TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I blame the "Aberdeen Sound" which the world can't handle. But, I might be wrong. Lack of a bassist, for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 a propos de rien (except the last post)... I met a nice psych-folk loving couple here in new york who when they learned I was from scotland their first question was. Do you know 'The Kitchen Cynics'? I think that qualifies as 'made it' Think the Americans get hoodwinked by the 'Let's Go' travel guidebooks, which has this bizarre paragraph on page 495... 'In the 1970s and 80s, Scotland has played a significant role in the development of popular music, launching The Rezillos, The Skids, Average White Band, Glasgow's Orange Juice, Edinburgh's Josef K, and the record label Postcard, which favored Byrdsy guitar chimes and winsome coy-boy singers. Although mainstream rock claimed popularity during the early 90s, producing groups like The Wake, The Proclaimers and Aberdeen's Kitchen Cynics, Scottish punk rages once again. Slampt and Vesuvius record labels promote Scottish bands, including the suggestively named Yummy Fur and Lung Leg, while the quiet folk-rock of Belle and Sebastian wails throughout Edinburgh and Glasgow.' Let's maistream rawwwwwwk, guys! Bagsy the red snapper! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Maybe thats the problem, Lockah has dominated the internet, Kitchen Cynics have started dominating America, Akord and Semperfi are taking over the UK and Ascension have a world wide grip on the music industry. There is just nothing left for the rest of us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Somebody actually paid for a Sidca download and I got ALL emotional. I'm sorry. Sidca better not be splitting up. Plenty of bands from around here seem to do alright. Certainly not Nickleback-esque levels of fame mind you but there's plenty of folk making a name for themselves. Idlewilds drummer is from Macduff for instance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaOfEnergy Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 because there's always someone in the band who works offshore? I think that's mainly an Aberdeen problem! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is deffo an explanation. fond memories of steve drinkin whisky and smookin weed outside drummonds. great guy, but aberdeen shit city for bands.XXsteamin'That's the spirit! I'm sure that the live stream (dry sound straight off the PA) over Youtube really did the experience of being in the Lemon Tree last night justice. Everyone that I spoke to really enjoyed it and it reminded all of us of what Aberdeen gigs can be like, certainly what they used to be like. Loads of bands, all completely different, on one bill and having a great time. 500 people packed into a sold-out Lemon Tree to remember Steve - the atmosphere was incredible but you want to take a massive dump on it based on what you saw on a live stream? You are the reason aberdeen bands fail. Cool story about standing outside Drummonds one time btw; touching stuff. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yeah exactly, well said. No need for shite like that. FWIW the sound over the stream was decent, considering. A bit dry yes, but still very good. A brilliant idea, more bands and venue's should be doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
