Pavement would be a great compliment to receive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 purple munkie were fucking amazing. They were probably the band that got me into local music to begin with, Queens Of is still an absolute belter of a song.I remeber feeling absolutely let down by Fickle Public though...there was something not quite there with them, and I still don't know what it was to this day.The X-Certs are and were my favourite Aberdeen band, but The Gloria Flaw and Dedalus weren't far off.Kitchen Cynics for sheer storytelling (which is what all music should do, in my opinion...), and finally worthy mentions to The Upstarts and Stroszek.And finally...Volvo Death Spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall (TGF) Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 too kind!maple - hi fi audio maintenance 2004No problem sir! I guess I'm looking back a bit with rose tinted specs (doing that more and more these days!), but the tunes still definately stand up. That was a great really era of local talent - exciting for a young buck forming his first bands.Very flattered to see people mentioning TGF and F/A. Another couple of eras (spanning Xcerts, We Become Less, Turning13, Allysha's Wish, Small Enclosed Area, Dedalus, Eric Euan, 10 Easy Wishes, Right Hand Left, Kartta), but some really great music then too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to pick a favourite really, simply because of seeing so many good gigs by the bands on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMike! Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Copy Haho, Kitchen Cynics, No Pasaran and, if they were still going, Hookers Green. Are they still going? Will the second album ever see the light of day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbroken Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Copy Haho, Clearer The Sky, Ablach and some others i can't think of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTickingTime-Bomb Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I heard some great drumming coming from a room in Musical Vision (room 5 I reckon) on tuesday. I think it was Contra. I've never seen them, but if that was indeed them then I'd definitely like to see them live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbroken Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Ross from Contra is by far one of the best drummers Aberdeen has to offer. I'd love to play in a band with him again. He is like a well oiled super machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
