If you know this band already, you'll know they're LOUD as heck. If you don't know them already, you will soon learn that they're LOUD as heck. After never having been able to catch them in Aberdeen, I saw them in London in September and they blew me away. Mostly instrumental, except for the occasional blast of screams, these guys are not to be missed.FB: http://www.facebook.com/manatees.ukLISTEN: http://www.facebook.com/manatees.uk/app_178091127385SLEEPING LESSONSanother english band for the bill. formerly known as Tides, these guys hail from Cheltenham.

PLEASE BRING ID.Also, this is the first gig of it's kind at The Carlton in recent history, and I think if this goes well, they'd be receptive to more Punk/DIY gigs so please be respectful of the venue when you're there, and hopefully if we get enough people through the door, we can keep doing gigs there. Aberdeen desperately needs a new medium sized venue and with a 140 cap, The Carlton *might* be a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsten Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 When Manatees played the Tunnels in 2010, several of us earplugless fools listened from behind the door of Tunnel 1. Godspeed You! The Carlton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest E.C Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 greg was saying they dont play as loud as they used to anymore.european venues and their decibel limits took their toll over the years.also, the manager of the carlton assures me that "noise isn't a problem" so *hopefully* they'll still be saying that post-gig.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I for one am really hoping that this is an excellent gig, as I like excellent gigs the best and it would be great if the Carlton proved to be an alternative mid sized venue.

Soda Jerk Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I just realised which pub The Carlton is. I forgot all about that place. I used to watch football there when I first moved up here before I had the internet as they're all Liverpool fans, so they were the only place I knew of showing English football over SPL. Is there a room upstairs or something? I can't imagine a gig in there otherwise.Everytime I went there, there was always loads of dogs in there. It was ace.CSB.

Guest E.C Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Manatees have just emailed me to say they are cancelling their Scottish weekender, and as such, they won't be playing this gig. I am absolutely gutted, but I'm pretty happy with the bill and I am working to find a new headliner that will top this lineup off nicely. STAY TUNED.

Guest E.C Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 SLEEPING LESSONS unfortunately had to pull out of this, so I'm just running it as a 4-band bill, BUT if another band would like to play - I can easily make that happen.

I don't know if any of you guys are attending, but it'd be really nice if you could, if not for me/the other bands, but to persuade the Carlton that punk gigs are something they could heavily benefit from.
