No shit dude, i remember you saying you lived in dundee, i live in dundee too, i saw those people outside Grouchos today and thought its not worth that much effort, thats is until I found out Rage Against The Machine are playing. Im going to have to get tickets now.
yeah man...you're not kidding with those people outside grouchos...from 5pm on thursday until 9am on saturday...saw the bit in the paper about them and most of them were about 16 years old....guess you've gotta live that experience at least once...i know i have
you in Dundee for university?...it's a good wee town for a while and well student orientated but it gets really dull after a while
where's your regulars in Dundee....probably seen you around and not even realised it
i am so ****ing drunk right now...just in from seeing the cinematics at the westie...
Yeah came here for university, usually drink in the westport, the nether inn or dundee union. You're right it does get dull, but the live music scene has improved over the last year or so, a lot of good bands play in dundee now. The T in the park line-up is good, especially Aphex Twin and The National, but its sold out.
What did you think of The Cinematics?
the cinematics were ace...but as usual the Dundee crows was sparse at most....had fun though cause met up with a lady friend...
cant say i like the nether anymore...they dont sell Kopparberg for a start...you should try drouthey neebors further up the perth road...and get a rum called "sailor jerry"...nectar of the Gods
yeah the Dundee scene is getting a little better...still too many generic indie bands for my liking though and the Doghouse is a total shithole for gigs
my next gig is the Dykeenies at fatty's live...not a great venue but saw biffy there...the enemy...air traffic...
best gig in Dundee for my taste was Ray Lamontagne at the caird hall...i was right at the front for it...brilliant
