‘Philly’ Angelo Collins, Saleem Andrew McGroarty<br />

and Vic Galloway of CHECK MASSES have helped<br />

shape the sound of their hometown of Edinburgh<br />

for years through underground gigs, club culture<br />

and broadcasting. Debut album, Nightlife flits<br />

between the shadows, smudging the lines<br />

between cinematic hip-hop collages, expansive<br />

dub, wiry electronics, psychedelia and Lynchian<br />

unease across 10 superb tracks. Nightlife<br />

Remixed takes you even further into their own<br />

shady but alluring world of psychedelic soul.<br />

Moroccan Skies EP is out 23 July via Triassic<br />

Tusk Records, and Nightlife Remixed in<br />

September. Meanwhile subject to Covid rules<br />

see the band around Scotland very soon! Pre-<br />

21 OCTOBER<br />

JUST MUSTARD :: At Sneaky Pete’s,<br />

Edinburgh. Just Mustard consist of vocalist Katie<br />

Ball, guitarists David Noonan (also backing<br />

vocals) and Mete Kalyon, bassist Rob Clarke,<br />

and drummer Shane Maguire. Their heady blend<br />

of noise, trip hop, and electronic-influenced<br />

music has helped them build a reputation as one<br />

of Ireland’s most thrilling new bands. Their <strong>20</strong>18<br />

debut ‘Wednesday’ earned acclaim at home and<br />

abroad – most notably capturing a Choice Music<br />

Prize nomination for Irish Album of the Year.<br />

Fader praised the band’s “intense and rich<br />

shoegaze-meets-noise sound,” NME called their<br />

album “a two-toned masterpiece,” the Irish<br />

Independent described it as “a swirling<br />

atmosphere-heavy thrill-ride,” and Stereogum<br />

said “it’s easy to imagine Just Mustard garnering<br />

more international attention in the near future”.<br />

Their <strong>20</strong>19 double A-side ‘Frank/October’ earned<br />

spotlights from KEXP as a ‘Song Of The Day’ and<br />

from BBC Radio 1 as ‘Tune Of The Week’. The<br />

band supported Fontaines DC on their sold out<br />

<strong>20</strong>19 UK tour, and emerged as a ‘band of the<br />

weekend’ at Brighton’s Great Escape Festival -<br />

The Independent (“worth waiting for”), Dork<br />

(“unforgettable”), DIY (“a monstrous wall of<br />

sound”), Gigwise (“cinematic at every turn”),<br />

Loud And Quiet (“distinctly fixating and eerie”).<br />

They were a highlight of Primavera in <strong>20</strong>19, with<br />

NME calling them one of the “12 best acts” of<br />

the festival, and that same year were also<br />

handpicked by Robert Smith to support The Cure<br />

at Dublin’s Malahide Castle. More new music<br />

coming soon.<br />

23 OCTOBER<br />

THE SAY AWARD :: At The Usher Hall,<br />

Edinburgh. The winner of The SAY Award will<br />

be awarded £1,000 and their own bespoke<br />

award. Following a digital edition in <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>, the<br />

