with an argument like that, well, hmm.
Is that why they've been asked over to SXSW?

er, no blair, i do not think that all bands i've never heard of are shite. i'll listen to some figure 5 and get back to you. although they remind me too much of maroon 5, which is not a good thing.

R. - Nah, not in reply to you. It was the Popup comment.

Nothing to do with the fact that their manager lived in Texas for 2 years and knows most of the organisers.....? If you are gonna tell me that every band plying SXSW is ace then i will tell you that you are wrong.

Despite what you think Blair, your not the final word on Scottish music. If you want to think Popup are playing SxSW because of the manager, then good. That's generally how most bands get gigs, so its no real suprise. You would give some respect though to the list of other promoters on their tour schedule who don't know alec and well, might actually think the band are worth putting on.
At the end of the day, Im not gonna turn round and slate figure 5, because I haven't listened much, they didn't catch my attention by any means at the Wickerman and I try not to comment on music in such a generic fashion as you do. Popup are not shite, they just aren't to your taste, but i'm sure the people who are watching them this year wherever they might be playing (including Solus) are there because they want to watch Popup.

'So being asked over to play SXSW is the be all and end all is it?' - No, it's not. Who said it was? But if you want to explain what the be all and end all is, feel free.
'Nothing to do with the fact that their manager lived in Texas for 2 years and knows most of the organisers.....?' - Means nothing unless you're looking for a straw to clutch at. You know as well as anyyone that in the music business you use every contact you can, call in favours, but people still need to be convinced and a massive amount of work needs to be done to go along with it. Do you think Solus happened by accident? Ask Rich. He'll tell you. With Popup, for starters, in Scotland, they're playing Wickerman again as they went down so well last year, Belladrum, Tigerfest, T In The Park, Go North, 13th Birthday Party for The Garage, 5th Birthday Party for The Barfly, This Is Music 1st Birthday Party, just done a session for Jim Gellatly, and then there's various other events around the UK, SXSW, session with Huw Stephens in the bag...If you're going to reply with some explanation on how they've conquered Scotland, don't bother.
'If you are gonna tell me that every band plying SXSW is ace then i will tell you that you are wrong.' - See my first reply.
I've got several points, but I seriously cannot be bothered with shorthand. I'd be here all day, I don't pick at bones, every reply can be read as having an ambiguous tone, my dog needs a piss, and the sun is shining. Or was.

Hahaha! Anyway, as i said in my 1st post and the reason why i started this thread is because Figure 5 are by far and away the best band in Glasgow at this precise moment. Big, big things happening. New tunes on myspace now too and EP release date confirmed. www.figure5.co.ukwww.myspace.com/figure 5

Fuck me, and here's me thinking this was a forum. What a waste.

I do find it strange that anytime there's an argument or a disagreement on this forum someone immediately tries to end it.
