My band are playing Electric Circus on Saturday 7th, first on of a three band bill, topped by American alt-rockers Wussy. Doors at 7, we're on at 7.30-8...

Checked your stuff on FB, sounds great! Will check out the EP too - I assume you are the singer/guitarist?

Moe_Zambeek

@Vaiai - was that Keava or Modus? If Keava, I'm the non-singing guitarist if it was Modus it's my old band.

If it was driven by harness that's the other band on the bill with Wussy, not me

@Moe_Zambeek Sadly only caught your last song. Wussy were great, though... really enjoyed them. And a decent and enthusiastic crowd too.

Moe_Zambeek

@camf yeah, Wussy were great!

You should have said hello

Ship Inn Musselburgh this Saturday, approx 7:30/8pm - midnight (ish). 

It's bassist's daughter's 21st but you're welcome along. Buffet at 9pm lol. 

We're playing two 45 min (ish) sets.

Colin invited me to this on FB but we are gigging Inchcolm Inn on Sat and back at The Jam House in June Enjoy!

Thanks  

I WILL get to one of your gigs! 

Sorry for late reply - been mental busy, I'm well over-stretched.

Went ok but we're loud..... drummer will have to play with pencils or something lol.

Yo, anyone fancy a pint? I'm working in Edinburgh for a couple of days, would be up for a beer or two on Wednesday evening if anyone's up for it?

Moe_Zambeek

Wednesdays are rehearsal nights for me:)

Plus I live in the sticks so no use to anyone anyway

I'm at band practice (where do you practice @Moe_Zambeek?) but we finish at 10....?

FYI this was me on Saturday (I only wear it for Sweet Child O' Mine though this time did keep the 'shades' on for the rest of the gig):

 

DiscoStu

So Wednesday is band practice night around here, huh?

thomasross20

I could maybe meet after 10 but might be late and I'll be on west side of Edinburgh. Can't do tomorrow. What days are you here? I thought you lived here, shows what I know!

thomasross20

Band practice mid-week is great.. Keeps me going!

DiscoStu

I don't live here, I'm from Elgin but am down here now and then with work. I'm staying in Leith for a couple of nights so no worries. I'm renting an apartment and it's comfy and has a fridge for beer! I'll cope!

Moe_Zambeek

We practice at the depot, @thomasross20

Chaps, help an ignorant west coaster out. Anyone know of pubs in the Gracemount area that do bands? We've been contacted through Facebook by a woman called Cath Kay who says her pub has been hosting bands since January and would we be interested. Just wondering if its going to be legit / worth it?

thomasross20

@DiscoStu just gimme a shout if you do fancy meeting up. 

We should maybe compile a list of all venues and what sort of music they like... 

We're looking for more gigs and have a shortlist but need quite a few more. 

We're pretty loud so unless we do an acoustic set...

The Depot - never been there - thanks for the info!

I don't know about that, @failed_astronaut - but let us know how it goes!

Gracemount… I know someone who taught at the High School there. He said he thought of it as a holding camp for Borstal.

Might be worth changing the name of the band you're a tribute to, to avoid misunderstandings .

Lol? Unless they can offer us decent cash money we'll probably not consider it.

Been watching this thread, I don't get to Edinburgh much but went to a gig at Electric Circus last night, sound was horrid, every time the bass drum and bass synchronized it felt like you were getting punched in the chest, main attraction band came on and only played 40 minutes.. pretty disappointing for 3 hours of driving, still nice to get out and get some city buzz.

thomasross20

I'm sure it's been mentioned but is Bannerman's OK? I think of Bannerman's, opium, binkies being the same sort of affair.

Vaiai

My mate Hef does the sound at Bannerman's - you'd go down fine there
We are back at the Jam House 3rd June - looking forward to that again

We played Inchcolm Inn in S. Queensferry, wasn't too bad but as the night went on punters chat got louder and the singer started having issues hearing herself! 

Never seen The Depot either - we rehearse at Mushroom every Wed.
