Tav Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I liked Liber8. I saw them quite late on in the Liber8 stage and was well impressed...after the name change saw less/heard less/liked less. The CD was/is cool. Specially on the quality side of things.

Dan G Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Ben posting:im afraid JJ you are wrong...I know you were only kidding anyway.I used to go see them when they played to no one in the old drakes and watched it get busier and busier for them. Me and Craig would constantly go on at people to go see Liber8...we actually made it our mission to get them a fan base. I also remember going on and on at Paul Stewart to give em supports cos at the time quik were getting great, busy shows at lava.Im going back a LONG time here. It would literally be quik, whatever band was playing with Liber8 at the old drakes, Katy (kris' then lady friend) and caroline (a friend of the band) watching them...Then the word spread and they were pulling more and more gradually. When they would play lava they would play to no one. And support bands that didnt really pull then when they landed one of the double headline nights by Capdown I knew it would happen...and it did...they became the biggest band in Aberdeen...I was so chuffed. I remember these times fondly. After Liber8 cleaned up at the fudge awards of...oohhh 2002 ? Yeah 2002, Me and Kris decided to have a cheesy style "clash of the titans" show at the old drakes and we wanted an awesome up and coming new band to play then...TEW were awesome that nite as were Quik and Liber8. Kris and I were so close then...I miss that from time to time...Oh well...onwards and upwards...ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest allsystemsfail Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I remember Kris catching a lotta the DIY punk shows at Drakes (then still located in the Castlegate), though after that show with Oi Polloi he kinda disappeared.Yeah, saw Liber8 at that show with Capdown too. As I said, not my kinda thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HARRY Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I liked Liber8, but i only was into the "this is not an exit" stuff, didn't bother with anything elseI was extremely disgusted with the way they were treated within the space of a year; Best Aberdeen band at the Fudge Awards one year, and then Most hated band the nextat's the scene for ya:moody: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First witnessed them laying waste at the first Laurencekirk Fulcrum Challenge gig. Was immense, we played quite a few gigs with them actually around 2001 i think it was, fuckin sound dudes, great tunes. Think the last time i saw them was prolly then they first played Summer or "what it means to be a fish" as someone once called it.'fraid to say AW was certainly not my kettle of fish mind you....

Guest Scorge Spike Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Yes coz that kind of thing happens only in the Aberdeen Music Scene...First witnessed them laying waste at the first Laurencekirk Fulcrum Challenge gig. Was immense' date=' we played quite a few gigs with them actually around 2001 i think it was, [/quote']I thought the Fulcrum gig was 2002, accompanied by FesTr, Quik, Atom, Gu, and the then-inept Taiwan? Perhaps my memory fails me too, though that is the only time I saw Liber8, and I really didn't think much of their music that evening......
