betting competition Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Went to the Hidden door festival in the old Scottish Widows building in Edinburgh on Sunday.Thought Rozi Plain was good once the sound was sorted. Eyes of Others was ok was there to see both of them and typically it clashed! Most the other bands wasn't great/terrible but I did like Former Champ which is made up of Martha Ffion, Savage Mansion, Catholic Action and Secret Motorbikes (nice indie pop - must have an album coming out soon). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a decent spot but made the school boy error of leaving a bit of space in front me. Just before they came on two middle aged women appeared and got into the space in front of me. Fair enough...until they proceeded to talk sh*te all the way through the gig. Mostly gossip about someone but then they started talking about the recent going ons in Eastenders through a particularly quiet part of a song. By this point I'd had enough so tapped one on the shoulder and just put my finger on my lips. She was fcking seething. They eventually moved away glaring at me as they went as if I had somehow ruined their evening. I just don't understand some folk. Nothing worse than someone speaking through a gig! I remember a gig in 2000 which had Sigur Ros/Godspeed you Black Emperor at the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen and Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai) telling the crowd to shut up! Think Mogwai stopped going to Aberdeen for a while after that, thankfully they have returned.

Remember a fairly early-ish Mogwai gig at The Arches and Aidan Moffat from Arab Strap doing the same thing to the crowd. Mind you that was one of those gigs where the audience was mostly a who's who of the Glasgow music scene and think most folk were there just to be seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Got a few more gigs lined-up due to the football trips: Aberdeen playing preseason friendly at Charlton Athletic on the 29th July so looked at gigs on the 28th and got tickets for Pulp at the Eventim Apollo. Scotland playing France in Lille so booked on the Saturday to see Peter Hook and the Lights at Eventim Apollo to play both Joy Division and New Order Substance albums. Still planning a gig on Sunday and after Scotland game I'm seeing Baxter Dury at the Roadhouse on Wednesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Sir Chloe at SWG3 TV Studio tonight. Absolutely fantastic band, put on a great show. Support was from Eaves Wilder, who was also great. Impressively heavy. Did not know I needed a garage punk cover of Girls Aloud's Biology, but here we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to a festival tomorrow where they are playing, and enjoy their new album so one of the bands I really want to see there (alongside Lankum and Interpol). Good to hear they were decent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) Gonna head up to Kippen tomorrow afternoon as they have MacFleet (unsurprisingly a Fleetwood Mac tribute band) playing at their Street Fayre. Should be good. Got The Mars Volta at the Barrowlands next Friday and then Iron Maiden at the Hydro two weeks on Monday. June turning out to be a big month for gigs. Also got Def Leppard/Motley Crue, Meet Me @ the Altar, Hot Mulligan/Spanish Love Songs, The National, The Nashville Reunion, Punk Rock Factory, Fall Out Boy, Extreme/Living Colour and Dadi Freyr lined up for the rest of the year. Tempted by Chinese Football and Flyying Colours as well and no doubt will add some more smaller bands. Have totally rediscovered my love of live music over the last year, gonna make the most of it!

betting competition Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) BC Camplight (Brian Christinzio solo) gig in Aberdeen was fantastic last night. Brian is very funny and very talented piano player. The only disappoint for me was there no support and only played for an 1 hour.

Craig fae the Vale Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Took a wee run up to the Kippen Street Fayre to watch their headliners MacFleet, Scotland's number one Fleetwood Mac tribute band.

Squalor Vic Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Dunno the general consensus on here about him but was down at St James Park for Sam Fender this weekend and thought he was tremendous. Not been at a big stadium gig for a while and sound started a bit ropey, as they can do but as it went on it it got a lot better. Brought out Brian Johnson for a couple ac/dc covers too. Great night, a good atmosphere about the city as well. He seems a good lad too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AH well. Try http://www.setlist.fm Won't have everything but its user driven so you can add gigs in. As the name suggests, its great for set lists too.

I noticed on on tv at download etc seems a pile of shit if general tix have to stand behind here - can’t recall pricier tickets for this area . Quite common at big gigs sadly, usually for a higher price though. A good tactic, if you get tickets in there and don't like/can't handle the lack of space, is go to the back of that front section. Loads of space and you're still in front of most of the crowd. Being at the front of the second section isn't as good as you'd hope, as you'll have a line of security in your face the other side of the barrier.

Incredibly irritating, and seems to be happening more and more, including at quieter gigs as you and others have mentioned. Almost without fail, these will be the same people taking selfies and posting to instagram & facebook, it seems to be more important to show people what they are doing than to actually enjoy what they are doing. Absolutely baffles me with the price of tickets these days that people will pay that money and make the effort to get to a gig, and then spend most of the time ignoring the gig, probably waiting for that one tune they know.

fuzzydunlop Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 On 05/06/2023 at 23:18, Craig fae the Vale said: Triptides at Broadcast in Glasgow tonight. Triptides look and sound like they came out of 1970s Los Angeles. They are in fact from modern day LA and what a band they are. Psychedelic rock at it's absolute best. A bloody fantastic show. Support was from local female fronted garage punks L-Plate and another local band, modern shoegaze merchants Swiss Portrait. Both very good. 3 good bands for £11. Not much better ways to spend a Monday night. Great beer selection in Broadcast as well. Also, for anyone interested, they have released some extra standing tickets for Iron Maiden at the Hydro in a few weeks. It was showing as sold out until this morning, so if anyone missed out, you can get in quickly and snap them up like I did. Saw a UK band in Birmingham recently called The Crystal Teardrop, if you like Triptides you might like them too. Kinda late 60s/early 70s Psychedelia and they also looked the part. Spoke to one of them after it and think they only have one single out but recording album at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