event returns as a physical ceremony,<br />

welcoming guests to Edinburgh’s Usher Hall. For<br />

the first time since the award’s inception, music<br />

fans are able to join the celebrations and<br />

purchase tickets to attend one of the most<br />

exciting nights in Scotland’s musical calendar.<br />

This year’s Ceremony (marking the award’s 10th<br />

diversity of Scottish music; past, present and<br />

future.<br />

Cutkelvin who said, “..that hook is SO catchy,<br />

we’ll be singing it for sure. Katherine is definitely<br />

reeling us in with those ear worms..I love it, I<br />

love it” Championed by Vogue Italia, Artist of<br />

CHUBBY AND THE GANG :: At Mash House,<br />

Edinburgh. Fast rising London punk 5-piece<br />

Chubby and the Gang have announced a bumper<br />

40-date tour of the UK and Ireland through<br />

November and December of this year offering a<br />

chance for many to finally see just why they've<br />

become one of the most exciting and talkedabout<br />

punk bands in the world over the past<br />

year. Fronted by Manning (a former cabbie who<br />

now also works as an electrician), Chubby and<br />

the Gang have been leading a pack of bands<br />

coming out of a new wave of British Hardcore.<br />

Speed Kills was one of the critical surprises of<br />

the year thanks to its unrelentingly fun<br />

concoction of hardcore, pub rock, doo wop, and<br />

blues. The album was produced by Jonah Falco<br />

of F**ked Up, and boasts songs of deep<br />

substance and political conscience with a precise<br />

sense of time and place. It received an 8.0<br />

Pitchfork review, Stereogum praised its “massive<br />

barroom gang choruses, power chords at<br />

breakneck tempos, rock spelled R-A-W-K and<br />

visceral gratification,” while The Guardian<br />

declared them "UK punk's most vital new band"<br />

for years through underground gigs, club culture<br />

and broadcasting. Debut album, Nightlife flits<br />

between the shadows, smudging the lines<br />

between cinematic hip-hop collages, expansive<br />

dub, wiry electronics, psychedelia and Lynchian<br />

unease across 10 superb tracks. Nightlife<br />

Remixed takes you even further into their own<br />

shady but alluring world of psychedelic soul.<br />

Moroccan Skies EP is out 23 July via Triassic<br />

Tusk Records, and Nightlife Remixed in<br />

September. Meanwhile subject to Covid rules see<br />

the band around Scotland very soon! Pre-Order<br />

JAWS :: At The Mash House, Edinburgh. JAWS<br />

take to the road this winter for their first live<br />

dates since <strong>20</strong>19. The band’s new limited edition<br />

book includes intimate behind the scenes<br />

photographs and captivating images from the<br />

stage during the band’s <strong>20</strong>19 tour dates in<br />

Bristol, Southampton, Oxford, Nottingham,<br />

Liverpool, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Belfast, Dublin,<br />

Leeds and Coventry. Speaking about the book,<br />

Connor elaborates: "Originally there was no<br />

intention to make a book, we had Peter out on<br />

the road with us taking pictures but we thought<br />

it would be cool to use all the photos from one<br />

period of time to create something physical<br />

rather than images just sitting on Instagram or<br />

my hard drive for the rest of time. We’re all<br />

really happy with how the book has turned out,<br />

and hope that other people can find just as much<br />

enjoyment out of it as we do flicking back<br />

through it."<br />

DJANGO DJANGO :: At The Mash House,<br />

Edinburgh. Back in the old world at the start of<br />

<strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>, our psychedelic punk heroes The Lovely<br />

