Yep, I second these words. Rubadub specials look always amazing.

(313) Model 500 live in Glasgow
Well, now that Tom has unsubbed and the list is going to be quiet without him, I've decided to fill the gap temporarily with a quick report of Model 500 who played live here in Glasgow for Rubadub's 16th birthday party. There was a fair amount of preparation needed for the gig so we were all pretty hyped up about it- there were also folk buying tickets for the show who hadn't been seen out for 10 years or more so the pressure was on to make sure it was night worth venturing out for the silver surfers. After an hour or so of warm up from the Rubadub DJ's it was all go- we had to lock the doors at 1 AM leaving a queue half way down the street for the unfortunates without tickets. Juan, Mike, Skurge and Mark Tayor took the stage and it all just exploded from there- Cosmic Cars, The Chase, No UFOs, Clear, an extended jam on Game One, Alleys Of Your Mindahh, it was all just too good. The beats are pre-recorded with Skurge mixing them in but all the basslines and synth parts were played by the guys live- Mike did the basslines, Mark Taylor did the lead melodies and Juan awas doing all the vocoder vocals and additional synth parts- it was loose enough that you knew it was live but tight enough that you didn't loose any of the mechanical drive of good Techno/Electro- even just teh odd unexpted extra bass not or solo was enough to remind you that it was 4 guys and not 4 machines making all the noise. Best bits- Juan adlibbing the lyrics to Dead Or Alive's You Spin Me Round (like A Record Baby) over the top of Game One, the general hug-fest that broke out at the front of the stage towards the end where it seemed like half the crowd were all together in mass huddle of warmth and general goodness, seeing Marco Bernardi's smile when Marty dropped his remix on the new Iridite after Model 500 had finished...lot's of shining little moments mostly lost in the fog now! Then it was back to our Warehouse near Glasgow Airport for the After Party - Skurge was on the decks straight away and tore it up for a good couple of hours- in my opinion he's about the best of the UR DJs because he plays the widest variety of music- the best of the UR back cat AND a wicked variety of other stuff too. Mike and the rest of the guys were all there too, just hanging out and enjoying the vibes. We had a good couple of hundred people there and no bouncers needed at all- good people, good music, great night. Eventually the night had to end- think I staggered out at around 12-ish to the most brutal sunny day I remember in a long time- watched the football (Rangers v Celtic!) at a friends house and collapsed about 4ish into a 16 hour sleep. Feeling pretty bad today but not as bad as Wilba, Ruadub head honcho who had to get up on the Sunday afternoon to take Mike and the guys up to Loch Lomond (he loves the hills of Scotland does Mike!) and therefore didn't have the luxury of the 16 hour sleep :) It was just a total music-centred, feel good sort of night and really helped me remember that there's more to Techno that arguing endlessley about small details on internet forums :) cheers Jason

RE: (313) Model 500 live in Glasgow
H, I don't mind the lively and sometimes far ranging debates on here (and indeed can't help chiming in sometimes) the basic reason I'm on 313 is so I don't miss things like this. Sad that the first thing I knew about this (it might have been posted on here and I missed it) then was the review :-( Still if it was this weekend I can't complain as I had a truly wonderful night Friday (see separate post) that also fits Jason's summation.

RE: (313) Model 500 live in Glasgow
Thanks Jason but no worries, I never have time enough for any forum other than 313 (in fact I don't have time for that really), I just don't understand how people have the capacity to be on 313, Little Detroit, DJ History etc. etc. Anyway, as I said, I had a good enough night Friday to last sometime. A friend and I were talking about going to London Saturday for some party with Dixon, Fulton, Prosumer but we never got it together so that might have happened to heading North too. Or maybe not as I'd have actually bought a ticket for this. Anyway post any stuff on 313 as I'm way overdue a Glasgow visit. @ Tristan. Just read your post after writing the above (which I was just going to send to Jason). I think it was the magic of going to see Model 500 with the always hospitable Glasgow posse that really attracted me. Although I don't think it says in Jason's post I'm presuming that if this was a Rubabdub party it would be at their legendary gaff which I've always wanted to go to but have missed out on and is only an occasional now.

Re: (313) Model 500 live in Glasgow
Hey Francis- this time is was actually at the Art School- we needed a bigger venue than Club 69 so that we could afford to pay the guys' fee- Club 69 only holds 150 people and we would have to charged about 40 quid a ticket :) They did a free gig there back in July (I think) last year which I couldn't go to as I had booked a nice dinner with my girlfriend without checking the date first.AND I had to come in to work to hear all about it on Monday morning. Rubbing salt in the wounds and all that! We did make some upgrades to the Art School though- for anyone who hasn't been before it's a bit of a Gym Hall sort of venue with a WEAK sound system and plastic glassses (bo!)...we got a really nice sounding rig that was also very loud- we had to gaffa tape the keyboards to their stands on stage to stop them vibrating right off at the sound check! Capacity was 800 people but we squeezed a few more in and it worked out just fine- intense but not so you were getting constantly elbowed by people going to the bar. 2008/4/28 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Thanks Jason but no worries, I never have time enough for any forum other than 313 (in fact I don't have time for that really), I just don't understand how people have the capacity to be on 313, Little Detroit, DJ History etc. etc. Anyway, as I said, I had a good enough night Friday to last sometime.

Re: (313) Model 500 live in Glasgow
They played in The Hague last year, the sound was awefull there but the set was really good though! Actually it was how Jason described it. Only the line up was a bit different back then with Skurge, MM and Blak Tony (if i recall it correclty) and Juan of course. Was a great night with Universe 2 Universe playing before them ;-) We need more quality musicians who can play songs instead of hitting the shuffle button on a drum computer ;-) On 28 apr 2008, at 17:58, Tristan Watkins wrote: - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 4:37 PM Subject: RE: (313) Model 500 live in Glasgow H, I don't mind the lively and sometimes far ranging debates on here (and indeed can't help chiming in sometimes) the basic reason I'm on 313 is so I don't miss things like this.

We need more people who can set up and properly trim a sound system too. There's no excuse for crap sound. On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 1:55 PM, Klaas-Jan Jongsma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We need more quality musicians who can play songs instead of hitting the shuffle button on a drum computer ;-)
