The Ghost Of Fudge Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 IT IS TIME, ONCE MORE, FOR FUDGE'S ABERDEEN MUSIC AWARDS. We'll be awarding trophies across a number of categories. The winners will attempt to gargle their appreciation live onstage at Krakatoa, on Saturday 27th February at our no-expense-spared live awards ceremony - best dealt with via the medium of tequila. It's all very tongue-in-cheek, but we encourage you all to get dressed up in suits, kilts and ballgowns anyway. Heckling is rife, and the speeches are usually shambolic. Crowd participation in terms of cheering and jeering is mandatory. Three bands will play too, lest we forget. This year, we've got the incomparible spectacle of DEPECHE CHOAD, the sprightly modern sounds of LENIN DEATH MASK, and shiny indie-rock newcomers WENDELL BORTON. BEST VENUE 2016 > THE BLUE LAMP > CELLAR 35 > CAFE DRUMMOND > DOWNSTAIRS AT THE MALT MILL > KRAKATOA > THE TUNNELS (you may vote for more than one option) FORMER 'BEST VENUE' WINNERS: 2001 - N/A 2002 - N/A 2003 - Dr. Drakes 2004 - Dr. Drakes 2005 - Dr. Drakes 2006 - The Moorings Bar 2007 - The Moorings Bar 2008 - The Moorings Bar 2009 - The Moorings Bar 2010 - The Moorings Bar 2011 - The Moorings Bar 2012 - The Moorings Bar 2013 - The Moorings Bar 2014 - Downstairs 2015 - Downstairs 2016 - ? ? ? ? ? ?

Oedo 808 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Sadly, Cellar 35's noise limiter is now set so low that a snare hit is likely to set it off, so it shouldn't be classed as a music venue any longer. You may get away with an acoustic act, you could put a stand-up show or poetry recital in there, but as a music venue it is effectively dead.

In the first half of the live awards ceremony, we'll be dishing out trophys for Best Release, Most Missed, Best Video and the like after a public vote, and trying to get drunk as quickly as possible. We'll drag the winning acts out of the crowd and make them give acceptance speeches to you - it'll be just like the Oscars, but shitter. 8.30pm - 9pm > LENIN DEATH MASK https://www.facebook.com/LENINDEATHMASK/ A alternative rock combo, stuffed with songs, passion, and charisma.

I hope to be drunk. 10pm - 11pm > DEPECHE CHOAD https://www.facebook.com/D3P3CH3CH04D/ "Girth Rock all the way from the slums of Spearfish, South Dakota," claims their slightly ficticious band biography. The talented quartet have been setting stages alight around Aberdeen for the past year or two - and now their time has truely come: Fudge Awards Headliners 2016https://depeche-choad.bandcamp.com/ 11pm - 3am > THE AFTERSHOW PARTY (free entry 11pm-12am) Here's the FB event - https://www.facebook.com/events/535553809936658/ GIG 6pm-11pm £5 advance / £6 door (£5 student) free entry 11pm-12am AFTERSHOW PARTY 12am-3am £3 (student £2) See you here! #discovertiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
