After Dark's Welsh AdventureAfter Dark are looking to play some gigs in South Wales on May 30th & 31st & June 1st..Any bands here want to join in for one or more of these? I warn you it may descend into a 3-day piss up. And you don't need passports to get into Wales

| danblood |
We'd be up for the Saturday! | ||||
| SpookySam |
That would be awesome thank you! | ||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
I agree with Sam, would be awesome playing alongside you guys again, looking forward to hearing the new stuff 
^v^ Luke Noir ^v^ x |
||||
| danblood |
Thanks man! it's a little different! | ||||
| SpookySam |
Aww, we all love each other 
Who else is in? |
||||
| danblood |
Screaming blue murder should reunite for a final show! | ||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
I'd totally be up for that! I'll speak to the rest of the band and see what they say, I'm pretty sure they'd be up for it. If we were welcome to play we'd love to travel down. It'd probably have to be a Saturday though due to travel/work issues. |
||||
| danblood |
Totally dude yeah! Sam whadya reckon? | ||||
| SpookySam |
Hell yeah!! 
|
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
I've e-mailed the others so as soon as I get any response I'll let you know.
|
||||
| SpookySam |
Aw sweet thank you!! | ||||
| danblood |
Wicked, I'll see if Mark (Doc Von) is up for promoting this on Scare waves! get loads of people down. | ||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
And get himself there in the process lol...this is starting to pan out really fucking well...
^v^ Luke Noir ^v^ x |
||||
| Dr.Jekal |
are The Creeps still on this? | ||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Count us in!
We've discussed the problems we had as a band and have decided to give things another go, so thanks to Dan for suggesting us for this gig and to Sam for obliging, seems like it was enough to get the ball rolling and to fix all things SBM. I was wondering if theres anywhere else close by we could possibly play the night after? Would be good to get a couple of shows in while we're down. Message me on myspace if you need to discuss details and shizz. Cheers guys!
|
||||
| danblood |
Oh thats awesome man... I knew it was the wrong idea for you guys to break up!!
Can't wait to play the show with you (and After dark of course being their show hehe  )
|
||||
| Deathbed |
play the telford gig! | ||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
lol, its never one bands gig and its an honour to play with bands that we ourselves would more than happily pay to see without us being on the oine up, will be brilliant playing with both Fall Victom again and SBM...we have another gig on the sunday...think its in either Cardiff, Newport or Swansea (im really not sure what order we are doing things in and would be cool to support you guys on any other date going, Dan, if the FV lads are up for it, we could have a AD, FV & SBM line up for 3 nights? or at least 2?
^v^ Luke Noir ^v^ x |
||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
Oh and i Agree with this completely, you music rules and the band deserves at least its second shot..will be great to play with you guys. ^v^ Luke Noir ^v^ x p.s notice the time in which these were wrote, ah insomnia how we love you lol |
||||
| danblood |
You're a nightcrawler Luke...
we might be able to do the sunday too!! thatd be great thanks man, I will check anyway and see what the others say! |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Thanks!
What day will this be happening on? Also, what do you guys have planned for gear? I have a feeling we'll be traveling down in a van so we can bring gear for bands to use. |
||||
| danblood |
If anyone else can bring the bulk of the drumkit we'd be eternally greatful! HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIZE OF GAVS DRUMS!!! | ||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
lol, Yeah i remember the being pretty insane, think Nathe would appreciate someone else kit aswell since hes not immensly overproud of his lol...To answer you question Tommy, the gig we have been talking about so far is for the saturday I believe? Im guessing its cardiff but Sams the gal to talk to as to the 'where' parts... After Dark are playing the friday, sat and sun, one in cardiff, one in newport and one in swansea...but yeah I pretty sure we would all happily play with you guys wherever, whenever, so alls well.
^v^ Luke Noir ^v^ x |
||||
| SpookySam |
Wow lots has gone on without me!!!
