Was a net café. It's just beyond the Turks head.

Have been hearing loads of good things about that damn rulers of the planet gig. /me hits seld on head.....wait. I hadnt heard of them til this morning.Ah well. I hear The organizer is in some band that are wánking lyrical to get signed through HWCH and that's why Berkeley got ****ed up the ass. Supposedly the whole thing is aimed at getting this band signed.....Stars of the city....Apparently Berkeley had a decent slot and then this pile of pish decided they wanted it instead........organizer is in this band so Berkeley get fúcked off to some pile of shíte that they weren't originally booked for.

Sucks to be a corporate rock whóre so.
Next year we'll be sacraficing Frames merchandise (live) on stage.It has been decided.

Eh anyway... Tonight was even better than last night. Thought Blink were pretty good. Have never seen them before. Dwight were excellent, as usual. And Ten Past Seven were amazing. Didn't really think an insturmental band could have pulled off such a brilliant set, but I was quite wrong. I'll definitly be seeing them in the future. Neosupervital was just weird.

Neosupervital. Weirest 10 minutes of my life. Very cool.
Ten Past Seven amazingly brilliant. Enjoying the cd now.

furryvision · 05-09-2004 12:37pm

be sure to check out the rags at TBMC tonight. they are excellent

kirn · 05-09-2004 3:04pm

Stars of the city?
"The Organiser"?
conspiracies?

sounds like the matrix...

Ten Past Seven = best live band in this country.

Amazing show, completely blown away (again).

ilovehoovering · 06-09-2004 11:50pm

another *yay* for Ten Past Seven. everytime i've seen them this year they've been absolutely brilliant. Waiting Room were also great.

memaeve · 06-09-2004 11:51pm

Neosupervital was brilliant, as always!
Amongst many many others which I'm too tired to list right now.
Great weekend was had.

xxx me

Grr... I missed Waiting Room and Fred 'cause I completly lost track of time. I hear they were both brilliant.

Sunday was rather good also. Jamie Lawson was much better than I was expecting, or than he was last time I saw him. So were Turn. I was most impressed with their set. Probably the best of the day, I'd say. Frames set was mostly good. Bit disappointing at the end though...

therecklessone · 07-09-2004 12:52am

Didn't spend anywhere near enough time checking bands last night. Missed 66e by a whisker, so the only full set I got was Turn which was good.

Spent most of the rest of the night getting hammered in the smoking beer garden in the Music Centre.

Did anyone see The Chakras they were on at 11:20 on Saturday at The Hub?

Tombo · 08-09-2004 11:23am

Hey. Were they the band with the drum machine and keyboard player?

Jim · 08-09-2004 11:25am

Iain Archer's T-shirt. Gotta get me one of them.

choice · 08-09-2004 5:42pm

No, The Chakras were on after them I think.

NO ME TO KNOW · 10-09-2004 10:43pm

Juno Falls were somethin else... I was kinda surprised to say the least. :eek:

On stage way too early. There was only a handfull to see em.

Is it just the way I feel, or are they the most under-rated band this country has ever had?

its just the way you feel.
they're good like, but they're not the most under-rated band this country has ever had.

berkeley were never booked to play the slot that stars of the city played, if the website says that it's wrong, brian (organiser dude who's in the band) put SOTC in that slot when they were organising it first, as you would if you were organising it, rather than move people round (all very well organised, see?)

juno falls aren't the most underrated band ever, but they're among 'em.. fúckin deadly.. preferred blo.tooth myself but same difference, but yeah (i'm babbling..) they don't get enough recognition, and should have been on later in the day.
and iain archer (who was beautiful..)shoulda been on before republic of loose (who were fúckin brilliant)
and everyone shoulda been on after that frames set. big smouldering pile of ****e...
but i'd seen their soundcheck earlier, and that was deadly...
funny how things work out..

Ooookay...

Something tells me that it might be just a little bit easier to organise something called a showcase gig or to travel to England if the organiser wanted to get his band signed. Organising a festival for 100 bands seems like a very convaluted way of attracting attention. You never know, maybe his band has a "demo" that they could give out to attract attention. Did anyone miss Berkely? I doubt it!

dregin · 12-09-2004 8:22pm

All apologies, I was working around rumours from someone who told someone who told someone, etc.

Yes, quite a few people missed Berkeley.

memaeve · 13-09-2004 8:39pm

As much as I hate to agree with Dregin on anything (;)) I missed Berkeley!

Ro: maaan! · 13-09-2004 8:53pm

I could have done with some Berkeley too.

For some reason I thought pinion were a Ramones cover band, they were fairly good nonetheless.

hmm, Pinhead are a Ramones cover band... and ironically our next gig is with a Ramones cover band (called Psycho Therapy) but no we don't do the covers thing. Glad you enjoyed the HWCH set, we thought we had a bad gig that night tho, that's Doran's for ya!
...but we're playing TBMC on the 23rd September if you want to catch us playing our full set in one of our favourite venues.

Tombo · 14-09-2004 3:05pm

Hey i saw Pinion! Do you have a spikey haired punk singer? I think you were the first band i saw on froday night.

You no good punk kids! Well actyually you quite good punk kids

Fred were great on saturday night. There was definitely a serious cork thing goin on in the hub - half the bands playing that night were cork! By the end of the night i had to keep checking to make sure i wasn't calling people 'feen' and 'langer'.

Doolap · 15-09-2004 8:21pm

My apologies for the dissing of Berkley. I was merely implying that if lots of people wanted to see them they could have played a different slot; but yay for the festival in general.
