Never Make Friends

Last update was 7 days ago. With good reason. The 10th was my birthday. And it got messy. Until Saturday and that wasnt an easy day to deal with either. Now I tell you some of what happened….

Tuesday saw the 13th Note in Glasgow invaded by 45-a-Side loving fools. That being 45-a-Side Records, who were presenting a stuning line up of Scottish talent; Olympic Swimmers / Brother Louis Collective / Meursault / Barn Owl.

It was a stunning evening of beautiful, interesting, engaging and stirring music. And me drinking tequilla as if gravity would fail if I did not. These are four bands that on most peoples lips and rightly too. Check em or be a twat.

Wednesday saw a night of two halfs for me. First was Eddie Izzard. Funny. Then down to Bar Bloc for the launch night of Detour Scotland. Sadly I missed a lot of the carnage, and I mean carnage. Though still had to fight my way in the door and then took 20mins to get a drink, though this was mostly as I meet nearly everyone I know from every part of the music scene & industry. All of whom regailled tales of the evenings amazing events. To recap, I missed; the Premier of Detour Scotlands video of kidnapping Bronto Skylift and having them play under a bridge in Stirling, an outdoor acoustic set by This Silent Forest (which cause a people jam on Bath Street), an indoor acoustic set by Idlewilds Rod Jones & a stunning as always performance from Lions. Chase. Tigers.

As is the way I was there in time for Bronto Skylifts set. Fuck me. I see these boys alot but. Fuck. Me. Pictures describe it better than I. So here….

Once the hell hounds had been re-caged I did some DJ’ing, drank some rum and then fucked off to bed. Please with what I had seen & heard. If Detour can do half the carnage of this night for their future podcasts & events no one will be able to complain.
