Glasgow?

[bob]

I notice that there is quite a lot of people here from Glasgow or other parts in Scotland. What does everyone do/go out to?... just out of interest :)

[Basic]

I'm part of the Nurture crew. We have a monthly night (second Friday of the month) at Club 69, Paisley. My other night is Basic Level (check out www.basiclevel.co.uk for a rough idea), we have a few nights for later in the year which will appear on the site as they are announced. Nurture is on tomorrow night with Tokyo Bitches as this month's guests - hope to see you there.

Other guests include:-
May - Max Duley (ARCart)
June - Bios (live set)
July - Bis (live set)
Aug - TBA
Sep - Ed DMX (Breakin' Records)

more to be confirmed.......

Sorry matey, we're no longer running the bus (more folk came via other means). However, the train to Gilmour St station and taxi home is not too bad - or even bring the car , that's what I'll be doing :( Plenty of time for some light refreshment afterwards:)
Apart from that, you don't wanna be leaving your recs on the train now;)

[bob]

sounds good although I am not actually in Glasgow right now. When I return I will make sure to check it out though, I keep meaning to trek to Paisley but never quite make it.....

[Basic]

Yep, I'm sure it will be worth it!!!

There are also plenty of goings ons in Glasgow City Centre that I'm sure other board members would be happy to enlighten you about.
Anyone?

I'll stick your e-mail on our mailing list as well.....

[bob]

yep I know pretty much all of the things in the center we run some nights on occassion too...but i've been away for a while

[V Knid esq]

Bob, as a weegie, should you not be "Boab"?

[bob]

yes probably but thats reserved for weegie friends to use

[Basic]

What sorta gigs do you take partake in Bob?

[bob]

sometimes we do a techno night called the bass invaders
lol

[lucid rinehead]

i live in aberdeen and (i don't want to be negative, but) most of the time its shit, and, i have to say, getting worse.

i have had a go at getting a gig type of thing together, and i haven't altogether given up yet, but getting any kind of venue is a bitch.

hooray for the A90

[maikeru]

Yeah im from glasgow, and club 69 is ok, been a few time, esp. the UR nights when mad mike used my K2000 keyboard for their live set, still havent cleaned it since.....

Ooooohahhh, Mad Mike touched your organ

[bob]

[Basic]

Indeed, it's great having big baws when your outta reach innit?
Strangely enough, don't really get insulted to face-to-face much!!!

[V Knid esq]

Glaswegians picking fights with one another? It's just like being in Brighton again! lol lol lol

[Basic]

Ahh, I'm sure it is all part of the Glasgow ethos - it's actually all very endearing really;)

[maikeru]

Nae bo'ver boab ma man! nae bother mucker!

Yeah mad mike touched my organ, what you saying about that? ;) It was a spiritual moment....or something like that.

We only pick fights when we are on holiday or at football matches. we are our own worst enemies we should be standing together and fighting the english or some shit like that! FREEEEDDDOMMM!! or some other equally twee shite... lol

We are all endearing actually even more than you would think. So come along and see us playing at some nights out and you will see why!

mair bevvy mair chickens!

:-p

..and Luss and/or Troon on bank holidays - it's just sooooo working class. Can't you just taste the hoi poilloi, ahhhhh!!!

[anarchosyn]

...but, can some of you glasgownians (is this what you call yourselves?) sample other glasgownians speaking your wonderful glasgownian tongue? Long story short, I LOVE the accent of glasgow, ewan bremner is my most fav actor, in part due to the way he speaks (in other parts due to his acting skills). I'm serious, if you could sample yourselves and MP3 it to me, I'd be SOOOO down to remix you into a track, or just listen to it for hours on end to annoy my room mates. Talk about whatever, discuss how odd of a bloke I am or the weather situation last tuesday..

I'm serious, anybody up for it?

[rmr]

Nah I dont think so....we are quiet capable of running our own freakshow in Glasgow thanks very much (and anyway ive already sampled my own dulcet tones for my own track)...anyway here's a joke I was told in Edinburgh:

How many Glaswegians does it take to change a light bulb?:

Two, one to change the bulb, and one to score the downers to handle the come down

[V Knid esq]

I pass on without comment the entry in the Viz Roger's Profanisaurus for "Glasgow Shower"

Glasgow Shower (n): spraying deodorant around inside clothes.

[bitch one]

loathe as i am to burst yer bubble anarchosyn, ewan bremner is an edinburger, or as we say in local parlace, he's fae embra.

[Basic]

Yes, he is indeed a chav.

Good show on Friday, Bitch One. Apologies I couldn't hang around after but the responsibilities of parenthood beckoned!!!

[maikeru]

never heard that one before I would have just called him an east coast fuck.... but hey who is splitting hairs here? Robert Carlyle was the only glaswegian among them. (not glasgownian or whatever you were trying to say...)

and as for the sampling of our voices, no thats our own little private sample store. you have african men in detroit, ny and san fran, we have cockneys and scots people, its a fair swap, oh and whiskey!

waaheey!

[Sheridan]

doesn't claude young run a techno night in glasgow?
I remember reading that he lived there now.

[rmr]

Yup, its called "true people" and is on I think the third friday of every month at a place called ad lib, Ive never been because Im usually at Monox or thru in Edinburgh for some wonky techno...

[bob]

I think that he tries to play a mix of stuff not only techno but also I have never been.

[maikeru]

ive been a few times when it was in planet peach... and it was good apart from hearing 2 unlimiteds no limits....but we wont talk about that bit shall we???


www.claudeyoung.com for more info if you really gots ta know!

[bob]

anyone here actually been to ad lib? they seem to have a lot of stuff on but I've never been compeled to go there, it looks a bit crappy.

[maikeru]

aye ive been there a few times its pretty cool, depends really on what night it is you are going to....

friday nights are ok and so to saturdays but some weeks its soul and funk and then its techno and stuff (claude young, jengaheads etc) its a good mix, and most people who go are off their heids anyway.... what a generalisation but the nights I went it was certainly true....

thats not to say it wasnt a good night.... :)

go try...

dont have an opinion on something unless you have tried it.... Except partner swopping and orgies.......

[bob]

[bitch one]

through to edinburgh for wonky techno...
?

and no mention of TEST...spiritual home of the lords of wonky techno
ie
landstrumm/schmidt/tarrida/sativae

etc
etc
etc...remember?

[Basic]

Been to both True People venues mentioned - good nights in both, real sorta party vibe. Check out Club 69 every second Friday of the month for Nurture for a party vibe, you won't be dissappointed. Keep your eyes peeled for up-and-coming Basic Level nights at the Riverside (first being Fri 24th May). I'll keep you posted of our very special guest....

[bob]

test is definatly the best club in glasgow for me, I'm dissapointed that I am going to miss Marcin Czubala this friday as I am out of the country, but let me know how it was if anyone goes. Back for the next one:)

[rmr]

@bitch one...see the problem is that Im a huge Test fan so people get sick of me bangin' on about it..its peerless...Ive missed it this month however as I was hospitalised after a couple of days, as some crackpots hit me with a machette during the week...I will be back at Test at the end of May!

[rmr]

Its appreciated: I will survive!

[bob]

[rmr]

Email test@glasvegas.com for info. (.I think Test is now going to be on at Alaska on the 31st NOT 25TH at the Arches as previously advertised)

[TEST]

Test will now be on the 31st at alaska, with daniel benavente outa neue-heimat @ stuttgart and also others to be announced.......

then afta that 28th june, with landstrumm, subhead (x2), tarrida and shandy.

[bob]