Eggs were primed to release their new album ‘I<br />

Am Moron’ – their greatest work yet, overflowing<br />

with political venom and fresh ideas, set<br />

to a gloriously independent noise. Then, of<br />

course, the pandemic happened. The Lovely<br />

Eggs pushed ahead, and the album came out to<br />

critical-acclaim and indie chart-topping status,<br />

but their plans to tour it far and wide were<br />

obviously scuppered. At first, their UK tour was<br />

rescheduled to just two months later, thinking<br />

there’s no way the pandemic could last more<br />

than a few weeks…. Fast forward a year, their<br />

UK tour has been rebooked independently by the<br />

band at least five times and The Lovely Eggs are<br />

still yet to play the new album live, but new tour<br />

dtaes are now on sale for <strong>20</strong>22.<br />

MADNESS :: At SSE Hydro, Glasgow.<br />

Madness have today announced their sureto-be<br />

triumphant return to the road with ‘The<br />

Ladykillers Tour’. After 18 months cooped up<br />

considering their career options (punctuated<br />

by excursions out for critically acclaimed<br />

docu-series ‘Before We Was We’ and last<br />

night’s magnificent ‘The Get Up!’ more on<br />

which later) the Nutty Boys finally get back<br />

to doing what they do best - uniting the<br />

people for a right raucous live bash. And with<br />

a live set teeming with hits from their<br />

unrivalled back catalogue, what-a-tour this<br />

promises to be. Joining Madness on The<br />

Ladykillers arena tour will be very fragrant<br />

guests Squeeze. Squeeze first formed in<br />

1973, shortly after Chris Difford and Glenn<br />

Tilbrook had begun their songwriting<br />

partnership. By 1977 they had made their<br />

recording debut and enjoyed a string of hits,<br />

establishing the band as not just a passing<br />

footnote in new-wave history, but as an<br />

important and vital part of quintessential<br />

British music. Following solo careers, the Ivor<br />

Novello Award-winning duo reunited in <strong>20</strong>07<br />

to relaunch Squeeze and have been touring,<br />

writing and recording together ever since,<br />

returning to the UK album charts and<br />

airwaves with <strong>20</strong>15’s Cradle To The Grave<br />

and <strong>20</strong>17’s The Knowledge. Tickets on sale<br />

Chubby and the Gang have announced a<br />

bumper 40-date tour of the UK and Ireland<br />

through November and December of this<br />

year offering a chance for many to finally see<br />

just why they've become one of the most<br />

exciting and talked-about punk bands in the<br />

world over the past year. Fronted by Manning<br />

(a former cabbie who now also works as an<br />

electrician), Chubby and the Gang have been<br />

leading a pack of bands coming out of a new<br />

wave of British Hardcore. Speed Kills was one<br />

of the critical surprises of the year thanks to<br />

its unrelentingly fun concoction of hardcore,<br />

pub rock, doo wop, and blues. The album<br />

was produced by Jonah Falco of F**ked Up,<br />

and boasts songs of deep substance and<br />

political conscience with a precise sense of<br />

time and place. It received an 8.0 Pitchfork<br />

review, Stereogum praised its “massive<br />

barroom gang choruses, power chords at<br />

breakneck tempos, rock spelled R-A-W-K and<br />

visceral gratification,” while The Guardian<br />

declared them "UK punk's most vital new<br />

band" and NME called them "the scene's clear<br />

front-runners" and Speed Kills "a thrilling<br />

white-knuckle ride through multiple flavours<br />

of hardcore punk".<br />

whose ferocious slide guitar style twists and<br />

turns timeless themes and ideas to his own<br />

ends. He’s a musical visionary unafraid to<br />

trample on the boundaries of restricting<br />

labels,” said Blues Matters Magazine. The<br />

forthcoming studio album is a culmination<br />

everything Troy has learnt so far on his<br />

musical journey, and, more importantly, brings<br />

into sharp focus a much tighter song-writing<br />

and more visceral, muscular production style.<br />

King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut has<br />

announced a brand new one-day<br />

event on Saturday 30 October<br />

presented by Vault City Brewing.<br />

'New Noise' aims to showcase some<br />

of the hottest new musical talent<br />

across Scotland and beyond.<br />

After a successful year due to the rise in sales of<br />

their now legendary modern sour beers, Vault City<br />

Brewing have teamed up with the iconic Glasgow<br />

venue to support the music industry after a difficult<br />

18 months for musicians and music industry as a<br />

whole across the country. New Noise will give the<br />

acts who have missed the opportunity to play live<br />

and hone their craft the chance to play to new<br />

crowds in the Scottish city renowned worldwide for<br />

its music scene.<br />

Headliners The Van T’s make their return to the<br />

stage for the first time since their sold out King<br />

Tut’s New Year’s Revolution show back in January<br />

<strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>. Since forming in <strong>20</strong>13 the surf-pop quartet<br />

