Looks as though the Home Office has decided that we are worthwhile hanging on to… Still a few admin steps to go but received approval of our Highly Skilled migrant visa this morning!
Expecting a gentle dose of jangly electro folk last Tuesday we rolled up for Voice of the Seven Woods. One of our favourite haunts Mono (whose vegan tentacles are spreading relentlessly through Glasgow as we speak – 1,2,and Stereo to come) was the scene further adding to the expectations of general hippiness and good cheer.

Our friend Jude has just finished a run in a Dundee Rep performance of Ibsen’s Peer Gynt. An adaptation by Colin Teevan of this apparently unstagable play has set it in a contemporary backwoods town full of manic characters and the vile Gynt himself.
It was a fantastic production – if a little lengthy [...]
We ventured deep into Sauchiehall St student territory to catch members of our favourite grocery store as eye contact leads too.. play a fun, tight shoutie set at Capitol. Having endured a support that took their influences straight out of last year’s indie rock charts and played them like a primary school collage, it was [...]
We swung into tour guide mode for a visit of one of Claire’s friends last month. In addition to covering all our usual Glasgow haunts we also snuck over to Edinburgh for hit & run tour, which included Chhay & my first assent of King Arthur’s seat, for great view over the city (above) and [...]

Our friend and sometime blues man Jamie Flett (nee Invisible Jim) played a low key set to kick off Oxfams’s Oxjam music festival. The set was so low key that there wasn’t even a representative from Oxfam there! They showed up eventually to pass around the tin, but in the meantime we enjoyed Jamie’s usual [...]
We helped ourselves to a dose of quirky german electro/british punk last month with a Von Sudenfed gig at the Arches. Mark E Smith of The Fall notoriety provided vocals and ranting over the top of a powerful reverby electro set fromgerman duo Mouse on Mars. The gig was marred by boring Fall fans being [...]

Sold on the promise of an eleven piece cabaret band squeezing into the teeny tiny basement of the 13th Note in Glasgow’s hispter Trongate area, we braved the onset of what seemed to be winter two months early to accompany Claire to an is this music? gig.
First on the bill was Red Redbeard a [...]
In an attempt to avoid turning thirty, last month Chhay headed out of town, dragging a posse of us in her wake. A road trip to keep ahead of time, lay low and pretend that nothing was happening.
Friday 4 pm: Things are looking bright – our rental has been upgraded so we are [...]
