Lol! I was early on the Biffy bus (saw them in 2003 in Aberdeen at The Forum) but then got off and haven’t seen them since. I hear they’re doing alright for themselves though 😂
Also remember Travis headlining gig on the green in 2001 in Glasgow. That was a fun weekend but made me laugh at the crowd split. I think Travis were the Sunday headliner and the Saturday had acts like Eminem, Papa Roach and Marilyn Manson playing. Not sure how much of a crossover there is between the fanbase. I remember arriving on Saturday in my Travis t-shirt to a sea of black t-shirts and goth kids!
As a teenager Travis were one of my favourite bands and I got to meet them backstage during their The Man Who tour when the played Aberdeen Music Hall. My friend had managed to contact their management to support a charity event where they came to our school during the day, taking time out of their very busy schedules at the time! Anyway I remember all the band being really nice but my teenage illusions of backstage grandeur were shattered that day when it was just really a wee room with a few sandwiches!!
Not so familiar with The Lemon Twigs but the last couple of singles from The Lemonheads were great! Deep End and In the Margin worth checking out 🙂
Man I love an early 00s message board! Hi All! I resurrected my old twistedpapa tag from those days. I don’t think I was an original ‘boardie’ but Travis were a favourite band of my teenage years. I’ve not seen the band in many years now (had tickets for the last Glasgow Hydro gig but had to sell them on last minute due to illness) so I’m well overdue!
