Monkeys Fist 42556 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I was curious- what do volunteers do at a festival? Turns out, fucking everything. https://www.dounetherabbithole.co.uk/volunteer-faqs Build the site, run the bars, stewarding, litter pick and cleaning. I wonder if there’s a gold option where you get to feed grapes to the organiser? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word of a lie. “As of 2009, Murray was executive chairman of Atholl Energy Ltd[47] and chairman of Westminster Development Ltd, a gold mining company, both operating in Accra, Ghana” Nothing to see here, move along.

As someone who was use to pogoing and moshpits, everyone at the Carcass gig seemed to have their own personal space that no one else was allowed in. I don’t remember anyone even bugging my mate, which at the time was weird as they had just toured as the support for Nirvana - strange folk those grindcore fans! Carcass were great btw. Similar affair tonight. Sold out, absolutely rammed tiny venue, sweat dripping off ceiling but everyone respecting each others space. Weird bunch Carcass fans but the band were in good form. Bill is a god-tier guitarist in my book. I'm still convinced he's a lefty, but either way he's a blues guy that carved out some extreme metal sub-genres and deserves a lot more credit and recognition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you bought a t-shirt. Seriously underrated band that deserve a lot more recognition. Had it in my head they were in Dundee last night? I was half tempted to go again.

Ah shit 16th is the day my oldest starts highschool and the youngest starts primary school. On the one hand it's the perfect time as they're both going to have so much to talk about when they get home. On the other hand, I really do not want to be....Fuck it actually that's perfect. I'm going. Sure I mentioned the Doune the Rabbit Hole festival grift here a few months back? That's it been formally cancelled, hearing all sold tickets won't be refunded. The "new owners" are taking action against Bectu for lower than expected ticket sales. Hilarious as everyone I knew thought the whole charade was a massive ponzi-style grift. Murray was just boasting about how well he was doing financially less than a week ago too. Fucking charlatans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking music industry is full of grifters, from the top down. Feel sorry for those that have lost out on tickets, hope someone in that lot is pissed off enough and has enough clout/influence to take the promoter to the cleaners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1339 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Ah fucksticks. Just seen SWANS in Glasgow is sold out for tomorrow. In other news, Byker Grave is a pretty good name for a metal "festival". If any one local has a penchant for really old-school thrash metal I'd highly recommend seeing Hellripper live in early November. I caught them by accident last year in an absolute toilet of a venue, for my money they put the current crop of big mainstream thrash bands to absolute shame.

About an hour ago I could swear I heardl my other half talking about booking a slot for some kinda republican event. "Republicans. I'm booking a slot to pick republicans at the republican farm". Panic over. It was pumpkins. We're picking pumpkins at the pumpkin farm, fucking ages away for Halloween. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never really got the Rezillos over here but I've heard a bit on various Garry Crowley radio shows and meh! But how good are the Undertones live? Even with Fergel light singing, he nails all the early songs. Saw Ed Kuepper the other night, he's re-issued two of his early solo albums, Electrical Storm and Honey Steel's Gold and he was a great as always, good to see him with a full band once again. Got the Descendants; Sorry; and a jazz type thing called Asteroid Ekosystem which Ed plays guitar in, all in October plus SXSW is in Sydney so might get to some of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezillos are great live, all out sci-fi punk pop attack. Last time I saw them must have been 43/44 years ago and it was like being in a cartoon Back in late 70s early 80s the Undertones were far and away my favourite band, saw them many times and nobody could touch them live. Saw them in 2008ish when they first reformed but couldn't get over the lack of Feargal and considered it a bit karaoke and never thought I'd bother to see them again Last night was a birthday present from my youngest, so I resolved to put my reservations aside. I went in viewing it as the Undertones being the band plus a singer. They opened with emergency cases then you've got my number and I was sold. After that it was just one stone cold classic after another. The singer couldn't really pull off the later stuff, Wednesday Week and Love Parade were a bit weak, but the rest of it was pure family entertainment All in all had an utter blast 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
