Alkaline Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Gosh but thats a good idea... or is it, do they have a house pa and is it any good? the last show I caught in there the pa and lights were shit!!Alas, i can't help with the info on the rig in there but i'm sure they would be able to supply you with the necessary info. You could always hire a PA rig i guess, but that could be costly. I dunno, just thinking out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well if your going to be defensive and play the Generation Gap Grumble, then best left to it, I used twa cans and a bit o string etcetc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Do you happen to have a direct phone number for Ben? I can phone a generic number and be passed through to him - I'll give him a chance to read and reply to my e-mail first though. There was a lot of info in the e-mail - I quite like typing it all out to make sure I don't miss anything...!As for Beach Ballroom - possibly worth a PM to kingofdeon on here who's been dealing with the Live @ The Beach gigs - he should have a bit more info about the place.

Blingking Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 one problem with that is they have songs longer that the support slot!!!Maybe that is the problem. I am a fan of a lot of music, but prog is down the list. It would be a good idea to generate interest on the local radio as already mentioned. If there are fans out there they might make the point of coming if they know about it. I was on another website last week and I saw Pallas mentioned on there, and how people in America like them and are still popular in the states etc.As for a Venue, why not try their old stomping ground of the Big G in Peterhead......oh min that's the wrong era!

Guest Motleyal Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Is it true that Pallas were originally called Rainbow, then had to change their name cos Richie Blackmore pinched it?My uncle's missus did the artwork for the "arrive alive" album. (i think it was the album, may have been the single)Getting back to the topic at hand, I'd say the lemon tree or the forum. Where did Hedgehog Pie play when they did their reunion shows? That could be a possible marker for Pallas. I'd also get in touch with Brian Scott who does the Friday Burn Up show on Shmu FM, he plays Pallas a lot and would drum up publicity.

Graeme Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I wonder why nobody's suggested the Warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the band would be excited to make contact with her after all these years.G... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I wonder why nobody's suggested the Warehouse.I'd hazard a guess that a band trying to attract fans from 20 years ago to a comeback gig wouldn't be best to play at Warehouse.It would really need to be at a place like Lemon Tree or Beach Ballroom where the old fans can instantly associate with. (In my opinion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well I like Pallas and would love to finally see them live afetr all this time There certainly aren't many Abverdeen bands who were signed to EMI, played Reading etc and for that fair play to them If you get it organised put me down for a couple of tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I saw them back in the Rainbow/early Pallas days, and was once on an obscure local album with Niall guesting on 1 track. Although not my cup of tea, I might still haul the old carcass along for old times' sake. I think Graeme's shout of the Warehouse isn't bad actually (although I've always enjoyed the odd gig at the Beach Ballroom, from Beggar's Opera to Primal Scream) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I enjoyed them a lot, but I was biased, as I was a big fan at the time. I still occasionally dig out their albums for a spin. I wasn't so keen on 'Waters of change' though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
