[TEST]

TEST @ the arches, glasgow, UK Sat 23/03/02

visiting: Tim Wright aka Tubejerk (live pa) & Justin Berkovi (live pa)

residents: Diamond Dave Tarrida & Shandy

big club night, in the cavernous arches.
a test chillout and bar, and a dance arch.

further back in the venue another club: Shake the Disease on a 92 rave tip, with Altern-8 (live)

sorta nu skool and old skool in a 92 vs. 02.


and finally the test website is working.....simple at the moment and a first attempt to get something up, the real site is under construction as i plough thru the manual tryin to learn (yawn)

http://www.glasvegas.comhttp://www.glasvegas.com

[TEST]

and its tickets...........on sale at rubadub records, fopp (west end), the arches, 23rd precinct, and McChuils the pub.

[emef]

i reckon test should book michael forshaw to play live
he`s a bit of a twat, his tracks are well shit but he doesnt mind makin a tit of himself

[eclairfi]

can you only buy tickets in glasgow then, or are there any places in edinburgh?


p.s. i think they should book that bloke too emef ; )

[Killer tomato]

Will b chippin thru after pillbox action da night b4....

[dick head]

shit, lock up your daughters (and mothers)

[arar]

@emef, don't you think your getting enough work and critical acclaim at the moment?! ( & my girlfriend says you have a cute wee smile!....) .....maybe they could put me on as warm up for you...Test has a sense of humour so maybe we're both in with a chance.

The Test website is looking good, l hurrah!

[TEST]

blast, the old memory is going :((

there are tickets for this in edinburgh, but ive forgotten to send em thru. Ill do this today, so from weds pm, there will be tickets at the Virgin Megastore (tickets scotland concession) on princes street

and extra security will be bought in to handle the arrival of killa tomato :))

[c s]

if you don't get ze german rotorik to play for you within the next half year i'm forced to consider it a meeting of the united scottish/english nationalist parties following the doctrine 'never any acts from the continent'. very bad. ruins the reputation of TEST in europe. think of the press echo. fans of sean connery ?

[jukka]

hehe..i always knew that killer tomato is a danger for the society..hehehe....better take the best security you can get.
:)

[arar]

I dont think Test does too badly..We've had Mad Max and Marc Snow from Europe at Test....We've had Paul Langley from USA, we've had Mr MH from England, Ibi, Si....(Phil Murray, I think Belfast? I might be wrong)

In Glasgow in general there is a bit of an obession with booking people from Europe and America..Test is a bit of a nice change from this attitude, as a lot of the acts are local, or have routes here, but you still get a mix (see paragraph above)

Having said all this, it would be nice to see Rotorik at Test!

[c s]

the track i'm currently working on has a sean connery sample. hope this helps. lol

[V Knid esq]

I discovered the most Sean Connery word in the world a while ago...

"Shpeedboat"

say it to yourself a few times and bathe in the warm glow of Conneryism.

[@m.]

lucky buggers...Altern8, Tube Jerk & Berkovi? Gee willikers!

Has anyone seen Berkovi's live pa before? What's it like? Any good?
I'm curious if he'll be making a Toronto stop on his 'tenative'
tour in North America this summer....i may even book
the bastard to play myself, if he doesn't, which is why I'd like to know any thoughts...

I can probably avoid any extra security costs incured over here as
Killer Tomato shant be around, I'd expect...

@m.

[@m.]

...barring that, perhaps I shall book Sean Connery to play the electric ukelely.

[dick head]

'would you like me to show you the shitty shites ?'

there is a bar in edinburgh called the city cafe which i love to say in a connery accent. i'm such a wag.

[arar]

Shurely Iths Shtime to Shtop this nonshense about Shean's a accshent?

Ive just done a track with a little Soprano's sample

found the flyer so i posted it : )

[Killer tomato]

Thanks Michael,

now it's that time of year again where we're talking about our Bring and Buy sales to rase money to stop the slaughter of poor innocent Domo Kuns.........

[arar]

@ KT, I thought Paul was from the USA..well it just shows you how daft I am...anyway Marcin's from Poland and he's done Test Before and will be there in April...weve had the Hacker as well...thats reasonably international?

I would have been at Pillbox on Friday, but am off to see the super scientists from nowhere in Paisley that night....I believe you may be visiting Glasgow in April KT, and that emef may be here in October...so there, I think Ive plugged just about everyone....enjoy pillbox...

[@m.]

@m, Berkovi's PA are good. Ive seen him do them about five or 6 times now and he's never done a bad one (or two that sounded alike) - arar

Now THAT'S wonderful news...Live PA's are even better when they aren't stagnant...Anyone know who he's touring with in NA this summer?

[xrayspex]

@c s Over the past six years or whatever Test have had guests from all
over play the club I don't know their exact locations but way back Heiko
Laux, Kikoman, DJ Slip, Chris Sattinger more recently eva casal, mad max,
marcin, daniel benavente. plus dave tarrida and cristian are both in
europe now (does that count). "local" guys like Ibi, Si, Paul Langley,TubeJerk,
Justin etc aint really local to Test anyway. make of it what you will. sounds to
me like you know you're missing out and fancy trying it out...

[bob]

all this talk of Test is making me homesick, I'm currently living in Prague and am in desperate need for some test action. have fun

me too...what a coincidence ???

[eclairfi]

woa, what a coincidence! we won't be able to miss eachother, and neither will anybody else. better make sure yours isnt the pale mauve coloured dress or people won't be able to tell us apart ; )

[emef]

ha ha

[arar]

Test was great..all hail Dave Tarrida and Justin Berkovi...I even enjoyed 10 minutes of Mikey Finn...such a good atmosphere as well..brings a tear to my eye...

[lucid rinehead]

...and tube jerk. yeah it was ace...everyone i met seemed to be on top form; i was knackered but i blame emef and k.t. for making me dance like a loony for hours on friday then stay up till 9am...

anyone get any pics?

[eclairfi]

i was going to bring a polaroid camera but i missed the shops on the friday night cos i got out of work too late , oh well...

i danced like a loony too , hadn't boogyed so much in ages! (at pillbox i mean not test.... didnt make it to glasgow :( )

[lucid rinehead]

i was in the pub till 1 with a mate i hadn't seen for ages...missed most of mister forshaw's set...i was kicking myself

didn't recognise you, eclairfi - you must have forgotten the carnation :D

[geese]

Mr. forshaws set (with KT attachments ) was one of the most extraordinary techno things i've seen in quite a while. Loads of speeding up, slowing down, stops, starts, mad fucked up breaks insane MC stuff and, most imoprtantly, a kylie segment which i think should be extended to 16 bars to increase the already high levels of confusion.

Surprised this hasn't been TESTed.

TEST was excellent as always. The cloakroom queue at the end was distinctly nightmarish though. Must be ready for that next time i'm at the arches.

[Lady E]

cristian is doing a live pa at pillbox on 17th may

i was going to go up but its the day after me birthday and i am moving house and other fun things...

[lucid rinehead]

emma: boo! thats no excuse... :)

geese: yes, missed you at the end of test, you must have been in the q...we got our stuff back a bit earlier. i was going to see if you were up for a return leg of wine-drinking at my mates flat

[geese]

cheers LR,

Looking back, I think it was for the best that I got back to sleep in this instance. 2 nights in a row is getting a bit much for me.

I didn't even manage to put a cd on till about 5pm on sunday.

[Koistie]

hey cheers Lucid....

[lucid rinehead]

hello koistie!

thought i might see you here before too long...:D