have built a strong reputation for their live show<br />

which has seen them share the stage with the likes<br />

of Wolf Alice, The Jesus & Mary Chain and<br />

Sunflower Bean. The band have also supported Foo<br />

Fighters as part of their Summer Sessions show at<br />

Bellahouston Park in the summer of <strong>20</strong>19.<br />

Also included on the bill are jangle-pop band<br />

L’Objectif, post-punks Treeboy & Arc, London trio<br />

Honeyglaze, bedroom-pop indie duo Pretty<br />

Preachers Club, and many more. The one-day event<br />

promises to bring some of the most exciting new<br />

from music across the UK with Vault City supplying<br />

GIGnotes ..... Saturday 30 October @ King Tuts, Glasgow<br />

accompany your viewing pleasure.<br />

New Noise will take place across both the venue<br />

and the downstairs bar in King Tut’s with the action<br />

kicking off at 3pm.<br />

Edinburgh-based Vault City Brewery cofounder<br />

Steven Smith-Hay, who began<br />

brewing beers in his Murrayfield kitchen in<br />

<strong>20</strong>18, said: “We’re very lucky our business has<br />

gone from strength to strength during the<br />

pandemic, as beer drinkers became a bit more<br />

experimental and began to develop a taste for our<br />

modern sour beers. We want to pay it forward to<br />

those who have been unable to work and reach<br />

their audience. I missed going to see live music so<br />

much – but that pales in comparison to how live<br />

musicians who have been starved of their livelihood<br />

must feel.<br />

“Partnering with a venue as iconic as King Tut’s is a<br />

dream come true. Hopefully our new Taproom<br />

venue will have its own part to play in musical<br />

history!”<br />

Chris Loomes, Booker of New Noise, at King<br />

Tut’s said “We are excited to be in partnership<br />

with such a like-minded brand. We are both aligned<br />

in the fact that we want to see the hottest new<br />

musical talent across Scotland and beyond shine.<br />

These last 18 months have been rough for<br />

musicians, and we want to do everything we can to<br />

help - it’s important we have partners who feel the<br />

same.”<br />

DJANGO DJANGO :: At Stereo, Glasgow.<br />

Back in the old world at the start of <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>, our<br />

psychedelic punk heroes The Lovely Eggs were<br />

primed to release their new album ‘I Am<br />

Moron’ – their greatest work yet, over-flowing<br />

with political venom and fresh ideas, set to a<br />

gloriously independent noise. Then, of course,<br />

the pandemic happened. The Lovely Eggs<br />

pushed ahead, and the album came out to<br />

critical-acclaim and indie chart-topping status,<br />

but their plans to tour it far and wide were<br />

<strong>20</strong> OCTOBER<br />

ECHO MACHINE supporting THE NINTH<br />

WAVE :: At Church, Dundee. A loud Pop Group<br />

from Dundee, and they have gigs! "They will be<br />

a flippin' hoot!" Echo Machine played the King<br />

Tut's Summer Nights Festival in <strong>20</strong>19. In<br />

addition to performing live, the band released a<br />

number of singles in their first year together,<br />

many of which arrived with accompanying<br />

videos. Debut single St Elmo was followed by<br />

Vibrations, Chameleon and Automatic Love, the<br />

latter being reviewed as a 'bruising, belter of a<br />

song'. In addition to these videos, Echo Machine<br />

collaborated with Thai singer Janine Alissa<br />

Wollmann on a cover of the Billie Eilish track Bad<br />

Guy, producing an accompanying music video.<br />

Their single 'Headlights' was also well-reviewed,<br />

being described as 'infectious discowave'. The<br />

success of the band in <strong>20</strong>19 prompted BBC radio<br />

presenter, Vic Galloway, to name the band as<br />

one of his 25 Scottish Artists to Watch in <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>.<br />

