MIDNIGHT AMBULANCE :: At Fat Sams, Dundee.
Midnight Ambulance are an alternative rock duo from
Scotland. Back in early 2020, old friends Fraser
(guitar/vocals) and Amelia (drums/vocals)
reconnected after losing touch for many years. When
lockdown hit, they began collaborating as a creative
and cathartic outlet. Their musical partnership quickly
developed into something bigger, writing 70 songs by
June 2020. On Amelia’s return to Scotland, after eight
months of writing together via video call, they finally
had the opportunity to jam live and decided to form
Midnight Ambulance.

ECHO MACHINE supporting THE NINTH WAVE ::
At Church, Dundee. 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. Glasgow
based band 'The Ninth Wave' have release a new
single and video called "Maybe You Didn't Know". The
new single follows The Ninth Wave's Faris Badwan
(The Horrors)-produced EP ‘Happy Days!’ and their
AIM Award and Scottish Album of the Year-nominated
debut album Infancy. It also arrives as the band
prepares to embark on a full UK tour this Autumn,
including two hometown shows at Glasgow’s Oran
Mor. The Ninth Wave are: Millie Kidd (bass, vocals),
Haydn Park-Patterson (guitar, vocals), Kyalo Searle-
Mbullu (keys) and Calum Stewart (drums). Tickets @

DYLAN JOHN THOMAS :: At Church, Dundee.
Glasgow’s landmark 2021 edition of TRNSMT festival
gave a huge welcome and seal of approval to one of
its own on 11 September, as local lad Dylan John
Thomas drew one of the biggest crowds of the
weekend on the King Tut’s Stage. Not only was the
crowd enormous but, almost incredibly, they sang
along with every word of Dylan’s set, including Jenna
and Feel The Fire, the two tracks so far released from
his forthcoming debut EP, out 29 October.

Mundell Music Presents ..... VINCENT FLATTS
FINAL DRIVE :: At Backstage at the Green Hotel,
Kinross. It's been some time since Vincent Flatts laid
down "new" music. And, if you know anything about
the band, and it's inimitable frontman Bertie, you'll
probably be able to guess why. If not, let's just say
these things take time. The album's title, Back in the
Saddle, acknowledges Bertie getting back to "work"
after taking some time out between 2016 and 2018.
While the songs are covers, each represents
something to him at this time in his life. So, it's more
than just a hotchpotch. There's a story amid the
chaos. But all you need to know is this: there's blues,
there's booze-infused tunes and there's a bollock-load
of boogie.
