News, gigs and any other gubbins......
First of, if you're free this afternoon and in Glasgow and looking for something to do, then look no further as the next Words Per Minute is being held at Creation this afternoon.

The line up features Kochka,Blue Sky Archives, Campfires In Winter and Jonathan Sebastian Knight, tickets are only a fiver. If you fancy checking out a diverse range of local talent, then look no further.
On Friday promoters 'Gathering Whispers' have a great wee shindig lined, Swedish band Slaraffenland (Home Tapes) who are on tour in support of their most recent album "We're On Your Side", as it hits Stereo in Glasgow. The band have been getting a lot of amazing reviews recently, Pitchfork have even been raving about them. The support for the evening is pretty special too, with Glasgow indie stalwarts How To Swim, recent Scots Way-Hay'ers The Social Services, and Turning Plates completing the bill. Tickets are available here, although you might be advised to buy them from TSS as they have them that bit cheaper.
Edinburgh based band The Remnant Kings have a gig this Friday (10th) at the Wee Red Bar in the capital. The band are using the evening to raise money to record their debut EP, tickets are £4 in advance or £5 on the door, and doors open at 7pm. Further details can be found here.
After my piss poor attempt to 'do my bit for charity' on Fresh Air the other week (if you didn't hear it, don't ask), I am going to do my best to try and promote as many charity events as I can to try and counter balance my actions
This week sees Esperi heading out on a mini tour with the Portuguese indie star, Noiserv. Having met last year the pair really hit it off and became pretty good friends, which has sees them reuniting next week for some live dates in Scotland. The tour calls in at the following;8th – Roxy Rooms, Edinburgh
9th – Tunnels, Aberdeen
10th – Secret Location, Glasgow
11th – n_ilk festival, Botanic Gardens, Dundee
The secret performance in Glasgow sees them being joined by special guests RM Hubbert and Finn LeMarinel (Trapped in Kansas). The location of the gig will be revealed in an email upon purchase purchase of a ticket on 'Untitled 4' s Bandcamp, which also includes a free download from each of the artists, plus as if that wasn't enough you will even be fed on the night.
And to finish us off, here's a wee video that Belle and Sebastian posted this week.....
