A New Glasgow Music Festival - Commercial Alternative


One of my favourite annual events in Glasgow used to be the Hey You Get Off My Pavement festival at Mono. It was a bit sad to see it disappearing off the calendar, along with the demise of Indian Summer a bit of a gap seemed to have been left in the alternative Scottish festival circuit. So I was chuffed as fuck today to find out that an all day music festival is being put on at Mono on Sunday 4th July. Featuring 9 cracking local bands, the events sounds very similar to the aforementioned 'Hey You...' event, with band playing inside the venue while a large covered beer garden will be available to guests on the paved area of King's Court.
Right on with the important stuff, who's playing at it, well here you go.....
The Phantom Band, Comet Gain, 1990s, Remember Remember, Spectrals, Girls Names, Astral Planes, Peter Parker and Golden Grrrls.

Ooft! That's a quality wee line up, tickets are only £20 (plus booking fee), and they're are available from Monorail Music and Tickets Scotland. With only 300 tickets available this should sell out well in advance, so you might want to get your tickets bought sooner rather than later.

Homecome-king


Earlier in the week the lineup of the of Homecoming Live was announced, I had toyed with the idea of posting about it, but to be honest I found the whole event so ill thought out it didn't deem worthy of inflicting upon the good folk that come on here. Taking place at the SECC on the weekend of St. Andrews Day the event is supposed to be a celebration of Scottish Music, so why on earth the organisers reckon that a stage featuring the old irrelevant codgers stage and the random as fuck stage, seriously King Creosote on the same bill as the View, which smart arse came up with that idea. Bugger ,I have succumbed and posted about it, and I really didn't mean or want to, honestly I didn't. No seriously, honest, cross my heart, but as it's the giant elephant in corner of the room that I can't avoid. There is a glimmer of light that might seem more appealing than being surrounded by thousands View fans (or neds as they are more commonly known), and that is the rather cracking alternative that is being offered up at King Tuts, which includes The Pastels, the 1990s, Sergeant and We Were Promised Jetpacks. Tickets are on sale as of now, just click on the links.

Fri. 27th - The Pastels + 1990's
Sat. - 28th Sergeant
Sun 29th - We Were Promised Jetpacks

Before I go, I have one last gripe, Tommy Reilly on the coffin dodgers stage, ultimate fail

Two new 1990's tunes


With a new album well on its way, we should be seeing a new 1990's album some time next year, hurrah! Here's what Jackie had to say in his myspaz blog (anyone else reckon he looks like a buck toothed Steve Lurpack?)

"This evening I managed to put up a coupla demos we did earlier in the year. Don't really wanna spoil the surprise of the new album (February or March i guess, more news later) but we've been playing VONDELPARK and THE BOX for aeons now so might as well put up a version of them. They were recorded at ARC practice rooms just south of the river in Glasgow then vocals and mixing were completed in my bedroom in Pollokshields. I'm not very good at technical stuff. All the needles end up in RED. But the recordings have charm and I hope you like em."
