Either a 'smooth old ballad' or 'angsty troubled fake teen pop punk tune'.

I'll be production managing the day so be sure to have a smaller rider than anyone else and also be playing in the wrong tent...The one at Duthie Park with the dog show!

Watchin you son ' date=' watchin you.. (bleedin art teachers)

:nono::kiss:[/quote']

I think I'll combine the two, and do a smooth old bald punk song about you!! :swearing:

I've never had a rider, so even a small one would be much appreciated, thanks! (any of that Drakes herbal tea left?) :up:

I'm aready booked to play the dog show tent, in the company of the Fabulous Poodles, Steeleye Spaniel, 'SPIKE' Pile Driver, AKA The Fox Terrier, Double Jack Russell, Al(satian) Nero, Red Man Walking His Dog, The Down boy!s, DogsD'Amour, The Pup Rivets, Champion Dog Veitch, and Pekinesely Lead.

I'll be using my 'chi-wah wah 'pedal!!

full line up/running order/times

full line up/running order with some info on the acts.... :D

65daysofstatic 8.15pm-9pm

**FIRST EVER SCOTTISH SHOW**

With loads of airplay by Peel, Lamacq and even Zane Lowe their debut album 'The Fall Of Math' is also getting excellent reviews in ORGAN, Kerrang! The Wire, Rock Sound, and a host of other mags. They have been described as Squarepusher meets Mogwai, or the Aphex Twin with guitar, but that doesn't do their innovative (some say revolutionary) sound full justice. Thier live shows are viciously euphoric, frenetic, overwhelming, bordering on chaos and really, really loud!

'A soundtrack to a new dimension.....'

Sound Development Agency 7pm-7.30pm

SDA bring their filthy, hardcore Manchester funk to the night. it's all deeply funky, with groovy, shake-yer-money-maker bass and guitar lines and utterly unintelligible but soulful and fuck-it-the-man's-clearly-off-on-one vocals!

'deranged funk that will bring you back to earth with a bump... '

DRAT 6pm-6.30pm

Drats songs are hard to forget, staying with you when youre walking down the street, and particularly when youre trying to get to sleep at night. Simple melodic guitar lines, looped by lo-fi gems and delicate vocals, laced with dirty keyboards and sharp lyrics, comprising a mellow undercurrent as well as having teeth: not unlike a crocodile on morphine...

THE MARCIA BLAINE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS 5pm-5.30pm

Their sound has been described as slightly peculiar and melancholy, and their tracks can vary from dark beats to experimental soundscapes, light atmospherics and to more melodic numbers.

SALON BORIS 4pm-4.30pm

think of a dirty sleazier human league for this decade, think of Mark E Smith from the Fall, think of the fattest driven analogue bass this side of New Order, think of the dirtiest, catchiest, electro pop you can dance to..

THE NUCLEOTIDES 3pm-3.30pm

instrumental surf rock band in the vein of Dick Dale....accompanied by the Disembodied Living Brain of Doctor Donovan, an actual brain that resides in an oxygenated tank on stage and who, it is rumored, communicates telepathically with audience members...!

THE KITCHEN CYNICS 2pm-2.30pm

the man, the legend....quirky and unique local singer songwriter with an exceptional pedigree...scotlands greatest exponent of great-auntie folk!

Major bombarding of the city needed when they are ready... Flyers too! Easily the first and best Alternative music Mini Fest Aberdeen has ever had! Long may it continue! And I believe there are some good visuals being added to this!

I mean, touched by the hands of Drakes and Interesting Music! Hardly gonna be shite is it. (Would pat self on back if I had booked at least one of the bands but I will know doubt be running around on the day looking for musicians and gaffer tape, whilst you all bask in the wonder of the event. Bring it on, I need something to manage! hehehehe)

GO TEAM

Press & Journal Article

There's an article in today's Press & Journal about the event -

http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=149664&command=displayContent&sourceNode=149490&contentPK=12083748

FILM AND MUSIC ARE DOUBLE BILL FOR SHIFT 2 PRODUCTION

LAURA GRANT

09:00 - 22 March 2005

A BAFTA award-winning film will feature alongside productions by young film-makers, an acclaimed Scottish skateboarding film, and a modern treatment of archive footage from Aberdeen Maritime Museum at the city's Shift 2 event in the Castlegate this weekend.

There will be live music between the series of animation, experimental, documentary and drama films at the free-entry event from 2pm to 9pm on Saturday.

The line-up of new music bands ranges from surf and indie rock to electronica and electro pop. A performance by The Kitchen Cynics will get Shift 2 under way, followed at intervals by Nucleotide, Salon Boris, Marcia Blaine School for Girls, Drat and Sound Development Agency, then the headline act, 65daysofstatic.

Productions by young local film-makers include Search Engine directed by Hannah Macleod, and The Life and Death of Samuel Johnson, directed by Louise Forbes. These films were the culmination of an intensive experimental workshop for young people at Peacock Visual Arts.

London-based Studio AKA, who won a Bafta, will come with a collection of short works while film-maker Monika Dutta will present a piece which looks at the treatment of archive footage on the fishing industry from the Maritime Museum, and a live sonic interpretation by sound artists, Pavlov.

The Shift 2 programme includes around a dozen films.

Lindsay Gordon, of Peacock said: "A wide audience should again be attracted to Shift with its special combination of live music and the visuals."
