21 APRIL
The Fallen Angels Club presents ..... LAU
"Unplugged" (rescheduled show) :: At The Queen's
Hall, Edinburgh. The pioneering Scottish folk trio have
always experimented with sound and form; the results
have always been complex and thrilling. Already
acknowledged as phenomenal live performers (‘the
UK’s best live band’ – the Guardian), Lau arrived at a
new creative peak with 2019’s ‘Midnight and
Closedown’ (Reveal Records). That album was
produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, This Is The Kit),
who said: “Lau are in touch with their roots but not
bound by them”. The Fallen Angels Club is celebrating
its 18th year of bringing quality live roots music to
Glasgow and Edinburgh.

28 MAY
DJANGO DJANGO :: At The Mash House, Edinburgh.
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 dates are now on sale for 2022.