Hopefully we're gonna have Cardiff on the Friday, Newport Saturday & Chepstow Sunday. After Dark are staying at mine but I can get more people in. If you don't mind a squash everyone can crash here! So to try & answer everyones questions.. FV/SBM you're both more than welcome to play on any of the dates you want! And anyone else who wants to join in. Dr. J- you're definitely still in if you can make it for as much of the tour as you can do, but ask the others too! Anything else I've missed, let me know! Hehe, this is gonna be kick ass! |
||||
| SpookySam |
As for drums, I guess it'll depend who's playing when. It would make sense really for AD to bring seeing as they'll be here the whole time. Unless anyone else is gonna stay for the whole tour! The venue I want for the Saturday has its own drums if we need but theyr a bit skanky.
So let me know whats needed, who wants to come when & if you need a place to stay! |
||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
lol, yeah that would make the most sense (us bringing the drums I mean)
^v^ Luke Noir ^v^ x |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Is it cool if we play all 3 dates?
We can pretty much bring a full backline that everyone is welcome to use
Is it possible to crash at someones to save us on accomodation? We'll bring lots of booze as a thank you hehe
|
||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
That would be more than ok with im sure 
^v^ Luke Noir ^v^ x |
||||
| SpookySam |
Hey Tommy thats awesome thank u! Everyone can sleep over, save money on hotels! Luke was worried about space- if we have more than 1 house worth of people we can sleep at my dads too. Some of us slept there on Halloween when I was in my tiny flat, theres tons of space its just cold, but in May it'll be fine! We can be based @ mine, come back here to eat & stuff make it cheap as poss. | ||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Awesome! Is it safe to say we're confirmed for all 3 days? Just so I can let my friend who's driving us down know how long we'll need him for haha. |
||||
| Calavera |
if cal brings booze can he come?
XD |
||||
| Deathbed |
i want to comeeeee
lets hope its my weekend off work |
||||
| SpookySam |
Hell yeah all 3 days!! & course you can come Cal, & Laura! Get your asses here! |
||||
| Calavera |
jahaharrr!
ive just realised that its cals 21st aswell, so well have to have a good old pissup for it |
||||
| SpookySam |
Fucking awesome!!!! Cal you've gotta come. | ||||
| danblood |
Cunt! I don't think we are gonnna be able to play ANY of the dates anymore as Scotty is on holiday around that weekend! He is double checking for the Saturday but it is looking bleak 
|
||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
Ah dude....
^v^ Luke Noir ^v^ x |
||||
| danblood |
i guess we could it acoustic without scott if youd ave us still? | ||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
Think that would be cool, id enjoy watching that...
^v^ Luke ^v^ x |
||||
| danblood |
Cool... Sam is that ok with you? | ||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Acoustic sets are always ace.
Love the avatar Dan, I just started playing that game for like the millionth time last night. |
||||
| danblood |
Its wicked isnt it, I have an unfinished song about Grim Fandango... do you know Monkey island too?
I wish they'd hurry up and get a Grim movie out!!!! |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
It's amazing! Yeah, a film would be amazing!
Yeah, Monkey Island is great too, not played that in so long though. |
||||
| danblood |
Haha you inspired me to start GF again... hope my PC will run it this time tho
|
||||
| Calavera |
monkey island
grim fandango loom day of the tentical full throttle sam and max hit the road indiana jones and the fate of atlantis ...some of the best games ever made!!! ive actaully got most of the old school lucas arts game runnin on my r4ds homebrew cartridge.... best £30 i ever spent!!! the ds was designed for point n click adventures, shame that lucasarts wont get off their arses and make classic game for it. |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
I think you should copy some of these games for me Cal
|
||||
| danblood |
Fucksake I got to the petrified forest where you have to stick the sign into the ground and it crashed!!!!!
 very pissed off
|
||||
| SpookySam |
Monkey Island kicks ass!
