Clutch - Strange Cousins From The West

Clutch - Strange Cousins From The West

(3 stars)25 Jun 2009

(Weathermaker) Clutch are one of those bands who constantly find themselves outside the circle of mainstream music, and unfortunately, it seems they’ll never transcend the fringes. This is their ninth studio effort and, rather unspectacularly, keeps…

Sara Tavares - Xinti

Sara Tavares - Xinti

(4 stars)25 Jun 2009

(World Connection) Portuguese singer Sara Tavares writes amazing songs, delivering them with one of the most shape-shifting voices around, a fusion of the gentle and wistful with subtly buoyant rhythm. Xinti which means ‘feel’, tells its own…

Ac/dc

AC/DC

25 Jun 2009

On paper the idea of AC/DC shouldn’t work. They’re Australian (well via Scotland); the lead guitarist is a fifty-something dressed in a velour school uniform, and their own brand of rock’n’roll remains as wantonly unsophisticated as it was 35 years ago.

Ancient Astronauts - We Are To Answer

Ancient Astronauts - We Are To Answer

(3 stars)25 Jun 2009

(ESL) This is an album that is very much a sum of its parts as Cologne duo Dogu and Kabanjak lay down some expansive instrumental head nodders and invite a host of collaborators to come throw in some general good vibery. Whether its hip hop legends…

Spare Snare - I Love You, I Hate You

Spare Snare - I Love You, I Hate You

(3 stars)25 Jun 2009

(Chute) For the uninitiated, Spare Snare (voted 46th in The List’s all-time Top Scottish bands poll) have been on-the-go since leader Jan D Burnett set up his home studio in Dundee around the early 90s. An acquired taste, their blend of noisy/trippy…

The Proclaimers - Notes & Rhymes

The Proclaimers - Notes & Rhymes

(4 stars)25 Jun 2009

Hardly taking a breath from an award-winning theatre musical (Sunshine on Leith) and a triumphant global tour last year, the Hibee-supporting twins get all-emotional on their eighth set, Notes & Rhymes. Probably Scotland’s top export, and still cool…

Vjazz

Vjazz

25 Jun 2009

With the Glasgow Jazz Festival taking over pretty much all the live music spaces in town their Vjazz club nights are the perfect way to keep the funk flowing into the night. Featuring Perry Louis (pictured) and his Weak at the Knees night (27 Jun) plus…

Dolby Anol

Dolby Anol

25 Jun 2009

Sticking to their ethics Sick Note is still free entry whoever their guest might be, so it’s great to see Dolby Anol turning in a DJ set this fortnight. Their jerky, glitchy but instantly accessible brand of electro is certainly making waves as Glasgow…

It’s Funtime

It’s Funtime

25 Jun 2009

The Bongo is coming over all Roy Walker with a razzmatazz game show/pub quiz hybrid. Compere Wilson and his glamorous assistant Betty are on hand to lead your team through the perilous rounds of Tower of Strength, Make & Do and Filleted Film before the…

Matt Kirshen

25 Jun 2009

He might look like a little boy lost but the Cambridge graduate in Mathematics quickly worked out that stand-up was to be the tough old game he should be earning his crust in. An impressive showing in US talent show Last Comic Standing in 2007 earned…

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

25 Jun 2009

Glasgow’s West End Festival continues with an adaptation of Ken Kesey’s ground-breaking 1962 novel by dynamic young company XLC theatre. Kesey’s novel focuses on the furious pitch battle between rebellious patient RP McMurphy and the tyrannical Nurse…