In January <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> the band announced that their<br />

debut album would be called Instant<br />

Transmissions. Glasgow based band 'The Ninth<br />

Wave' have release a new single and video called<br />

"Maybe You Didn't Know". The new single follows<br />

The Ninth Wave's Faris Badwan (The Horrors)-<br />

produced EP ‘Happy Days!’ and their AIM Award<br />

and Scottish Album of the Year-nominated debut<br />

album Infancy. It also arrives as the band<br />

prepares to embark on a full UK tour this<br />

Autumn, including two hometown shows at<br />

Glasgow’s Oran Mor. The Ninth Wave are: Millie<br />

Kidd (bass, vocals), Haydn Park-Patterson<br />

(guitar, vocals), Kyalo Searle-Mbullu (keys) and<br />

Calum Stewart (drums). Tickets @<br />

distinctive chocolatey vocals and mastery of the<br />

Mundell Music Presents ..... VINCENT<br />

FLATTS FINAL DRIVE :: At Backstage at the<br />

Green Hotel, Kinross. It's been some time since<br />

Vincent Flatts laid down "new" music. And, if<br />

you know anything about the band, and it's<br />

inimitable frontman Bertie, you'll probably be<br />

able to guess why. If not, let's just say these<br />

things take time. The album's title, Back in the<br />

Saddle, acknowledges Bertie getting back to<br />

"work" after taking some time out between <strong>20</strong>16<br />

and <strong>20</strong>18. While the songs are covers, each<br />

represents something to him at this time in his<br />

life. So, it's more than just a hotchpotch. There's<br />

a story amid the chaos. But all you need to<br />

know is this: there's blues, there's boozeinfused<br />

tunes and there's a bollock-load of<br />

boogie.<br />

Drummond, Aberdeen. Fast rising London punk<br />

5-piece Chubby and the Gang have announced a<br />

bumper 40-date tour of the UK and Ireland<br />

through November and December of this year<br />

offering a chance for many to finally see just<br />

why they've become one of the most exciting<br />

and talked-about punk bands in the world over<br />

the past year. Fronted by Manning (a former<br />

cabbie who now also works as an electrician),<br />

Chubby and the Gang have been leading a pack<br />

of bands coming out of a new wave of British<br />

Hardcore. Speed Kills was one of the critical<br />

surprises of the year thanks to its unrelentingly<br />

fun concoction of hardcore, pub rock, doo wop,<br />

and blues. The album was produced by Jonah<br />

Falco of F**ked Up, and boasts songs of deep<br />

substance and political conscience with a precise<br />

sense of time and place. It received an 8.0<br />

Pitchfork review, Stereogum praised its “massive<br />

barroom gang choruses, power chords at<br />

breakneck tempos, rock spelled R-A-W-K and<br />

visceral gratification,” while The Guardian<br />

declared them "UK punk's most vital new band"<br />

and NME called them "the scene's clear frontrunners"<br />

and Speed Kills "a thrilling whiteknuckle<br />

ride through multiple flavours of<br />

hardcore punk".<br />

been invited to take part<br />

in the 'Official Johnny<br />

Cash Heritage Festival'<br />

broadcasting live from<br />

Dyess, Arkansas, USA,<br />

from 15-16 October.<br />

Dean’s contribution includesd some specially recorded<br />

songs and a talk about the Cash Back in Fife festival he<br />

organised in Fife in <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>, which celebrated Cash’s legacy<br />

including his family roots in Scotland. The festival included<br />

a concert by Rosanne Cash from the living room of Johnny’s<br />

boyhood home in Dyess, a starry lineup of performers, plus<br />

various presentations and the chance to interact online.<br />

Passes are valid for 7 days. An annual event, organised by<br />

the Historic Dyess Colony: Johnny Cash Boyhood Home,<br />

<strong>20</strong>21’s festival is embracing the global potential of being<br />

wholly online. More about the festival @<br />

www.JohnnyCashHeritageFestival.com<br />

Dean has many new plans as life gets moving again ...<br />

despite the global pandemic, award winning Scottish singer<br />

songwriter Dean has found various ways to keep creating<br />

and releasing new music, finding inspiration from Leith to<br />

Tucson via Dyess USA.<br />

Dean is also delighted to finally see some light on the road<br />

back to live gigs, with dates booked for a short south of<br />

England tour with guitarist Jim Maving (including London,<br />

Brighton and Winchester) in November, before finishing<br />

<strong>20</strong>21 with pre Christmas shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh,<br />

