Guest deprofundis Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Prelude to the Hunt and Absolutist are my favourites at the minute! Great Bands! Absolutely fantastic live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Curators (Edinburgh) are well worth checking out.Why thank you!Off the top of what's been said already, I'd add in Taking Chase, Shields Up, Cancel The Astronauts and Penguins Kill Polar Bears. There are doubtless more I've forgotten too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 No idea if they still exist, but when I was doing a bit of promotion a band from Glasgow called "You Can't Eat The Word Food" sent me their album and it was pretty fucking good actually. Pop-tastic in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diarmaid Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 What ever happened to Toy? I fucking loved Toy. They were great. Good bands: Turning Thirteen, Curators and El Dog from Glasgow are the shizz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHand Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I've not been going out to a lot of gigs recently but planning on changing that in the coming months. This is a good idea for a thread, needs to be brought up regularly just to remind folk groups are out there working hard. I still like a singular location for hearing about local bands which is really my main reason for looking on here regularly, oh yeah and the equipment forum and maybe for the funny pictures thread for the occasional laugh. I have also found some excellent musical collaborations through the networking forum too. So actually, for me, there are elements of this site that are still relevant over social networking sites.Having posted up some tracks and gotten almost no response other than a few people who already knew about them before posting, there seemed like little point in going to the effort but then realised that I'm crap for feeding back thoughts as much as anyone. I made a point the other day of leaving some sort of feedback on several posts for the tracks I'd listened too in that forum. I actually found something good in most of them, even genres I would normally avoid. Having said that, lack of feedback could be down to the genre putting people off listening to my stuff, I'd normally avoid anything with Metal in the thread title so expect most people are the same when they see jazz/funk/hiphop.It's good to make the time to respond after listening, even if it is a "meh... yeah that was ok". Any sort of constructive response can be beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHand Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 What ever happened to Toy? I fucking loved Toy. They were great. Good bands: Turning Thirteen, Curators and El Dog from Glasgow are the shizz.I can't remember the name of their group but the lead singer from Toy and, I think, Kimmy Reizeger from this forum have an acoustic duo that are pretty damn good! Anyone know the name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get lost Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I guess it can be a bit dick-feeling inducing. But if noone gives any feedback it's an entirely useless exercise.The 'scene' here is too big to really get a grasp of. There's about a million different niche scenes. There's a noise festival this wknd for example and they're expecting thousands to turn up. Basically anything has a good turnout and a strong following. Not been to a single empty gig. The hip-hop is incredible here. It's a cliche but you can feel it in the air, hip hop culture just permeates through everything in Brooklyn. Well, certain parts anyway.Williamsburg up the road is some next level hipster paradise. Trendy bands aplenty. Funnily enough, the more gigs I go to the more i've come to realise how important scottish music is. You speak to a lot of people and they often cite scottish bands as their favourites.Turning 13 would love a gig in Brooklyn, even just for the holiday..

I think it's that I don't feel I'm qualified to, yet I want people to comment on my stuff.I'm going to look for your stuff and have a listen.

ca_gere Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Turning 13 would love a gig in Brooklyn, even just for the holiday..That would be quality. I could easily sort it out if you're serious. Although I can't even begin to imagine the ball-ache betting equipment over, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Deportees are a really strong local band but I'm yet to hear a recording that does them justice. Absolutely brilliant live though. I especially enjoy them after a few pints and a fatty.Thanks man. Hopefully our new single will do us justice! It's out on the 4th July, and should hopefully be available to stream next week. Carson Wells and Copy Haho are probably the two bands at present that I would make an effort to go and see. Turning 13 too, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Why thank you Aren't Hideous split now Jake has moved?They're on the bill for Slaughterfest IIRC, so I'd guess they've gone part time. davidm might be able to clear that one up.Glad Filthpact are back up and running. Wish that Strobing Goat and Sidca still were, but you can't win them all! Thrashist Regime are a good laugh live, got time for Carson Wells and Min Diesel too.I don't get to see too many gigs nowadays either, mind.

Soda Jerk Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I just don't go to enough gigs, but as far as what I've heard recording-wise, I dig Carson Wells, Min Diesel, Seas Starry, KCHGH, Absolutist and Copy Haho. I really liked Uncalm too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Scene? Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Alright folks,I've only recently returned to the area after about 3 years away, so I'm not that up to speed with what's going on. What I can do though is recommend a couple of bands that supported the successful Lucid Dream gig the other week.The Carousels are followers of country music and The Byrds etc. Their three piece harmonies and Rickenbacker sound were really really good. Check out their new single here:Call Along The Coast by thecarousels on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for freeAlso, check out His Name Is Codeine, who arguably stole the show at The Lucid Dream gig. Mega praise was heaped their way and rightly so. Intense, dark, menacing sound. Think The Black Angels with a female vocalist. They've really stepped up their game. Unbelievably good. Check them out here:HIS NAME IS CODEINE | Elgin, UK | Alternative | Music, Lyrics, Songs, and Videos | ReverbNationKeith's obviously nae just got Chivas Regal to be proud of...!!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
