Guest idol_wild Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Why do people still consider The Xcerts to be an Aberdeen band?They are based in Brighton now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indie King Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Well, they're still from Aberdeen, and they play in Aberdeen quite a lot. It says on their myspace Aberdeen/Exeter.It's just a name to put forward, I'm sure the Fudge guys have their rules and if they aren't classed as Aberdeen, they won't be nominated.

I don't see what all the fuss is about, I find them pretty average.To be honest - it's not like it's fuss.It's just that the vast majority of other guitar-based bands in Aberdeen are either exceptionally average, derivitive, generic, or just not very good.Copy Haho are above average, so they stand out.

I haven't seen them either, but none of the songs on their myspace are convincing me to go to their next gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what all the fuss is about, I find them pretty average.I seen them once - didnt really know what to think of them.....they looked like agitated young loons in their dad's clothes...!!! Wasn't bad at all and that song i hear about "shit on a shoe" or something is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some pretty good ones on the go just now IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(for example)They have a certain similarity about them (IMO) but saying that alot of the metal stuff sounds the same as x band and Y band etc. Not that much of scope for "origanal" sounds now i guess (again total imo..)

I don't see a problem with sounding similar to other bands in the same genre, so long as it's good fucking tunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I didn't vote it, but in retrospect, The Moorings is probably the most ideal place to hold the event. The attendances have dwindled, so the number of people likely to attend would look better in The Moorings than The Tunnels, Snafu, or The Lemon Tree.Plus, it's where all the Fudge gigs are held pretty much!Plus...ADDLESTONES!Ironically it's likely that more people would be present (attend is too strong a word) if it was at the Moorings because there's lots of people show up regardless of what's on... but let's face it, most of them wouldn't be able to discern the Fudge Awards from a chili eating contest. Nudity would be virtually guaranteed though *COUGH* which doesn't really fit the black tie template of the Fudge Awards.Half of the Fudge gigs are at Snafu so that might be a reasonable compromise in terms of space/attendance, but only if it were available for a Saturday night.the number of people likely to attend would look better in The Moorings than The Tunnels, Snafu, or The Lemon Tree.As an complete aside, although it's hard to fathom (even my own eyes are deceived), in terms of space we rank 3rd on that list.

Guest idol_wild Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 no pasaran split up? wha?i thought they were still going in edinburgh. They have relocated, but I miss them more than any Aberdeen act ever. Apart from Golden-era Dedalus (Steven, Rob, Dave, Al - but I think they should be shifted to another category - Most Underchieving Act. I don't mean that as a diss; they just had the songs and the sounds to really achieve something).Pasaran have started a new life in Edinburgh where people actually go to their gigs.
