The Aberdeen music scene?

Recommended Posts

Instead of pissing everybody off on this forum (apologies), and due to the fact I'm incredibly bored and without a vagina to pound into, what do you lot think of the music scene around here?

My band are into pwoper bands and that mod/rock/swagger/tunes vibe but whenever we head to Toms' for a quick jam, all you hear is 15 year old screamo bands that hand in a microphone covered in blood.

Does any of you agree that the Aberdeen music scene right now is just indie arctic monkeys wannabes and teen screamo-I've-shagged-the-dog-and-slit-my-dick-off bands?

 how many times do you practice at toms? none the less id like to point out the following to you;

 

  1. think before you write on here as it's becoming quite offensive especially when your saying "15 year old screamo bands that hand in a microphone covered in blood" so your basically calling them emo's? now that's not very nice is it

 

      2. i know barely any people around my age that can even afford to practice at captain toms, its like a luxury to us.

 

      3. ive played in a band for quite a while now.we have played 1 arctic monkeys song.

 

      4. your sexual remark are not funny nor make you manly it consistently concedes to make you an ever bigger cunt.

We actually have so many lad/indie/mod/rock bands that we have to cull them once a year in order to protect the palpably abstract concept of music from further abuse. Don't worry, come the summer they will start sprouting again and you won't be able to move for bad hair, cagoules and Epiphone Casinos.

 

If you like basic rock, check out the Black Heartbeats, they are fucking terrible.

Oi! I appreciate a good tobacco sunburst epiphone casino! You're right, they are fucking disgraceful! I'd say the mod scene are way different to the indie scene. The indie scene wear h and m tank tops and play squier bullet stratocasters. Target 5 are the dogs bollocks! I recommend seeing them!

Moon Moon is turning into Jake, he's just doing it at an accelerated rate.

Seriously man, your acting like a small dog protecting your territory, barking at anything that goes past, but not actually doing anything when someone is in front of you. We need new people to visit the site to keep it getting stale, we may not agree with everything they say initially, but we will accept them eventually (your visa is still held up by you saying stupid shit).

Back on topic mods and indie bands, screamo and the state of the the scene in the 'deen ( I'm off to smack a wet fish round my head for using that).

So what's your views on the music of the mighty 'deen? That's my opinion, there are no right or wrong opinions here. Just wanted to hear other peoples thoughts!

If that's all you think it is then you're not looking hard enough, very simple, there's solo musicians like Jo McCafferty and Alan Cynic, pop bands, country bands like the Malpaso Gang, there is variety and if you're not seeing it then you're being lazy and not looking.

You actually want my thoughts?  OK.  I think that you don't try hard enough to find the music you seek, because in my experience, it's way more varied in Aberdeen than the rather dismal picture you paint in your thread opener.  Last Saturday I played at Drummonds with FaR in a lineup with an indie band and an electronica duo.  Then I went to see some friends in their soul covers band for a bit.  The week before I was at a new venture - an opera night, kinda like an opera's greatest hits.  There's all types of music out there for those willing to seek it out.

 

Hell, in my opinion it's more varied than what you describe at Toms.
