About me: DiZZY SToRM....bringers of good music to Aberdeen, and only acts that we dig 100%. look to the left...there's a list of who we've brought to aberdeen since jan 2005, this is when our legendary local independent venue Dr Drakes closed down. but it was a must that we kept bringing the music we liked to our city .... so thats what we did, and still do...just using different venues/spaces in aberdeen
although we now do significantly less shows than say a year or two or three ago (quality not quantity) DiZZY SToRM RECORDS came about, with the first release, a great 7" slab of vinyl available to buy online by clicking the paypal link below : )

We've never been able to quite pin down exactly what it is that The Hunter Gracchus do, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.
Peeesseye I Woke Up and Drank a Bottle of Cheap Kojak CDR
Peeesseye made the scene at Dylan Nyoukis's Colour Out of Space festival last summer and hopped over to Manchester to play a show at the Town Hall Tavern, the recording of which forms the content of this incredible slab of dense droning harmonium, scraping, buzzing, subtly soloing guitar and pulse-free, scatter-drumming. We can't recommend this enough. Limited to 80 copies.
That'll be the old-age kicking in! Can't be throwing myself about a stage with these brittle bones...
Anyway, it's good to hear from you. I really appreciate the kind words. I was going to say that I never see you around these days, but I'm certain that I saw you behind the bar at the Tunnels on Monday. I do vaguely remember you saying something of the sort the last time we spoke.
I hope that you're keeping well and I'll hopefully catch up with you sometime soon.
