Jim Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 It isn't just Aberdeen - this shit happens everywhere. It's unfortunate but it's just the way it works. Most touring acts have come to except it at an early stage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stripey Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Aberdeen is just full of philistines, and the music scene that everyone bangs on about is just a load of pish. Fucking small minded yokals without a clue. It's time people started taking things seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"conform or fuck off" isn't an attitude I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Remember though that a lot of people need to get the last bus home or have to be home for whatever time [not that I ever do ] plus people know local bands as they've probably seen them quite a few times or heard mp3s - touring bands are less likely to have been heard before perhaps?I saw Aileen tonight! Harhar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psydoll Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 i agree with sludge here. Ive noticed too that there is a certain group of people that try and get noticed all the time. Its very annoying but what can you do. Even mroe annoying is that I get all the blame for doing that when the only thing I am guilty of posting heaps on hear and going to heaps of gigs.On the whole leaving early thing it is shit when that happens but everyone has a reason. To counter the people who have last buses to catch gigs should be made to start earlier. It really depends on the target audience though.Who are said group of people Camie/Sludge? PM me with who you mean if you must but I only recognise two people at the most that I see at gigs acting like tits and they're not in the same group of freens...

Paulscoconutass Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 This used to annoy me heaps, but now i don't really mind. A few weeks back we played the moorings with no notice and had 2 people come to see us, they didn't even come to the front - but we managed to get a few folk down and even managed to get some 'come dancing' style shizz on the go between a few punters.... It shouldn't matter that much, because i thought one of the 'being in a band ethos' things was to always give 100% if you're playing to 5 or 500, and gigs are generally what you make of them.As for places like moshulu and Kef, i'm nae a big fan of getting my lugs blown off right at the front of El venue; no matter how good the band is... It's no surprise that the best sound is going to be from around where the sound desk is, and if you're at a gig for the music, as opposed to the credibility, you're going to want to hear the best sound of the bands performing.__________________ "What's That Skippy???Onion Terror?FREE FREE FREE King Liar And The Brutes??FREE FREE FREEReal Shocks????Saturday 31st/Moorings/FREE ENTRY???"

rune Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 For me kef is a dead scene, to many mainstream acts that all sound the same.Drakes does provide a good alternative but its beyond my resources to stay for long.Lemon tree now and again has good gigs, whenever a band i really like comes to aberdeen for the most they never come again just because they aint trendy or considered fashionable enough for the pop kiddies.So now i goto glasgow to see the bands i like. I really feel like my taiste in music is being forced out of aberdeen and if i could i would live in glasgow. I will never try to become someone i aint by listening to bands that i dont care about. It would be untrue to myself.I believe in the music and bands i like and i wont change that just so i can become "popular" within the scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aileen Posted July 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Did you see her stand to watch any of the bands playing?that wasnt really the point i was trying to make! in somewhere like drakes the seats are close enough to the stage that the bands arent gonna feel like theyre playing to an empty room, i was pretty much right down the front for broken oath, just didnt stand cos i was scared shitless and still a little hungover. i wasnt expecting to like them, keesher had told me what they were like and to be fair, i didnt really like them, but i stuck around to check them out anyway, it wasnt a case of "oh weapon have finished im gonna fuck off now", thats the kinda mentality i dont like!
