We've Got It Covered #103

Morning folks, it's Saturday and once again I'm hungover. No surprise there then I guess, I spent last night in the company of some fine individuals at King Tut's catching The Grand Gestures and Behold The Old Bear, A top night was had, but boy am I paying for it today. If I think that I feel bad now, god only knows how sorry I will be feeling for myself on Friday. As next week I will be heading up to Inverness for my third goNorth,  Scotland's biggest music industry event/piss up. For the second year running, myself, Song, By Toad and The Pop Cop are putting on a showcase gig at the event. So if you're going to be Inverness on Thursday it would be great to see some of your pretty little faces. Anyway, here's a selection of cover versions from the some of the bands that I am looking forward to seeing in Inverness next week...

We've Got It Covered #54

Things are all running a bit late today, as I have just gotten back down from Inverness from this years goNorth festival and boy do I feel rough. For those of you don't already know, it's basically a music industry event with panels and showcase gigs. Essentially I have come to the conclusion that it's a good excuse for anyone involved in Scottish music to get together for 3 days and get smashed together, or at least that's what I did. Hence I am now suffering the consequences of my debauchery, I might try and write a bit more about it all later in the week when I am in less pain. One of the bands who played at this years event were French Wives, a band who I have liked a lot for a while now, sadly I didn't manage to see them as myself, Matthew from Song By Toad and Jason The Pop Cop were putting on our own wee gig with Indian Red Lopez, LightGuides, PAWS and Kid Canaveral. Fucking awesome it was too.
Right I am starting to bore myself with this rambling, so if you've read this far I apologise. It's time to wrap this post up, here's the French Wives covering Orange Juice, it's fucking ace.
