This thread reminds me of children telling each other tales of the boogieman

Some of you have horrible, horrible views

Amazing music scene up here at the moment. Put on 5 gigs at the Legion last year and all sold out. The Rock Festival at Mareel drew over 450 people and Oxjam at Mareel last month was a very near sell out

Ahh brilliant. Well this was the first Shetland rock festival that is going to be turned into an annual event to fit into the music calendar along side the folk, jazz and blues festivals

The weekend was a massive success with Friday at the legion being a sell out and 400+ coming to Mareel on Saturday!

Oh? I wasn't aware there was a festival called The Shetland Rock Festival before now. When was this?

The first Shetland Rock Festival will take place next week on Friday 23rd August at The Lerwick Legion and Saturday 24th at Mareel. Featuring the best in local rock acts and some amazing visiting bands, this is going to be one of the best music weekends of the year

Yeah, i just saw them listed as a visiting act on the folk festival website

Any information on when the tickets will be going on sale. I've been a fan of this band since back when they were called Brother Louis Collective and applaud whoever arranged to bring them up

Anyone else a fan?

Good thread

As far as sampling goes, i use Ableton Live. I use it to make mashups and sampled hip hop beats. Its a pretty amazing bit of software, and alot of people i know use it mix and match beats live, although i havn't really gotten the grasp of that aspect yet. Im no DJ though.

I use FL Studio (formelly Fruity Loops) when it comes to making original beats/songs. I've used it for years, and it still holds up. The samples that are included sound reletively cheap and nasty, but with VST's and collecting your own samples to use, its pretty powerful.

Having seen them live twice, I can respectfully disagree.

Surely it would make a difference if you actually liked them

Even though their last two albums have been, to put it kindly, balls, they still put on one of the best live shows ive ever seen.

If i cared about the charts in any way, shape or form, id buy that

I really enjoyed Screenplay. The Maddrim screening was brilliant. My personal favourite was Heima though. Im a big Sigur Ros fan but seeing that on a big screen first was something quite special.

Can honestly say Vunk Fest was the funnest gig i've ever played. The energy coming from the audience during our set (Ten Tonne Dozer) was absolutley amazing. Dave deserves some kind of shetland knighthood for the work he puts into the Shetland rock scene.

Is there an mp3/studio recording of Final Fight? Song is fantastic

I dont mean to sound like an ass, but isnt this just the original with distorted guitars dubbed over?

Faith No More reforming is pretty much the greatest thing ever. I might just go down for the night they are playing on. Seeing Limp Bizkit live would be great for nostalgia reasons.

Im not sure if its full time yet. At the moment im just filling in for last nights show and tonight at The Moorings in Aberdeen.

Played at The Ark in Edinburgh tonight, and they streamed the whole gig live online. Heres the video below for those who might be interested

Skip to 35-36 minutes in for the start of the TTD gig

Ronald Drives A Tractor is still active. Looking to record the full length album in the new year, followed by some gigs in the Glasgow/Edinburgh/Dundee region.
