What drunken goodness is instore for the freshers this year?

The G.U. have announced Dave Pearce, Cut Up Boys and Dizzie Rascal. That's a pretty stomping line-up if I ever hear one. When are the QM announcing their line-up?

And please don't tell me its the fecking "What's that coming out of my arse, is it supposed to be a song?" Automatic again.

Here's hoping it's a good 'een

No bands then, at the GUU?

fuckin-yaldie · 9th August 2007, 2:46pm

Doesn't appear to be any as yet. Anyone know when the QM line-up gets announced?

**djtoast** · 9th August 2007, 3:20pm

It's pretty much all booked as far as I know. Shouldn't be long.

C'mon, Pearce still knows how to get a party rocking! You can't beat a nice mix of current and old school house on a night out!

You could beat that by whanging yourself in the face with a frying pan, let's be honest.

I'm gonna be updating the QM website over the next couple of weeks with all the necessaries.

Check that, cause I'm not gonna post it all here as well.

Sssshhh, this is a QM forum. My original post (which could have been taken in a pro-GU manner) didn't go down to well.

Hey, it's all friendly banter.

Nearer the time, when stress levels are higher, there may be the odd person who disappears only to turn up months later in a hole in the Campsies, but for now we're all pally I think?

So taking a quick look at the Events Guide, i see...

...Monday 17 September; 20:00: QMU: Goldie Lookin' Chaim (is that a spelling error??? or some weird tribute band?!) + Support

...Tuesday 18th September; 20:00: QMU: Rock Vs. Metal Quiz w/ Revolution & XFM DJ Martin Bate

...Thursday 20th September; 21:00: QMU: Headphone Disco, Qudos

Please don't tell me that Goldie Lookin' Chain are coming - the GUU did that 2 years ago....

Hopefully there will be some better entertainment yet to be announced.

Why would that matter to freshers, who - mental leap here

- weren't at the GUU two years ago?

And yeah, obviously there's more stuff confirmed that's not on your list.

I get the feeling that you're not a fresher, however, what's you interest?

My point being, why don't we just invite GLC to return each year, they've been here, what, 2 years in a row now? Well done on making it 3! I was 18 when they released their album, with the average fresher who is turning up this year being 15 when GLC first came out - its not rocket science to work out that maybe, just maybe, this stuff is going to be boring to them.

We need fresh stuff man. I mean, the venue at the QM is capable of so much more than a band who were dropped by their record label and last played at a leisure centre for the Burberry Workers' Benefit Gig! I love the venue, I love some of the bands we get playing, but, we need to try and pass this success into freshers week!

Hmm. Maybe i'm just naive, but, I think most freshers at the moment will enjoy the musical genius that is Dave Pearce and MOS Cut Up Boys. Unless of course the QM pull of a cracker of gig with someone who is... interesting.

I hate feeling negative about the QM, but I can't help but think the Guardian will yet again read "GUU Tops Fresher's Podium".

P.s. I'm a QM Membership Holder. Not GUU.
