Northern Lights Festival Showcases

So the Northern Lights Festival in Seaton park, Aberdeen has been announced, and the first batch of acts confirmed. What some people may not know is that this festival is being brought to us by the same people who are behind both The Tunnels and Drummonds music venues in Aberdeen. They have announced a series of showcases in which local bands are invited to play at one of the above venues, in the hope that a judging panel will deem them suitable to grace one of the three stages at the Northern Lights festival. Currently there are a few bands that I work with regularly who have been allocated showcases. Both Cook Doo, and Turning 13 have scored a place to try prove they are worthy of rocking a big festival stage. I still haven’t found out all the details of which bands have gotten showcases, but I’m sure there will not be a huge amount of surprises.

Best of luck to everyone who gets a chance and hope to see you there.

Just a quick note to say that Turning 13 won some awards at the recent Fudge Awards night in the Mooring in Aberdeen. They won best Punk act (yeah go figure…) and were joint first with Which Way Now for Best Live Act. Well done to the guys! Keep up the good work and looking forward to the year ahead working with them.

Turning 13 in Forres on 17/12/10

Last gig of the year for the Turning 13 boys. Very much looking forward to rounding off the year with an out of town gig at The Loft. The last time I was there was Shaun Ryder doing a “DJ set” which turned out to be a large pile of shit. If memory serves there were 4 local bands on before this, which Nick from Taylored Sound bravely mixed wirelessly on his laptop where FOH should have been. I can’t even remember why we had to do a side of stage mix…might have been security or something.

If You can make it up to Forres – this will be a cracker. Supports are BelikePablo,  Jon Arbuthnot acoustic set and The Strives.

Turning 13 Single Promo

Turning Thirteen – a dynamic four-piece Aberdeen band whose debut single, ‘String She Pulled’, is packed with enormous riffs, moods that flit from light to shade, and impassioned vocals, are powering out of their hometown to take on the world. The seeds of Turning Thirteen were sown when front man Steve Bruce and his brother Jeff decided, united by a love of music, to start something that was unique to the their corner of Scotland. Since those early days, they have evolved into one of Scotland’s most exciting new rock bands with sweet melodies twisted with a heavy crunch and shades of hardcore punk. Following the success of the self- financed mini album ‘Baby Puzzles’ (2006), show-stopping support slots with ‘Biffy Clyro’, like-minded Brit rockers ‘Hundred Reasons’ and more recently Welsh rock band ‘Future Of The Left’ and The Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, the band were approached by several Scottish indie labels for a debut release. Choosing to stay true to their musical roots Turning Thirteen headed into the studio to record their debut single ‘String She Pulled’ with established Aberdeen label Fat Hippy Records.
Turning13 are poised for greatness. The group of fans who once held them as their own little secret is growing like wild fire, the word of mouth buzz about their intense live shows and fresh sound is getting louder everyday… and as for Turning Thirteen’s state of mind and love of music, they’ve been sure for as long as they have been playing together that this is what drives them!
Turning Thirteen ‘String She Pulled’ out Mon 29th March available from various record shops and on iTunes, Napster, hmv.com, play.com, eMusic etc
