Helped to organize this gig last night at the Fenton in Leeds and fucking hell that was probably like one of the best gigs of the year already?? COWS ON PARADE totally killed! They're an all grrrl Rage Against The Machine covers band and usually I don't like cover bands but these guys are fucking mint! It takes skill to play like Tom Morello or rap / scream like Zack de la Rocha. It was hard to believe that, in the midst of all the moshers and crowd surfing and sweaty packed dancing, this was their first gig? [...]

The last week or so has been absolutely sensational for gigs in Glasgow. Some i did make, some i didn't make and one got cancelled altogether. Over the course of 6 days from the Tuesday (14th December) to Sunday (the 19th) there were some pretty amazing shows performed and played throughout Glasgow and it's various musical locations.

The week should have began with Civil Civic but they sadly had to cancel their gig at The 13th Note last Monday. But since [...]
Last week on Saturday, I did a gig at Mook in Leeds. Essentially, it's BAD NIGHTS Part II. It was a mad night - made even more awesome by 4 insane bands, 3 of which had totally powerful, mindblowing female lead singers. I have to thank EVERYONE that came, all you folks who played, came to the gig and supported the bands - you guys made the night fucking radddd!!! First up, it was Gummy Stumps from Glasgow, friends of GROPETOWN they had to travel all the way back up to Scotland from Leeds [...]
The whole point of this post is to fucking piss you off. Make no mistake. GROPETOWN is nothing but noise, thrash and more noise. Coming out of the Glasgow artschool / post-punk scene. Harsh, shrill screaming, vague black and white imagery, some notion about art and summat else. I can't hear what they're screaming / wailing about. Are there even lyrics? I don't know. They've got some weirdo's face on their myspace. I don't really care. I like my mess. Oh, also the drummer is from Ultimate Thrush , whom I've had the privelage of [...]
