Alan Cynic Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Wow' date=' Sutherland Brothers & Quiver were from Buckie? I never knew that.I think their guitarist Tim Renwick is a sideman for Pink Floyd now. Is he from Buckie too?[/quote']I thought the Sutherland Brothers were from Buckie, but, on checking, Iain was born in Ellon, and Gavin in Peterhead. Tim Renwick was from way down south somewhere.________________________________________________________________________Kitchen Cynics.........................born in Summerhill Maternity Hospital (now demolished) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betamax Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I also love the Swell Maps' date=' and have been on comp.albums with Jowe Head. *cue Jowe Head story* I was once drinking with him before a TVPs gig in Edinburgh, and a slow VERY repetitive three chord ambient thingy came on the jukebox...after about two minutes of it we got into a deep discussion about Terry Riley, Gavin Bryars etc. Then the barman came over, said "That fucking jukebox keeps sticking!", gave it a thump and the tune carried on into some cheerfully bland pop song. We were embarrassed, but not much, as we were both pretty pished._______________________________________________________________________Kitchen Cynics................................aiming for a Me FM session.........................____________________________________________________________________[/quote']I know Nikkis still mates with Jowe. And the other one....Richard Cockerill or something? He got me to post stuff to them a while back. Hes coming over from Berlin later this year.....for a 'greatest hits' tour ...so we are trying to get some scottish dates organised. He will probably do Maps tunes in his set. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!He very kindly offered to produce our LP when he comes over but we were warned off by his own producer who told us we would spend one hour a day recording and the other 23 eating lots of drugs while Nikki was smashing up guitars and the album would sound shit as a result. Hes obviously a genius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 It might still be worth the risk, just for the experience!Have you heard any of the late Epic Soundtracks solo albums. Some of it was very gentle, introspective stuff.................most appealing.________________________________________________________________________Kitchen Cynics....................................booking tickets for Marineville tomorrow!............

Alan Cynic Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Dave.......if you want to get the list of Abdn Peel bands to a round 10, then you could include Momus, as Nick Currie went to University here.________________________________________________________________________Kitchen Cynics.............off to help old ladies cross the road (against their wishes!)........

Cue music.But I bottled it on the advice of a geezer I respect and trust (Jon Rivers....nicest man on the planet !) Do you know him too?I really should get hold of some of Epics stuff. I always liked the gentler maps songs with the toy pianos and thats a few people said his stuff is worth a listen. Probably my favorite Drummer of all time too. Full on - all the time with chaotic fills. That wee rascal Biz has a similar stylee. And isnt dead.

soundian Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Jeez' date=' why didn't I know this? I'd love to see Glen playing drums again. Any idea when they're playing next? Funnily enough I thought I saw Paul in Aberdeen recently too, are they all based back here now?[/quote'] No, Paul has been up a few times in the last year with bands and he normally comes up with Slater around christmas to visit family/friends. He's working in the Barfly in Camden if my hazy memories of the after-gig piss-ups serve me well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue music.:It would have to be renamed "Jim Got Me A Fix"!No, I don't know Jon Rivers. I don't really know Jowe Head either...just had a few drinks with him once, but know a couple of guys who have more contact with him (the Notorious Buss Brothers). They put out comps with TVPs, HeadHunters, and even me. One of the albums had every track introduced by Joe Foster (Slaughter Joe), which was fun!__________________________________________________________________________Kitchen Cynics..................................carry on dreaming your magnificent dreams......
