nullmouse Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Advanced warning, folks!Fife duo Motormark storm their official DHR electropunk into Drakes, abily assisted by London's delightful Piney Gir and local robotechdiscotheque troupe, The Videos!Surely you've not lived if you've not seen Motormark's legendary Drakes gigs, and now they're doubly cult given their new label sees them rubbing shoulders with Alec Empire's pick of the underground punktronic set. Boy girl dynamics that just makes you want to go beat up a casio.Piney Gir's a charismatic slice of music history distilled into one genre-hopping set of electronic delights - From sleazoid Peaches-esque electroclash to loungecore croons, taking brief detours via the nursery and good ol' country and western. It's like pot luck, except every song's a winner.Direct from the mouth of The Videos, "Real Shocks+Japan+Filth+Black+Disco = The Videos". Nuff said really.FRIDAY THE 21st JANUARY 2005 at DR DRAKES!Price and time TBC soon!EDINBURGH PEOPLE - Piney Gir will be playing with Motormark at the Caledonian Backpackers Hostel on Saturday the 22nd of January as part of the Easy Tiger night - No excuse to miss out on 2 of the 3 top bands we've got on up here!

mmd040 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 A great night in store. Prepare to have a crush on Piney by the time you leave the gig. 2005 at Drakes looks like it may rival 2004 for quality entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullmouse Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Whoever is responsible for Piney Gir appearing in my town I shall stroke your face.Gary, Jacqui and myself decided Aberdeen needed a slice of her sweetness, so we badgered her into coming up here when we last saw her in Edinburgh. It's the full band bizness, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda closer to Durham for you I guess Does this mean you'll be in Aberdeen at the end of January? We should do that drinking thing again, now we know where all the cool kids go.

Piney. I cannae wait. I e-mailed her the other day asking if she'd like a date in Aberdeen - how far ahead of me she was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 PINEY GIR BITCHES!I hereby nominate this as a potential gig of the year.The Videos might take the sheen off of it a bit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullmouse Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 The Videos might take the sheen off of it a bit though.I beg to differ, of course, or I wouldn't have asked 'em on the bill - They've played with Piney Gir (as the Real Shocks) before and have a couple of Motormark fans in the band, so aside from the complimentatry music stylee they are a great match for the night. Still, can never get a full line up that's everyone's cup'o'tea, but I do believe this is a good 'un.And I do know what you look like, Mr. Psydoll... It's a fair race to stroke face.

mmd040 Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I had a couple of pints with Piney on Friday (with Mrs mmd040 I should add) and she's very excited about coming to Aberdeen, so let's not disappoint. This weekend past she was recording a new video at MTV studios, all paid for by MTV! Don't miss this opportunity to catch her before megastardom strikes!!
