BEST 'EXTREME' ACT POLL 2009 - Fudge Awards

[The Ghost Of Fudge 210]

The Fudge Awards 2009 will be held at The Lemon Tree on Friday 13th February.

As you've surely gathered by now.

It's our ninth annual awards shindig, featuring live music from The Lorelei, Edinburgh's Tyrant Lizard Kings, and another band yet to be confirmed.

There's also an awards ceremony (it's very tounge-in-cheek, don't worry), where we celebrate the best bands in Aberdeen.

Please note: we encourage you to wear suits, tux's, kilts, ballgowns and the like.

It's an awards ceremony, yeah? Think glamour! Glitter! Sequins! Top hats and tails! you get the picture.

We're posting a series of polls online here at aberdeen-music.com where you can vote for your favourites. There will also be voting slips available at Fudge gigs and clubnights (starting with the Black Tooth Rock Lounge at Snafu on monday night).

We'll total all these votes up and announce the winners from the Lemon Tree stage.

Next poll is...

BEST 'EXTREME' ACT 2009?

Let's not get too hung up on the name, people. It could just as easily be the Best Really Heavy Shouty Band Award. 'Extreme' is shorter.

I voted for for that band Enough With The Polls Already.

I haven't checked them out but I'm assuming they are like anal cunt, what with a hilariously racist name such as theirs. What could be more extreme than that.

(personally I think the Polls are doing a great job. I can't understand a word the crazy buggers say, but they are happy to work menial jobs, and do so very efficiently I might add)

No Toxic Distortion?

No Toxic Distortion?

I think you'll find that "most Extreme" doesn't refer to the band that look closest like Extreme.

On that note, I actually listed to (extreme's superb second album) "Pornograffitti" on my way to work this morning.

surely you need a best slap heed award, but you'd no doubt fix it so you won.......

how about best gig of 2009 so far. the oxbow lake orchestra at cafe drummonds?

[Fraser Shredwards 5]

empyrea!

[Kaizen 10]

Your Fears deserve SO much more credit... They have been off the hook lately and were incredible at Drummonds last saturday... They would definately have been my second choice.

Woo Empyrea!

And...big up Montrose!

[Rickicaz1279 3]

empyrea aye

[davewarden 91]

Who the fuck are empyrea?

[Captain America 670]

Why are we bigging up Montrose?

EDIT: Nevermind. I understand now.

[stuartmaxwell 81]

Mon the Mo

[Old Gold 1263]

Your Fears are more extreme than John Wayne Gacy Jr. They have secured my proud vote.

edit: I regret my hasty decision after discovering that Empyrea have a NARRATOR instead of a vocalist. And he's got a name that's not like regular peoples'. Sweet jesus.

Who the fuck are empyrea?

So their Cryspace friends are registering here en masse specifically to vote for them on a Fudge poll?

This alone makes Empyrea rubbish, it doesn't matter what they sound like.
