holy shit! cat on form! i've been wanting to see them for so long. havent heard the other band but i'll check them out.

(does anyone know about age restrictions in the barfly?) <ignore this, i just noticed the other thread. over14s, yas!

aha, i thought WATK would have their eye on this one when i first saw mention of it on the cat on form website. that should be a decent week for gigs then, cat on form on the 2nd and then yage on the 7th. one question though - why the barfly?

WeAreTheKids · 25th June 2004, 08:02 AM

It's UPSTAIRS at Barfly though, where they have a spanking new PA and NO STAGE...and it's over 14s. We're really sick of over 18s only so this was the best place for the show.

We have a meeting this weekend with the GAP (Glasgow Autonomous Project, not the child labour-loving clothing store!) to discuss use of their centre for shows. If it all goes well it means we can help pay their rent and have every show an all ages show and byob for all those over 18. The GAP centre is an awesome place in Merchant City where you can find information on just about every social and political issue affecting people in Glasgow and further. Hopefully the exposure to such a place and such literature might encourage a few more people to learn about the GAP and maybe even become active in the project.

See the other thread for more details on the offminor show though.

is that the printworks?

i assumed they had hijacked it, didnt think it was offical or anything!

There seems to be 2 threads going for this show. Here's the other info for you all from the offical one.

[quote=WeAreTheKids]

Confirmed locals are Baskin, with possibly one more local to be confirmed.

Tickets will be available from Saturday at Tickets Scotland and Mono, but as always you can still pay on the door and avoid "booking fees"

Since this is a weeknight show at Barfly (upstairs), it is over 14s. 'm'on the kids!

forgot about that upstairs bit

the printworks centre would make a top quality place for gigs, although i think they're a bit uncertain over their future there after august because of rent/lease etc. i'm hopefully going to have a few shows going on there in the near future, so we'll see how it goes.

Nope, it's all above board.

So I heard too about a month back, but we expressed an interest in helping out/putting on shows there a while back and there was a little reluctance due to internal politics at the time, but we got a phone call the other day from one of their active members to ask us to come to a meeting to discuss the possibility of doing shows there in the future as it would help them pay the rent, as I think the uncertainty among them is whether they can afford the rent the way the space is currently run, hence them being more open to an increased number of mucial events from which some of the entry "donation" could be put towards the space's running/rental costs. I'm hoping the fact some of us have been involved in/with Frock On and Food Not Bombs in the past and that the last few shows we've done we've invited them to bring info stalls should help stand us in a persuasive position. We'll find out more within the next few days though, so we'll keep you posted.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kierkegaard · 27th June 2004, 06:02 PM

w00t! bummer

WeAreTheKids · 27th June 2004, 08:06 PM

Yep, i'm afraid Steve C is right. we got an email in the early hours of this morning from Steve Cat On Form. It reads as follows.

hi everyone

OFF MINOR have had to pull out of these shows. i've just been told so i'm mailing you the earliest i can. the guitarist jamie has to take exams (he's in med school) in the middle of the dates we've had booked and we only just found out. they're really sorry and they're really bummed because jamie goes back to school soon after so they can't put back the tour, they just have to not come at all. i'm sure you guys are as bummed as we all are!

CAT ON FORM still has every intention of doing the tour, so if anyone DOESN'T want to do the show without off minor playing then please let me know asap. we will not be offended!
of course this means the money deal will be different etc etc. we are also toying with the idea of our friends i'm being good (also from brighton, tom our most recent ex-drummer's main band) so if you could let me know whether you're interested in having them play please do, and we can work things out.

once again i'm really sorry, and we're disappointed we don't get to play with them and they don't get to play here again.

The show will still go ahead as Cat On Form are fooking fantastic. Ticket price has been reduced to Â£4 regardless of whether or not COF bring along another touring band. We're also still looking for another local(ish) band to complete the line up. It's STILL going to be a great show and will be plenty worth your time to come see.
