Kobi Bassist Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 As someone that only visits Aberdeen a few times a year, I was wondering who Aberdeen's biggest Alternative Rock band.When I say biggest I mean in terms of drawing decent crowds, also I mean unsigned to a major label as well.

Guest The Tourist Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Uh, last year I would have said Alyssa's Wish/Liber8, but now I don't know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yeah I would have said the same. They were very popular last year but seem to have disappeared somewhat though not completely. I dunno who I would say are the "biggest." There are a number of bands who can draw a good crowd but I wouldn't say any one band is bigger than the other. Put any band in a poor lineup and I don't think the crowd would be that great...might be wrong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hmmm... biggest, i don't know. Best, i'd probably say Eddison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Tourist Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Well actually biggest crowd puller would probably be The X-Certs seeing as they play so few gigs just now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 locally and signed i'd say driveblindit depends where you go, at kef it's probably the x-certs or alyssa's wish, at drummonds bands like AKA the fox and the wildcards get bloody good turnouts...depends on venue as to crowd, although x-certs playing at drummonds might get a good crowd too....i dunno....also depends if they're headlining or playing support. SEA, The Gloria flaw and turning 13 all got good crowds at jetplane landing#s gigit depends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
