Hey,

We are organising a society laserquest trip to Dark Ocean Laser Tag next to Meadowbank on the 22th November at 1pm. If you are interested in shooting some guitarists, then join the facebook event here to find out more details!

Dear Patrons,

For the foreseeable future, the practice room will not be available on Monday or Wednesday. This is due to a dancing society booking the room on these days.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused as a result. Our practice room man - the ever-enthused Ben Collier - is making millions of phone calls and letters as we speak to arrange a better deal for us with EUSA.

If anyone has anything they want to ask, don't hesitate to get in touch with a member of the committee!

Andrew

I got word from Mark Wester that the line 6 amp is not working. We are going to look into this and get it fixed ASAP.

Andrew

After much waiting, our brand spanking new cymbals arrived today - The pack consists of 14" high-hats, 16" crash, 14" China and 20" Ride.


Please look after them! Don't go mental on them straight away!

To celebrate the arrival of the cymbals, here is a baby playing drums:

As promised, some new music has been added!

This time, we have:

BenDee - Not On Your Plane
BenDee - combining loop pedals, chopping boards and ballads into some fine pieces of work. Also won a pink guitar at the UTT battle of the bands a few years ago.
[myspace]

Visperas - Helios
Visperas - an Edinburgh institution much like the castle or Palmyra, are still going strong with their 3 guitar loaded weapons array. Progressive and face-melting.
[website]

Jump: Press A - Only the Brave Deserve the Fair
Jump: Press A are a brand spanking new Edinburgh outfit who have recently been featured on Vic Galloway's radio 1 show. Their sound is defined by weaving melodies, close harmonies, off-beat drums, up-beat tunes and crunchy guitars - all mixed up with a healthy dose of pop. See them at the Ark on the 25th. Do it!

That's right, they're gigging at the Ark on 25th of October, this Saturday:


That's all for now, get submitting!

Hey Guys,


For those that didn't get the email we have changed the location of tonight's meeting. We are now meeting at 9pm at The Southsider on West Richmond Street, instead of the Auld Hoose.

Hope to see you all there!

Do you have any suggestions or ideas that you would like to tell the committee? We are having a meeting next week, and want to hear your views on your society.

Do you like the practice room?
Where do you want the society meetings?
Anything you would change about the website?

Answers on the back of a postcard. Or even better, just write it in the 'suggestions' section of the forum!

Time for some changes to the available music!

I've put up some tracks from the compilation CD we were giving away in Fresher's Week up on the right hand side there, click on those links and be delighted as they sing for you.

I'll be changing this weekly, every Saturday*, so send me (Steve yeah that Steve) a PM with your music, and it'll turn up soon!

This week we have:

Adam Adamant - Hard Work
-- Adam Adamant, the stage name of our very own Joseph Bain, combines Casio keyboards and quaint melodies into exciting new forms.

Chairman Wow - Kids on Speed
-- Chairman Wow, those wacky guys who combine music and words into exciting new forms, combine words and music into exciting new forms.

Le Crunch - We Are On Fire
-- Le Crunch, winners of the last UTT Battle of the Bands but are sadly no more, combine multi-part vocals and Eastern European scales into a flaming ball of awesome... which has an exciting new form.

Molly Wagger - The Cactus Song
-- Molly Wagger, who have been rising within the Edinburgh scene, combine catchy hooks, whirling crescendos and indie-pop sensibilities into exciting new forms.

Please give me a description of your music if you send it to me, so I never have to sound like that again.

Cheers!
Steve

*Saturday should be taken to mean "Saturday, but possibly a random day of the week". No interest will be charged for this first year. Your statutory rights not included. Batteries will not be accepted for refund.

If you would like to advertise a gig, please contact an administrator with your poster!

Hi guys, Firstly thanks for coming tonight to those who made it! It's a pity there weren't any slots in the Blind Poet when we went - maybe library bar or Tron would be a good place to go to? If you didn't make it and still want to sign up, or just want to find like-minded musicians and spiel about your favourite band then we will be getting together every week at 9pm in a location as yet undecided! Secondly, and this is IMPORTANT for those who have booked the practice space this week. Freshair borrowed our gear a week ago and have misplaced our cymbal bag and bass pedal. They are in the process of finding it, but until they do (which I hope is soon - I have been asking them since I found out) you guys will need to bring your own bass pedal and cymbals. Or ask someone nice on here or on the street to borrow some. We hope to get our beloved bag of metal back soon. It's really annoying, and I'm sorry if it interrupts any crucial practices!

Secondly, you actually want to form a band right? Well, come along to our big meeting! It will be Tuesday 9pm in Library Bar of Teviot! Come along, talk about music, mingle, get surly and end the night by driving a car into a swimming pool (car not supplied).
That is TUESDAY 23rd September 9pm - LIBRARY BAR!

Peace,
Andrew


PS. I had to clear up the musicians directory, it was getting too crowded with people from 1993. Everyone re-fill in your details!

Hi all, A few of us from the committee took a trip to KB house today to tidy up the practice room. We have set what we think is a good schematic for putting the stuff away, so please put everything away according to the diagram on the inside of the door! There is also now a sign-in sheet, can one person from each band sign this as they are leaving. This will confirm that you haven't left the place in a mess and that everything has been put away properly. It has been agreed by the committee if anyone does not put the stuff away, they will be banned from the practice room for two weeks! They will also receive a spanking. Rock on and enjoy your summer!! UTT committee