with his Southerners band and special guest Amy Geddes.<br />

<strong>20</strong>21 started with a virtual live concert, with Calexico<br />

musicians Joey Burns and Martin Wenk, specially recorded<br />

long distance for Glasgow’s Celtic Connections, described by<br />

festival director Donald Shaw as ‘a hands across the water<br />

meeting of great songs and minds’<br />

Sinner’s Shrine, the full album he recorded in Tucson just<br />

before lockdown, which got the full widescreen, Panavision,<br />

desert noir Calexico treatment, will finally be released mid<br />

Feb <strong>20</strong>22 (a joint release by London’s Eel Pie Records and<br />

Netherlands’ CRS). In addition to members of Calexico,<br />

special guests include Grant-Lee Phillips and Gaby Moreno.<br />

While still rooted in Dean’s signature sound, each song sees<br />

him pushing the boundaries, adding some desert noir and<br />

Latin notes to his musical palette.<br />

The prelude to Sinner’s Shrine – a triple EP release - The<br />

Desert Trilogy – has been released throughout <strong>20</strong>21,<br />

attracted glowing reviews across genres, and whetted<br />

appetites for the full album release.<br />

These recordings are the latest stop on a lifetime’s<br />

journey - from the post industrial heartlands of Scotland to<br />

the untrammelled wide-open vistas of the American<br />

Southwest – as Dean surrenders to the intoxicating sounds<br />

of the US desert states, with themes of love and lust,<br />

sinners and saints, the displaced, the wanderers and the<br />

border ghosts.<br />

<strong>20</strong>21 also saw Dean collaborating with Edinburgh author<br />

Ian Rankin on a new track (Edinburgh Winter Blues) for the<br />

recently released The Wanderer album, tribute to the late,<br />

great Jackie Leven. The album was compiled by Michael<br />

Weston King (My Darling Clementine) and includes<br />

contributions from Ralph McTell, Rab Noakes, Eliza Carthy,<br />

Cash Back in Fife with Dean Owens, Ian Rankin and<br />

Boo Hewerdine and many more.<br />

Dean has most recently been working with Kirsten Adamson<br />

(daughter of Big Country's Stuart Adamson) helping her<br />

develop the songs for her new album, and they will shortly<br />

head into the studio for the recording, with Dean producing.<br />

MADNESS :: At P&J Live, Aberdeen. Madness<br />

have today announced their sure-to-be<br />

triumphant return to the road with ‘The<br />

Ladykillers Tour’. After 18 months cooped up<br />

considering their career options (punctuated by<br />

excursions out for critically acclaimed docuseries<br />

‘Before We Was We’ and last night’s<br />

magnificent ‘The Get Up!’ more on which later)<br />

the Nutty Boys finally get back to doing what<br />

they do best - uniting the people for a right<br />

raucous live bash. And with a live set teeming<br />

with hits from their unrivalled back catalogue,<br />

what-a-tour this promises to be. Joining<br />

Madness on The Ladykillers arena tour will be<br />

very fragrant guests Squeeze. Squeeze first<br />

formed in 1973, shortly after Chris Difford and<br />

Glenn Tilbrook had begun their songwriting<br />

partnership. By 1977 they had made their<br />

recording debut and enjoyed a string of hits,<br />

PEAT & DIESEL :: At The Ironworks, Inverness.<br />

The story began when three Stornoway Cove’s<br />

(Innes, Uilly and Boydie) met up in the house to<br />

have the craic on a Saturday night playing some<br />

music with just the dog and cat watching. After a<br />

few tunes getting thrown across the room Boydie<br />

started muttering a few sentences. As he is a<br />

man of few words no attention was really given<br />

to him until he shouted “Quick, line me out!” Not<br />

a second to spare, a set of old broken<br />

