Late Night Tuff Guy
Saturday 7th October 9pm
SWG3, swg3.tv
It’s gonna be a beautiful night.
Cam Bianchetti is one of Australia’s
most enduring dance music artists.
An influencer during house and
techno’s formative years of the early
‘90s in both Australia and Europe as
DJ HMC, he now dominates the global
disco and house edits scene as Late
Nite Tuff Guy. This seminal figure in
Australian dance music brings his
Prince tribute night to Glasgow’s
home of dance, SWG3. LNTG’s USP is
how he interprets 'old' music in a way
that younger people can understand.
There could be none more fitting to
curate a night of Prince dance floor
fillers. A talented musician in his
own right, Cam Bianchetti is also a
true Prince fan.

‘Do I Believe In God’

Your extended family, there's always
two distinct sides to it. Mine's no
different. On the one side there are
my older cousins who, in the 70s,
listened to Roxy Music, Bowie, Joni
Mitchel, Van Morrison … on the other
side of my family they listened
to David Essex, The Osmonds, The
‘Rollers, Showaddywaddy. One side
lived through in the capital, the
other much closer to the East End of
Glasgow. One side’s house parties
were the most fun. You could hear
Devilgate Drive or Hold Me Close as
soon as you pressed the buzzer and
opened the door to their ever pungent
close, with welcoming screams
echoing from the landing above. But
whilst through in Edinburgh they
were quietly sipping a single malt
appreciating the virtuosity on the
album Avalon, back through in the
East End of Glasgow we were staying
up late and having way more fun than
we should have been.
This gig is going to be the fun party
and is probably the best one to go to
this month. I encourage you to do so.

Baywaves

Baywaves are a four piece Gen. Z
band from Madrid in Spain, they
describe their sound as 'hipnopop:
catchy pop with a dreamy, moody
skin.' I hear a lot of Brian Wilson
in what they do. This type of music
stands or falls on it’s nuances and
the loose summery feel these guys
seem to conjure must be influenced
by the climate they live in. Another
reference to their sound is the
celebrated US singer/songwriter
Josh Rouse. Interestingly he moved
to Spain half way through his career
and has a similar sound.
Members of Baywaves have also
formed the 'Suave' collective in
Madrid. Consisting of bands who
don't necessarily share a common
genre but do share views on what
having a band is. You can feel there’s
a scene bubbling here and bands will
start to break out soon, it’s exciting.