Yeah sorry I've been hibernating for a few days. Dan it would be awesome if you could play acoustic! Come for all 3 days
|
||||
| danblood |
I can do the Saturday and the Sunday!! Will be me and Gav and hopefully Jamie! | ||||
| SpookySam |
Do you reckon it would be better to do this the weekend before.. its a bank holiday on the Monday so we wouldn't have to take a day off!
So that would be better for me if everyone could do it. As it is I'd possibly have to be in work on the Monday unless I can train someone to take over.. which is cool with me, whats good for you alls.. ok im rambling ill stop now |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
This should still be okay with us. I'll check with everyone else and let you know. A week after is no good for us however. | ||||
| SpookySam |
Thats cool. Not a definite change, just thought I'd toss the idea in! | ||||
| danblood |
we may even be able to do a full band i'll check! | ||||
| danblood |
Right we can do the full band on the saturday 24th!! but not the 25th! is that good for you sam? | ||||
| SpookySam |
Ah no good sorry.. the earlier weeks not good for AD. Never mind! Still up for acoustic? | ||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
I spoke to the others and we won't be able to play any earlier unfortunately.
Was wondering if there's room for one more band on the bill? We're doing a mini tour at the start of June and this pretty much kicks it off so I was wondering if the band we're touring with comes to this too? If not it's no problemo atall
|
||||
| danblood |
haha yea acoustic still cool! | ||||
| SpookySam |
Yeah definitely, that would be sweet! What are they called? |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Not a band as such, a one man acoustic project called Tragical History Tour. It's not 100% that we're doing a mini tour together yet but he'll let me know for definate by next week. If you would rather another band played instead then that's cool. You can check his stuff out @ www.myspace.com/tragicalhistorytourmusic - for fans of bands like Alkaline Trio, Against Me! etc.
|
||||
| ^v^Luke Noir^v^ |
Good stuff, really like his Social Distortion cover...
^v^ Luke Noir ^v^ x |
||||
| SpookySam |
I'm liking this.. get him on board if you can Tommy! | ||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
He'll let me know for definate next week, he's just waiting on getting his new uni timetable.
Sam can you gimme a message on myspace with venues and shizz? Also, do you want us to bring a full backline? |
||||
| SpookySam |
Um, no venues confirmed as yet!! Still waiting to hear. Will hopefully be Cardiff on the Friday, Newport Saturday & Chepstow Sunday. I'm hassling ppl now to get it sorted.
If you could bring the backline that would be awesome, I'm sure AD would appreciate it! |
||||
| SpookySam |
Confirmed for LePub, Newport on Friday 30th May! Whos gonna play this one? | ||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Count us and Tragical History Tour in! If that's still okay?
Can't wait to come down! |
||||
| SpookySam |
Course its ok, can't wait!! Ill let you know what else i get. | ||||
| SpookySam |
All I can really say at the moment is FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
The manager of LePub called me last night, I booked the show with the assistant manager & she was all pissed off, "you can't just walk in here and book a weekend!" Well clearly I did.. So weekends are only for "established promoters". We can have Thursday 29th? Can anyone do that? Ah the world can suck my balls, I'm gonna go throw 400 flyers in the bin. |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
That's bollocks!
BUT! We can still come down and play
Will there be anymore dates or just this one? |
||||
| SpookySam |
It'll still be the Saturday and Sunday. If no-one else can do the Thursday at LePub I'll have to find another venue free on the Friday! | ||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Ah gotcha! |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
We've been asked to do a couple of shows leading up to these gigs so it might be a bit of a hassle for us to do the Thursday, if it's defo gonna be Fri, Sat, Sun we can do all the dates. If the Thursday is gonna still be in play then I'm sure we'll find a way of getting there...afterall, we are all superheroes
|
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Any update on dates/venues and stuff for this? We've to let our driver know what days we need him. | ||||
| SpookySam |
OK, so far-
Thursday 29th May- LePub, Newport Friday 30th May- O'Neills, Cardiff. These are DEFINITE. James AD is sorting out the Sunday in Chepstow. If we're all up for it I'll sort out a Saturday too? Course you don't all have to do all of the dates- everyone I'm happy to have for as many or few as you can manage! |
||||
| Tommy Creep |
Any room for the 'Creeps on the Saturday if you find a venue? | ||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
Ourselves and Tragical History Tour can make Thurs, Fri and Sat. We can bring 2 amps, bass head, full drumkit. Everyone is welcome to use our gear.
