Rob Karloff Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 People are quick to trash Bradley, it seems.In what little dealings we've had with him, he treated us just fine. When we played the Student Union and they tried to not pay us anything, he spoke to the management and secured us 50.On his deal with Starfall, despite the hype and all that surrounds it, he still appears to do a LOT more real, tangible work for the band he says he manages than any of the other would-be band "managers" on the local scene. Thus far, Starfall have played more dates outwith Aberdeen than some "scene" bands I could name both present and past. That said, I don't get why band members can't manage themselves... It's not like any of us just don't have the time, is it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 i have to agree with Rob here, the fact remains that whatever you think of Starfall, Mr Bradley or even indeed their music, they're getting out there doing gigs in far off places. That takes a lot of organisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 that sounds like a perfectly valid explanation to mesound like no one is at fault and maybe Tronn expected too much....especially as Dave is Starfalls manager and not their managerjust shows how shitty rumours can startaye quite, like my alleged drink problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig deadenstereo Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Any dealings we have had with Dave have been fine, and he has also tried to be fair over money with us, both with Starfall and when he was at Aberdeen union. PLus, I get on quite well with the chap....Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plato the Greek Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Aren't Starfall thin creepy kids? I don't know. My opinions are based around the fact that Dave Bradley is their father. Dave Bradley is evil but has a fascinating face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plato the Greek Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 If you wear black you are tough, like Guitar Wolf. Starfall are my new favourite band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tristen Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 For the record I was also there when it happened. Tronn have no real right to talk as they *forgot* to apply for work permits and were exported. Not very professional. It also threw a major spanner in the works of the Starfall tour which was setting off that very morning and nearly buggered stuff up for Starfall too. Not too suprising if they were left our of further touring with that level of unprofesionalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