headphones were cable tied to a guitar stand<br />

and this back fed the muttering into a crackly<br />

guitar amp and out came a few cobwebs<br />

followed shortly after with a second that nobody<br />

had ever heard before. What came next was five<br />

gallons of lyrics, verse after verse, song after<br />

song – PEAT & DIESEL WAS BORN!! The songs<br />

wont make much sense to the average person,<br />

Cryptic Nights presents ..... EMMA SMITH<br />

GIGnotes :: Thursday 18 November At CCA, Glasgow. 8pm. Tickets £9/<br />

£6+bf from CCA, Glasgow on 0141 352 4900 or @ www.cca-glasgow.com<br />

Developed during a <strong>20</strong>21 Cryptic Cove<br />

Park Residency, versatile composer and<br />

improviser Emma Smith will perform<br />

The Relentless Approach of Better<br />

Times', a live solo double bass and<br />

electronics soundtrack accompanying a<br />

screening of a film on her work with<br />

Musicians Without Borders in Palestine<br />

and El Salvador on Thursday 18<br />

November for Cryptic Nights.<br />

A classically trained double bassist, Emma’s practice builds<br />

on the language of classical music and explores the storytelling<br />

aspect of folk music from different parts of the<br />

world.<br />

“The Relentless Approach of Better Times is my testimony<br />

to the importance of solid, galvanised, positivity action as<br />

the only way through multiple current global crises” says<br />

Emma.<br />

“A project first started in <strong>20</strong>18 with OCM, it has been a<br />

tough and very personal journey creating and developing<br />

this work, which would have been shelved during the<br />

pandemic were it not for the unwavering support of<br />

Cryptic - definitely an easier option but who said the easy<br />

option was the right one?”<br />

Cryptic Artistic Director, Cathie Boyd, says: “Cryptic is<br />

thrilled to continue supporting the exciting young Scottish<br />

talent Hammy Sgìth, following his Sonic Bites event earlier<br />

in the year, and the following month we will also present<br />

double bassist Emma Smith fresh from her <strong>20</strong>21 Cryptic<br />

Cove Park autumn residency”. Cryptic Nights is all about<br />

discovering and nurturing boundary-breaking artists<br />

producing diverse and imaginative music performances and<br />

this upcoming programme will do just that.”<br />

Now in its twelfth year, Cryptic Nights is a regular series of<br />

events presented by Cryptic supporting emerging artists to<br />

cross creative boundaries with live music, visual and sonic<br />

art, film and new media. Since <strong>20</strong>19 Cryptic Nights has<br />

presented over 300 Scottish-based artists including Anna<br />

Meredith, Rachel MacLean, Oliver Coates, Yann Seznec and<br />

SHHE.<br />

Tickets £9/£6 + booking fee from CCA, Glasgow on 0141<br />

<strong>20</strong>19. In addition to performing live, the band<br />

released a number of singles in their first year<br />

together, many of which arrived with<br />

accompanying videos. Debut single St Elmo was<br />

followed by Vibrations, Chameleon and<br />

Automatic Love, the latter being reviewed as a<br />

'bruising, belter of a song'. In addition to these<br />

videos, Echo Machine collaborated with Thai<br />

singer Janine Alissa Wollmann on a cover of the<br />

Billie Eilish track Bad Guy, producing an<br />

accompanying music video. Their single<br />

'Headlights' was also well-reviewed, being<br />

described as 'infectious discowave'. The success<br />

of the band in <strong>20</strong>19 prompted BBC radio<br />

presenter, Vic Galloway, to name the band as<br />

one of his 25 Scottish Artists to Watch in <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>.<br />

In January <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> the band announced that their<br />

