offramp Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I just realised there are no links up for Born Ruffians...dear oh dear...check these oot!http://www.bornruffians.com/new/MySpace.com - BORN ruffians - Toronto, CA - www.myspace.com/bornruffiansBorn Ruffians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I can't wait for this gig. Andorra was one of my favourite albums last year, and Born Ruffians are definitely ones to watch. They remind me of a modern-day Holy Modal Rounders.if you are coming along to see Caribou, please try to take a few spares pounds for his fantastic new tour only compilation CD. The last time he played Tunnels he sold stacks of these tour cd's & they proved very popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
french_disko Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Fucking typical - with Rangers winning last night the SPL schedule has now gone all to fuck & the Dons final game of the season (against the Huns) is now the same night as Caribou!Any chance of making it a later show??

chilli Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'm glad you didn't say "No Surrender".FACTthe last time I heard that sung was in season 1984/85 my last time EVER at Pittodrie when Aberdeen played Rangers & the South Stand RACISTS from Aberdeen chucked bananas at Mark Walters & chanted monkey sounds. The stewards just laughed & did nothing. Never been back, got better things to do, like put on sublime artists like Caribou & SoTL History lesson over....ps would you forgo Caribou to see Rangers win the title at Aberdeen?????

chilli Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 as the timings stand Caribou will go on 9.50pm or 10pm at the very latest , so anybody going to the football could make all his set, even with a 7.45pm k.o. (just a shame to miss a very bouncy set from BR b4). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 just a reminder about this fantastico show & 1up ticket allocation selling quick, now our new posters are about............last batch of 1UP Caribou tickets went into shop last Saturday, its very gratyfying when a Canadian student walks-up buys a ticket when i'm handing these over & says "can't believe one of my very favourite live bands & from my home city is playing in Aberdeen when i'm here studying & for Caribou who ive heard is fantastic live but I always seem to miss to be playing as well, this must be a dream & a highlight so far of my time in Aberdeen"once these 1UP tickets have gone:-ticketwebor cash door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 There's this and the Sons and Daughters gig, and the Aberdeen game (my interest in that coming as a Celtic fan) and it's also the first night of release for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!I think I'll go for the Pittodrie/Caribou combo though. Indy will have to wait until the earliest possible showing on the friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones Street Boy Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 FACTthe last time I heard that sung was in season 1984/85 my last time EVER at Pittodrie when Aberdeen played Rangers & the South Stand RACISTS from Aberdeen chucked bananas at Mark Walters & chanted monkey sounds. The stewards just laughed & did nothing. Never been back, got better things to do, like put on sublime artists like Caribou & SoTL History lesson over....ps would you forgo Caribou to see Rangers win the title at Aberdeen?????Actually this ain't a fact as Mark Walters didn't sign for Rangers until season 1987/88. ?( Can't remember Aberdeen fans flinging bananas at Mark, but there were certainly disgusting incidents of this nature at Hearts and Celtic. Even Rangers had some of their own fans banned for racism directed at him. A bleak period for Scottish football.Getting back on topic, looks good for attending the game at Pittodrie and catching Caribou. I'm sure there will be quite a few of us legging it up King Street to catch the start of this. Just hope I don't get caught up in any 'bother' post match.