Can the Creeps not make all dates? Would be awesome! |
||||
| SpookySam |
Course the Creeps are welcome, as much as you can do.
Gonna have to find a Saturday venue. Any suggestions?? |
||||
| Poisoning |
oh god DEEKER!! you could ask my mates in BRDS myspace.com/blackratdeathsquad |
||||
| SpookySam |
Will do! Thankee | ||||
| NatheoftheLivingDead |
Right, so now it's hopefully gonna turn into a four-date tour instead of a three-date tour then?
This is what I understand it to be so far. Tell me about any errors, availability issues and the like. Just curious... Thursday 29th May - LePub, Newport: AD, SBM & THT Friday 30th May - O'Neill's, Cardiff: AD, SBM, THT & CC Saturday 31st May - venue TBC: AD, FV ac., SBM & THT Sunday 1st June - venue TBC: AD & FV ac. This is gonna kick SO MUCH ASS I'm almost creaming bats right now. Nx |
||||
| SpookySam |
Eww Nathe!
Well hopefully now- Thursday LePub, Newport Friday The Junction, Bristol Saturday O'Neills, Cardiff Sunday The Five Alls, Chepstow. James is sorting out the Sunday tho, have to ask him if its sorted! |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
We'll be able to play the 29th and 30th for defo. I'm not too sure about the 31st. I'll let you know about that as soon as I can.
Oh yeah...how far apart are Newport and Bristol? |
||||
| SpookySam |
Sweeet, thank u!
They're not that far apart. Bristol's further than Newport from me but its an easy drive, & I'll have a car by then if we need extra. |
||||
| danblood |
Can me do Friday and Saturday?? | ||||
| SpookySam |
Course you can Dan! Do all of em! | ||||
| JamesP |
Thought id get in on this lol... As for Chepstow I haven't had any reply whatsoever so not sure about this one?
James x |
||||
| Deathbed |
why cant someone else live closer to me so i could actually come. | ||||
| SpookySam |
Drive to us!! | ||||
| Deathbed |
i hate driving on my own. so id just panic coming down all that way. | ||||
| JamesP |
Any news on the final date sam?
James xx |
||||
| SpookySam |
Not as yet! I haven't heard back from the five alls so ive been asking around for ideas. I've contacted some venues in Swansea see if they can do that date. | ||||
| JamesP |
Maybe we should leave the Sunday date... just a thought as most people won't come out on a sunday due to work the next day.. I mean 3 days of gigs should provide immense fun for all.
James |
||||
| SpookySam |
You got a point there..
What does everyone else think? |
||||
| danblood |
probably true. sunday could be a good rest day forall involved too. i know i wouldnt have been able to play it cos of work.
so just to clear up what dates are booked at the mo? |
||||
| SpookySam |
Booked is-
Thurs 29th, Newport LePub Fri 30th, Bristol The Junction Sat 31st, Cardiff TBC (possibly 10 Feet Tall, but theres plenty available) So now, whos playing what days? I've got local bands ready to join in if theres gaps, I need to know whats going down! |
||||
| JamesP |
After Dark are playing all three dates. Sunday would be a rest day as I also have work the next day..
James |
||||
| Tommy Hopeless |
We can do the 29th and 30th. | ||||
| danblood |
I can do the Friday and the Saturday! | ||||
| SpookySam |
Awesome, thanks guys! Tommy, is that the same for Tragical History Tour? | ||||
| JamesP |
So what's the final line ups? as for other arrangements, Sam we'll aim to be with you for 1ish/2ish on the Thursday, are you working that day?
James x |
