neepheid Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 What was the reason Drakes closed down?A particularly nasty fart with a sufficiently long half life to render it unusable for a (scene) generation.In other words - I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOX Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Youngsters are dickheads. I think there's a massive gap in the market in Aberdeen for a civilised small venue that puts on an interesting eclectic mix of bands. Like Drakes but solvent.Liiiiiike Musa?

FOX Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Is that nae like a wee coffee shop place? I'm sure I've been there-Aye, it's a Cafe on Exchange Street. Used to have a promoter based there and held lovely acoustic gigs from like Withered Hand and Last Battle and shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 More non-existing local scene goings on: local producer Yoin signs EP deal with London label Squelch & Clap & a booking agency deal followed shortly after. Big up Yoin!Another thing that didn't happen is that Dolfinz announced a February tour with PAWS & a 4 track tape release on their record label, CATH . Well done Dolfinz!

Scootray Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 There's still weedy looking boys going about in girly skinny jeans, so I would assume there's still a scene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJ819 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I left these boards almost 8 years ago, and now I'm back.What happened to all the bands and musicians that were on the go back then, our scene just died.I have kept playing in bands and going to shows, but it was like one night our city was raped of our scene.I remember all the awesome halloween shows and christmas shows, all the parties we would have.Has everyone grown up, and forgot who they are?Hi, I'd just like to say that the music scene in Aberdeen is still very much alive, you just need to know where to look. Aside from aberdeen-music.com, which has been a great tool for the Aberdeen music scene for a long time and will continue to be, the Aberdeen Bands project has taken off in the past six months and was founded to help all local musicians and bands get more coverage in the area. There are so many cliques and 'scenes' in Aberdeen which is great! Not everyone is going to like all of the bands in Aberdeens, the articles that are on the site or even the shows we put on. However, the Aberdeen Bands project will give every single clique and scene a chance to spread their word. If you're in a band and want an article/interview/spotlight written about you, just drop me an email, I don't favour anyone over anyone else. Check out this site, it's early days but eventually 99% of bands in Aberdeen and the Northeast will get a full profile. www.aberdeenbands.comtom@abzmusic.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 There are no small venues for DIY/punx-y sort acts though. Cellar 35 is a no no when the music is of a certain... heaviness, shall we say. We've resorted to putting on shows in our practice space as The Tunnels/Drummonds/Musa/Snafu – whilst all decent venues – just don’t cater to our needs. The practice space shows sound great, and are great, but there are huge problems. A) we don’t have a toilet, so if you have to pee or poo you have to go outside and round a corner to an alley way or down the road a bit to The Noose and Monkey; and B) the only way to fully shut the door is to lock it, and it can’t be left open as we have neighbours who would get sad, therefore we have to lock everyone in during sets, or at least while bands are playing songs. We also aren’t really meant to make a racket after 10pm. We really need a Cellar 35-esque venue in Aberdeen that will put on our racket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Too much strange lad banter going on about this band of a million names. Put up some songs, or shut up. Posers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some horrible scummy room above a bowling alley and beneath another bowling alley, with penetrating damp and stains all over the floors and walls, big enough to hold 60 people and a fuckload of horrid noise. For the punx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
