Good thread... so far...

I can only comment on the bands I've seen which are mainly those that have played The Moorings. Also the bands that have played more recently are fresher in the mind than those that played more than 2 weeks ago LOL. So I'm just gonna pick one from last week:

The Ghost of Bongo

The dull of bongo?

please, Flash.... no.

10EW have been a bit quiet recently but coming in the next few months

- Split CD with Tellison on Glasgow's KIDSMOKE Records

- Bigger shows in Glasgow

- UK tour with Pickled Dick

- Lots of new demos for our album!

If we ever get our feet off the ground the Cure For Cancer Has Been Found will be a pretty interesting watch, but we probably won't play any big gigs.

I'boy Watson played with them at the lock up the other night' date=' but it could hardly be regarded as "Kris's new stuff" seeing as he didn't write it...[/quote']

True enough but he did have input into a few of the songs. He'd only practiced with us 2 or 3 times before the lockup gig so we didn't have a chance to totally experiment with the songs. But now we're going to focus on writing new stuff with Kris (well thats the plan!) as Niall is pretty much bursting at the seams with ideas for songs.

Also, now i see why steve has an afro... not for style but as a bloody crash helmet for when Kris is jumping about! :D ha ha!

If anyone does want to catch us play... well we don't actually have any dates in Aberdeen until the rescheduled gig with Aereogramme (provided Paul still wants us to play) which is March. Playing Glasgow and Edinburgh in March aswell.

thats some list of bands/artists

any of the aforementioned specialise in electronica/improvised/experimental area?

or are they all noisy boys thrashing about...............

we're not noisy boys thrashing about. we're very restrained these days. less is more and all that.

and we have performed improvised shows in the past too.

id say keep an eye on Broken Sunshine this year, those girls keep improving all the time so hopefuly this year is going to be good for them. Weapon are also now getting very very good, one of aberdeens best bands id say at the moment. Look out for what they get up to this year (although im sure you will get to hear). FromHerAshes are also going to be an interesting package when they get on to stage. Reasons are Red should also be good but ive yet to see them yet, heard good things tho. Of course Quik will also be back in full flight this year so id be keeping a close eye on them.

*COUGH* err.. how about flicker? :O

I was quite impressed at the drummonds gig a couple of weeks ago. You guys maybe have to put more of your own slant on things (the muse influence seemed to loom large, and after someone told me you guys were massive mansun fans so did that), but you were very tight and sounded great.

And your bass player needs to buy some strap locks.

Shameless self promotion time - the Spike collective will be coming back shortly with a new ditty or two with Hog back in and Kirk now nicely installed as bass playor. My other as yet unnamed power-ish metal project are still beavering away behind closed doors, but we will probably be active live at some point this year, and should be able to blow most bands out of the water when we do get out. ;)

So have other bands! that does't mean a thing, it's about being good I thought, we write jams all the time were just choosy when it come to putting things together. 561 like a lot of gigs to me!!!
