keep your ears open for dundee band The View.
theres been a lot of hype about them recently in the music press and the band havent even released anything yet. but theyve supported babyshambles on their tour, are about to support Primal Scream on their tour and theyve also been offered a Levis commercial deal seemingly.
being originally from dundee i know folk that know them or haev been to loads of their gigs around dundee. last fri had mates thru from dundee to see them at liquid rooms.
tix were £8 but were going for £80 on ebay.
i managed to get a ticket from someone outside for a tenner.the band were pretty good - not outstanding or anything "new" but they had great stage presence and their fans were going f*cking MENTAL!!!!!
ive never been to a gig where the crowd were so mad. esp for a band that havent released anything yet.their strapline thats on their badges is The View are on Fire! and thats what the whole crowd were shouting over and over like a football chant for about 45 mins before the band came on. HUGE anticipation for them coming on. the kinda thing that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
If you are a weegie, get along to the Carling venue on thursday night to see them supporting the Subways.
you wont be dissapointed.
