Graham Knight Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I have just come from a very successul show by Aberdeen Indie band - The Marionettes.A Wednesday may be an odd night for a gig but The Marionettes had quite a crowd for their latest show in town.Fresh from a week long tour tour that encompassed dates all over Scotland, the band were obviously well rehearsed and had a very appreciative audience.The Marionettes are a five piece band that is led by vocalist Paddy Buchan and they are fairly driven along by their pile-driving drummer - watching him play is a show in itself.Paddy Buchan has some good humourous linking material between numbers, even asking for a drink of Sprite halfway through. The roadie who went to get the drink was engaged in a funny bit of banter with Paddy having to produce the money to pay for it:).Best number of the night for me was an original composition called "Shrinking Violets". The whole band worked well and Paddy leapt about even more than the last time I saw them at the Lemon Tree.The Marionettes deserve to be playing bigger places.www.aberdeen-music.com/threads/marionettes-baad-sessions.52968/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