debut album would be called Instant<br />

Transmissions.<br />

29 OCTOBER<br />

WREST with support THE BOY WITH THE<br />

LION HEAD :: At Mac Arts, Galashiels. Wrest<br />

are a hotly-tipped Scottish indie folk-rock band,<br />

making music from Edinburgh's Old Town. Their<br />

sound combines soaring guitars with layered<br />

lyrics and heartfelt melodies, reminiscent of<br />

bands like Frightened Rabbit, The National,<br />

Idlewild, Snow Patrol and We Were Promised<br />

Jetpacks. Don’t miss this must-see gig from one<br />

of Scotland’s most exciting emerging live acts.<br />

10 DECEMBER<br />

CHUBBY AND THE GANG :: At Think Tank,<br />

Newcastle. Fast rising London punk 5-piece<br />

Chubby and the Gang have announced a bumper<br />

40-date tour of the UK and Ireland through<br />

November and December of this year offering a<br />

chance for many to finally see just why they've<br />

become one of the most exciting and talkedabout<br />

punk bands in the world over the past<br />

year. Fronted by Manning (a former cabbie who<br />

now also works as an electrician), Chubby and<br />

the Gang have been leading a pack of bands<br />

coming out of a new wave of British Hardcore.<br />

Speed Kills was one of the critical surprises of<br />

the year thanks to its unrelentingly fun<br />

concoction of hardcore, pub rock, doo wop, and<br />

blues. The album was produced by Jonah Falco<br />

of F**ked Up, and boasts songs of deep<br />

substance and political conscience with a precise<br />

sense of time and place. It received an 8.0<br />

Pitchfork review, Stereogum praised its “massive<br />

barroom gang choruses, power chords at<br />

breakneck tempos, rock spelled R-A-W-K and<br />

visceral gratification,” while The Guardian<br />

declared them "UK punk's most vital new band"<br />

and NME called them "the scene's clear frontrunners"<br />

and Speed Kills "a thrilling whiteknuckle<br />

ride through multiple flavours of<br />

hardcore punk".<br />

DEAN OWENS with JIM MAVING :: At<br />

Hemelvaart, Ayton, Berwickshire. Dean Owens is<br />

delighted to finally see some light on the road<br />

back to live gigs, with dates booked for a short<br />

south of England tour with guitarist Jim Maving<br />

in November, before finishing <strong>20</strong>21 with pre<br />

Christmas shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh,<br />

with his Southerners band and special guest<br />

Amy Geddes.<br />

19 MARCH<br />

TROY REDFERN on tour with 'WILLE & THE<br />

BANDITS' :: At The Cluny, Newcastle. Slide<br />

guitarist and singer-songwriter, Troy Redfern,<br />

dubbed by the British press as “the king of slide<br />

guitar,". Troy cut his teeth and refined his style<br />

over the last few years, playing festival main<br />

stages and blazing a trail across Europe,<br />

Scandinavia, and Russia. He’s also become a<br />

well-known draw on the UK Blues Rock festival<br />

circuit, playing alongside rock luminaries<br />

including Robert Plant. “Troy is a passionate,<br />

intense, free-spirited musician whose ferocious<br />

slide guitar style twists and turns timeless<br />

themes and ideas to his own ends. He’s a<br />

musical visionary unafraid to trample on the<br />

boundaries of restricting labels,” said Blues<br />

Matters Magazine. The forthcoming studio album<br />

is a culmination everything Troy has learnt so<br />

far on his musical journey, and, more<br />

importantly, brings into sharp focus a much<br />

tighter song-writing and more visceral, muscular<br />

production style. Tickets @<br />

26 MAY<br />

THE LOVELY EGGS :: At The Cluny, Newcastle.<br />

Back in the old world at the start of <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>, our<br />

psychedelic punk heroes The Lovely Eggs were<br />

primed to release their new album ‘I Am<br />

Moron’ – their greatest work yet, over-flowing<br />

with political venom and fresh ideas, set to a<br />

gloriously independent noise. Then, of course,<br />

the pandemic happened. The Lovely Eggs<br />

pushed ahead, and the album came out to<br />

critical-acclaim and indie chart-topping status,<br />

but their plans to tour it far and wide were<br />

obviously scuppered. At first, their UK tour was<br />

rescheduled to just two months later, thinking<br />

there’s no way the pandemic could last more<br />

than a few weeks…. Fast forward a year, their<br />

UK tour has been rebooked independently by the<br />

band at least five times and The Lovely Eggs are<br />

still yet to play the new album live, but new tour<br />

dates are now on sale for <strong>20</strong>22.<br />
