MUSIC NEWS Scotland <strong>GIGguide</strong> page 19: glasgow + surrounding area :: fife + central + perthshire + tayside We're working on a comprehensive listing of 2022 festivals, so send us all your event's details to musicnewsscotland@gmail.com 27 MAY DJANGO DJANGO :: At Stereo, Glasgow. Back in the old world at the start of 2020, our psychedelic punk heroes The Lovely Eggs were primed to release their new album ‘I Am Moron’ – their greatest work yet, over-flowing with political venom and fresh ideas, set to a gloriously independent noise. Then, of course, the pandemic happened. The Lovely Eggs pushed ahead, and the album came out to critical-acclaim and indie chart-topping status, but their plans to tour it far and wide were obviously scuppered. At first, their UK tour was rescheduled to just two months later, thinking there’s no way the pandemic could last more than a few weeks…. Fast forward a year, their UK tour has been rebooked independently by the band at least five times and The Lovely Eggs are still yet to play the new album live, but new tour dtaes are now on sale for 2022. www.facebook.com/thelovelyeggs FIFE / CENTRAL / PERTHSHIRE / TAYSIDE Send us all your gig dates for Tayside, Perthshire, Fife and Central areas .

(Subject to Covid-19 Restrictions). ‘Philly’ Angelo Collins, Saleem Andrew McGroarty and Vic Galloway of CHECK MASSES have helped shape the sound of their hometown of Edinburgh for years through underground gigs, club culture and broadcasting. Debut album, Nightlife flits between the shadows, smudging the lines between cinematic hip-hop collages, expansive dub, wiry electronics, psychedelia and Lynchian unease across 10 superb tracks. Nightlife Remixed takes you even further into their own shady but alluring world of psychedelic soul. Moroccan Skies EP is out 23 July via Triassic Tusk Records, and Nightlife Remixed in September. Meanwhile subject to Covid rules see the band around Scotland very soon!

A loud Pop Group from Dundee, and they have gigs! "They will be a flippin' hoot!" Echo Machine played the King Tut's Summer Nights Festival in 2019. In addition to performing live, the band released a number of singles in their first year together, many of which arrived with accompanying videos. Debut single St Elmo was followed by Vibrations, Chameleon and Automatic Love, the latter being reviewed as a 'bruising, belter of a song'. In addition to these videos, Echo Machine collaborated with Thai singer Janine Alissa Wollmann on a cover of the Billie Eilish track Bad Guy, producing an accompanying music video. Their single 'Headlights' was also well-reviewed, being described as 'infectious discowave'. The success of the band in 2019 prompted BBC radio presenter, Vic Galloway, to name the band as one of his 25 Scottish Artists to Watch in 2020. In January 2020 the band announced that their debut album would be called Instant Transmissions. www.facebook.com/echomachinez 26 NOVEMBER www.hebceltfest.com facebook: www.facebook.com/HebCelt twitter: www.twitter.com/HebCelt Email your gig dates to robert.musicnewsscotland@gmail.com
