Yesterday I went to see Mauro Picotto at the Forum in Aberdeen. Overall great performance by the Lizard man except for that he didn't play Hong Kong eventhough he pointed at me that he would play it.

Gutted. Although he did play Darkroom and Cirez D - Control Freak.
Happy.

Anyway I don't know if its a UK syndrome or if it occurs in other countries as well but the crowd drinks way too much alcohol. So many drunk people which were at the club just to show off. And there were several fights as well. |
You see, this is the problem that these sort of events have. Picotto isn't a regular punter in this neck of the woods, and as he's a recognised name he's going to attract that mixed crowd; where half are there to hear the man play, the other half there because they've vaguely heard of him before. It's generally a small portion of the second group who will end up acting like ****s.
This kind of behaviour happens far less frequently at the smaller events, but as soon as someone like Picotto plays here the band of idiots will re-emerge.

In my opinion the clubbing scene would be much more joyful if the bouncers at the entrance was checking everyones alcohol halt to ensure that they don't let in people with any alcohol in the blood at all. If you want to drink go somewhere else. if you want to dance to good music you are welcome. if you can't have fun without alcohol then get a life or go somewhere else or drink afterwards. |
Drastic? So many of us (yes, that's me included) enjoy a drink or twelve on a night out. It helps our little introverted nation get into the swing of things I guess... C'mon, even Mauro was drinking over the course of the night, and I didn't see him getting into any fights!
I think a better way to prevent idiots getting in would be a little questionnaire from the bouncers...
"So, who's playing tonight?"
"Mario..."
"Nope, Piu isn't here, so fuck off."
