The Ghost Of Fudge

Recommended Posts

Saturday 17th September at the Moorings Bar, Fudge Aberdeen present:

VAKUNOHT.

Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More

02.10.2041 - miners working in the remote Chukotka region in north east Russia have unearthed the voice data recorder (VDR) that belonged to the space vessel Vakunht designated Missing in Service since lines of communication were disengaged on 30.10.37. The VDR unit is returned to the Gagarins Start launch site at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for assessment.

The Vakunht vessel was... launched with a crew of four cosmonauts - as required by Venusian legislative notice 5.9d - from an earth parking orbit on 04.02.2037, setting out on what should have been a routine 120 day reconnaissance procedure to make studies of the Venusian atmosphere, and other phenomena associated with the planet Venus - as the Venera 7 spacecraft had set out to do when it was launched in 1970.

The VDRs distorted transcripts are delivered in both Russian and English including a seldom heard dialect from the Alba quadrant of the UK- and although badly damaged, with data being delivered in a random sequence, scientists at the site have managed to extract a limited quantity of vital information. This includes details of sentient parasitic insect like creatures, crew suffering from severe emotional breakdown (including suicide), hostile aliens amassing an attack force and, a sexual encounter with an intelligent cephalopod.

Once extracted, this data is handed to a team of experienced cultural interpreters based in an underground space laboratory in Dalmarnock - located in the G40 sector of Alba who undertake the Vakunht review project. Codename, Gagarins Start. Their mission is to translate the endeavours of the Vakunht vessels bold crew into a tonal libretto, using whatever means necessary, that will allow future generations to pay homage to the brave efforts of the four heroic Russian cosmonauts.

LONGHORN

Longhorn | Facebook

Five chaps from Edinburgh who play stoner-rock-doom-metal, and only

kneel before "the mighty powers of the Bull God". I hope you get the idea,

because the new material's sounding kickass.

WHICH WAY NOW

Which Way Now | Facebook

"Which Way Now hit the stage next with a thunderous start that didnt let

up until the last note. With a female singer (Heather) keeping things ticking

over these guys produced the best of the night by a long way. Blistering

guitar solos that put the other bands guitar sound to shame. These guys are

not another Paramore, thank God.... think hard rock with a nod to classic rock

that just happens to have a hot female vocalist. Please come back soon."

- Aberzine review

First act onstage 9pm, second act onstage 10pm. 18+ only.

Plus! Alt.Karaoke host DJ Lucifer's rotating monthly clubnight

Fudge Aberdeen presents:

EVIL BLOOD

Formed during the Motorhead/Venom era of the early 80s in

Split, Croatia (then part of Yugoslavia), the band enjoyed a

huge following in Croatia, the U.K. and worldwide - some

have even suggested Evil Blood were the first thrash metal

band, as from 82-83 noone could match their speed and

ferocity. They’re now based a little closer to the bar, luckily.

www.myspace.com/evilbloodthrashmetal

SCHILTRON

Named after a battle-formation and playing NWOBHM style

songs “with various themes from Jacobites to surfing on

dragon's eyes”, you’ll soon catch their history-rock fever.
