Best: Zane Lowe's DJ set after the Glasvegas gig on the Gonzo tour last year, and the Graham Coxon gig, and supporting Hayseed Dixie to a (I'm guessing) 300 strong crowd, and the crowd actually digging us...

Worst: Supporting The Law at short notice. We had 1 person there we knew and I swear he was the only one that clapped during our set. In our final song, nobody clapped cos our mate had gone for a piss. Soul destroying.

I got very drunk last night and proceeded to recite '

It doesn't work as a chatup line

Best: Far too many good gigs, probably Blackout, From First To Last, We Are The Ocean and The Medic Droid... that was an amazing show. or the shikari show years ago where about 30 people turned up. or electric eel shock. or saosin. or alexisonfire, or flood of red, or... i could go on forever really, all teh best times there were just seing amazing bands.

Worst Probably the multiple leg and ankle injuries from slipping down the stairs, mostly while sober :down: or the time a few years ago when i missed my last bus on a satarday night and ended up walking home to ellon, that fucking SUCKED.

Also, I remember hearing a few years back that Aberdeen Uni (and possibly RGU too) nominate a club to be the unoffical union, seeing as there isn't one. Liquid has always been a favourite (for some unfathomable reason) but I heard The Tunnels was nominated as the 'alternative' venue. If Moshulu/Warehouse/whatever can catch that gravy train in time for freshers week, that could work out nicely.

If I remeber rightly, Liquid paid off AUSA to be nominated as the 'union' - there was quite a big fuss at the time over it, because they didn't advertise anywhere else. Lousy thing for AUSA to accept, as Liquid ended up getting hundreds of gullible students decending on them that week and people tend to stay quite loyal for a while.

I cannot believe that the building has been empty for so long.

Yeah I was just reading an old thread about it from 2007. I'm sure there was talk of it turning into a casino but nothing's ever come of it. I heard rumours that it's totally fucked inside, all dry rot and literally crumbling and basically just needs demolished.

I had no idea Tucker Max posted on this site. Dude, your new movie looks AWESOME. It makes me feel bad for refreshing your website every day disappointedly, hoping for a new story about the time you totally insulted this fat chick and then fucked some bitch with 3 legs.

Is that the place by the beach, how long ago did it close?

Must have been around 2001/2002 I would say. It used to be really good back in 98-99, it was Scotland's biggest nightclub, it had 4 bars and comfortably held a few thousand people. It was basically packed out the door like 5 nights a week. And then in the space of about a year it just nose-dived alarmingly and ended up shutting down amidst rumours of only being able to pull in crowds of about 20 people.

Monday night used to be all student anthems, cheap drinks and free entry and was really popular. They ran a bus from the halls of residence which was a stroke of genius. Thursdays was 70s night, c/w with cheesy disco music, and live dancers. Friday and Saturday were mostly chart and dance stuff. Any of those nights you would expect to queue for 45-60 minutes to get in, the queue would be right up past the bingo hall. It was a really really fun club, lots going on, and they even had a Sizzlers INSIDE the club!

I was in just before the end and it was totally different, it was all just chav anthems and hardcore dance, it was horribly expensive, empty, dirty and most of the folk that were in were really young, and it just had an air of intimidation about it. I never enjoyed it at all after that and it went bust a few months later.

Having seen it from the outside heeps of times it does just look horrible, can't believe they still have the sign up and stuff, obviously no one even wants to buy it. Although if it can hold as many people as you say, would make a perfect venue size for some bigger bands to come up here once in a while that maybe around big enough to play AECC.

25000 sq feet according to this. Dunno what that is in terms of capacity like. Where's Flash when you need him? It was fucking huge inside anyway.

New plans for Aberdeens Amadeus - Evening Express

Don't bother buying it!

Just create a business plan for this exciting venture and whisk yourselves onto Dragon's Den. Bannatyne runs casinos and I'd imagine he likes women, beer and football. Winner.

You could also kill two birds with one stone and punch Peter Jones in the face while for doing those awful comparison site adverts

the sports union accepted a sponsorship deal after the deals with amadeus and the union went tits up and the money that had been budgeted to sports clubs wasnt there. Liquid stepped in (siezing an opportunity but also helping the SU out).

The money gained from the sponsorship was directly funding sports teams within the Uni. The SA had nothing to do with this deal. it happened in the year when I was in charge of the sailing club/team

nobody was forced to go there, all that happened was we were given tickets each week to sell and on every ticket sold we got 1. We had negotiated a good sponsorship deal with the Blue Lamp and generally stuck there until 12 for good prices / free reign and then went to many different places.

Amadeus was fucking laldy back in the day, I have some great memories of the place. I worked on the team who organised and promoted the mondays and wednesday student nights, anyone mind chesney hawkes? I actually ended up performing with the band that night. We used to get used a judges in modelling contests and all sorts of things which included free booze and good times!

I'm glad Moshulu's getting a refurb - its just too dark and dingy as for the carpet ... yuck!!

Never really been much of a fan of Moshulu, preferred it years ago when I first came through to Aberdeen but I think it was maybe down to the people I was in there with - Best memories would be New Year 2006 - me and my flatmates ended up in there after being at the Castlegate, atmosphere was immense.

Worst ... some of the last times I was in there - think it was a Friday night. Think I only recognised one song that played, the carpet was in its full sticky glory, it took ages to get served at the bar and the place was crammed full of girls wearing bondage gear, - it was the beginnings of me giving Moshulu the swerve.
