unbroken Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 no..hold on.I think that reply (under the DR DRAKE account) is not fair. Epicircus has a valid point in a way you know. Even if it wasnt a valid point he is entitled to say that considering its not a ridiculous or spiteful statement. I think its awesome that Ross does what he does...BUT its apparent that maybe the population is something that affects shows you know. The fact that there isnt that many people here period...you see the point now? NOT SCOTT POSTING THIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Storm Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 hehe this is why i never get caught up in posting much, never comes across as is meant!!!! was merely a fleeting comment (you cant blame me for wanting to stick up from a promotor/venue's point of view!) - and i was chuckling as i was posting!! no biggy....and yes, i know ALL TO WELL about low attendances at gigs (!) and i get his point COMPLETELY!!sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 The only gigs that seem to be really badly attended are all the hardcore (or whatever the fuck genre/sub genre/cliche they are being called today) shows.I just don't think Aberdeen has enough people who like this genre of music.Shows like alexisonfire/the bled would have been better for kef perhaps? Moshulu has no atmosphere when there are only 100/200 people there.Sikth last year (or this, I can't remember) was dead, norma jean didn't exactly pull a massive crowd either. I'm sure there are plenty more examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbroken Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Mac does have a point. It sucks. what does pull though? I mean even the skate/pop/ska bands that used to pack out lave/kef/glow dont pull like they used to IN ABERDEEN. It seems that people split themselves so far down into genres of what they like that they only go to a very limited amount of shows. I think these people are denying themselves what they want to like or REALLY like in alot of cases. Its quite sad. I mean...in January we have an amazing show coming up at Kef. Two bands i LOVE, underoath and roses are red are playing along with a band i really quite like, silverstein and also a pretty big UK band, the hurt process. All at one show. That bill is pretty much modern day post hardcore heaven. Ill be VERY suprised if it does 200...100 even actually. Glasgow...it will sell out or be upgraded...mark my words. Its sad.

Ross Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 ???????? Coming up in march' date=' converge?

Guest Cowboy Dan Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Surely the fact that Aberdeen's a lot smaller and has a smaller population than half these other cities the tour was on (Glasgow, Manchester etc.) reflects the fact there was a poorer turn out. Makes a bit more sense than "there aren't enough scene kids in Aberdeen"...I dunno if the venues were bigger in these other cities or not... Just seemed pretty obvious.

Ross Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Was looking at Bright Eyes also but sadly I don't think it would do well in Aberdeen. Playing the QMU in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cowboy Dan Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Yeah, just saw that on DiS, Rilo Kiley supporting as well. I couldn't really see them filling Moshulu though, would have been nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
