Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs x Let It Bleed at The Forum!

 
Some snaps from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs at The Forum from a few weeks back. Seemed to be a really good crowd in, everyone seemed to be having fun and the tunes kept everyone in a good mood! I'm a little sad that people stole my toy dinosaurs though, they were really special to me but I saw someone getting them signed so hope their momento is worth the pain they've cause me! Only joking, check out some of my pics below and some from the proper photographer further down! Simian Mobile Disco next, when will it end!

Happy Birthday To....Me?

So today marks 10 years since my first blog post (check it out here ). It's been quite a journey and writing about art and culture in Aberdeen has been an interesting trip. I've come to see the blog as an archive of events and art happening but also an diary of my own life. Although I have tried to steer away from sharing personal posts or trying to make the blog about me, there are posts which are incredibly personal and bring me back to some special times. Re reading my run down of the night I went to see M83 in Glasgow with friends actually brought a tear to my eye, one of my favourite trips with Moose who sadly passed away in 2009. But I'm glad to have these reminders and to be able to share some of that journey and to see how far things have come.

DO IT! Norwegian Special!

******NORWAY special******** For one year we have been scouring the coasts of the UK for new unheralded talents while promoting local acts who we feel deserve a part in the future music/retro mash up and visual spectacle that is DO IT! While residents M.O.C., SIO, BEN and dj WHITE CHOCOLATE have held down the monthly cellar bar sessions, dj URAKI RIDDIM has been spreading his granite wings to the familiar yet relatively unknown land that is Norway. Reports have come back that our Norsk brothers really diggit - none more so than the current wave of talented indie/electronica/house producers and djs coming out of Bergen on the west coast of the country.  So please raise your glasses and put your hands up for one of this years most exciting Norwegian acts... PUT YOUR HANDS UP FOR NEO-TOKYO live (Nabovarsel, Bergen)From one of Europe's coldest countries comes a warm fluoro duo who live to make sweet, society-saving electronic pop.

Aberdeen, A Tale of Two Cities in LockDown!

I'm sure many are feeling the exhausting and utter nauseating effects of the Covid 19 lock down as we wait to see what the next hurdle will be. With a Government almost taking pride in how badly they've mismanaged the situation, initial fears of the pandemic being dragged out appear to be coming to fruition. Other countries are quick to return to a good level of normality while the UK media look for any excuse to avoid covering the UK death toll which is almost the worst in the World, despite us only accounting for a small part of the world population. But as is often the way, just like social media where you can scroll through videos of people being murdred by police followed by cute cat videos, I'm going to jump from berating the Tory party and focus on some creative adventures from the lock down. The majority of this post was written a few days after heading out with V2k for an evening of street art with me helping to document his process. As I've often said, I f...
