Glasgowmusic newsletter 140711

Hello, how’s it going?

I write to you on a train home from London. I was down to see Primal Scream at Wembley Arena for Orange Rockcorps. Their set was outstanding. It was however followed by P Diddy, and what a Diddy he is, funniest thing I have ever seen live, I started to feel sorry for him and his ‘show’

Last night was the turns of FRIDGE MAGNETS at Death Disco, what a performance, crowd were going crazy! Lots of stories from the few days including skinny dipping in Hyde Park and being invited onto prime ministers question time…

FRIDGE MAGNETS, DISCOPOLIS and the LITTLE KICKS are playing the Captains Rest on Saturday 16th July – DO NOT MISS THIS!

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Soundcloud event at the Apple Store last Thursday, was good fun and very informative.

Stay tuned for an EXCLUSIVE BIFFY CLYRO INTERVIEW coming up from a festival in Norway. Hopefully will have that next week

This Sunday July 17th ‘AUCHENTOSHAN Presents….’ A party at the Black Sparrow. The national tour kicks off in Glasgow this Fair Bank Holiday weekend. Each Sunday begins at 4pm with an Auchentoshan whisky tasting, which is anything but traditional; consumers will taste three key expressions of Auchentoshan with aficionados from the Distillery, trying it with chocolate and also mixed as a long drink with fiery ginger ale and a wedge of orange. As the whisky tasting ends, the music unfolds with nomadic collective Thunder Disco Club, Jacques Renault, Biliy Woods and Rory Bicep. www.auchentoshan.com
