BANDS ARE SO OLD HAT When: 30 June 20019 Where: Barrowlands Support: Pierce Brothers The Pierce Brothers seem a bit overwhelmed as an already quite full Barrowlands take them to their hearts. Their set is short but full of crowd-pleasing moments and on this evidence they should visit the city again as soon as possible. Pierce Brothers – where’s the digeridoo gone? Tash...

‘You will not be able to plug in, turn on and drop out’ – unless TLS are in the room! When: 13 June 2019 Where: King Tut’s Support: Black King Cobra; Dead Coyotes Any band that comes on to the late, great Gil Scott-Heron’s ‘The Revolution Will Not Be Televised’ immediately has me on their side.

LIVE AT BARROWLANDS! When: 9 March 2019 Where: Barrowland Support: $au$age$; Laurel Band Previously Seen: 30 Oct 2007 Roundhouse, London; 8 Mar 2011 Forum, London This was a good-natured gig – the band seemed relaxed and happy and the audience were here to enjoy themselves and pay homage to one of their own. We had been buoyed up by two good but contrasting support acts. And then came the main...
Tricot 2018

ON THE BOOM When: 16 November 2018 Where: Stereo Support: Band Previously Seen: 21 August 2017 Tricot delivered possibly my favourite gig of last year and tonight they gave one the best gigs I have seen in 2018. They are one of the best bands around at the moment: their recorded output is great and live there are not many bands who can currently touch them for musicianship and sheer verve....
