Live in Edinburgh This Week – 23rd March 2008
What’s happening in Edinburgh this week? Erm, well mostly bugger all actually. In fact, I can’t find anything that I’d really bother going to see this week, but not to fear for one of the first great live events of the year is upon us: The Fence Collective Homegame. But more about that later, because it isn’t in Edinburgh, whereas this is:
Thursday 27th March: Isosceles at The Voodoo Rooms.
Alright, I’m scraping the barrel a bit with this one, I admit, but I had to list something. The only reason I say scraping is because I know nothing at all about these fellows, and I am not entirely sure it’s my sort of thing, on first listen, but Billy from Spins ‘n’ Needles is going along and seeing as the missus is in God Bless America this week I thought I might pop along for sociable reasons. And what a fucking excellent song Kitch Bitch is.
Isosceles – This is Where it Ends
Isosceles – Kitch Bitch
Normally I find Bart’s weekly incursions into this thread to be something of a bane, because it invariably means I have missed something good, but this week I find myself pleading for his help. Is there anything good happening this week, Bart? Anything?
Well, now that’s over with, what’s all this Homegame business then? Well if you read this blog regularly you almost certainly know all about Fence Records. They are based in Anstruther on the Fife coast and every year they all return to the town, invite those of us lucky enough to snag tickets in the eight minutes it took them to sell out, and spend all weekend getting absolutely cabbaged and playing lots and lots of great tunes.
Bands you have read about these pages that will be playing include Down the Tiny Steps, Art Pedro, Rob St.John, Eagleowl, The Pictish Trail, Viva Stereo, Kid Canaveral and of course the two most famous ones: King Creosote and James Yorkston. So you see why I’m excited. A dozen great bands and a long weekend on the Fife coast with my charmingly indifferent flower of delicate beauty, Mrs. Toad. She just goes for the weekend at the seaside really, and doesn’t pay much, if any, attention to any of the bands. Which in a silly way I sort of like.
the kays lavelle at hamilton’s on sunday……acoustic show………
There’s always fucking one, isn’t there. Hamilton’s is right round the corner from me actually, but I’m going to be in Fife unfortunately.
oh well. so are half our band – meaning it will be mainly me. tis a shame but not to worry, will get drunk alone in a bar in stocky.
Shit, man.
I’m struggling this week as well.
Frightened Rabbitt was cancelled.
Kathryn Williams tonight?
Someone told me she was good. I have no reason to disbelieve him.
Maybe we could take the week off?
You know, read a book. Play some golf.
And Barry Adamson at the Voodoo Rooms next week being £18, maybe for the best.
I can recommend ‘Possession‘ at Psychotronic cinema at the filmhouse on Thursday night.
On imdb.com, it’s plot keywords are: sex with animal. lust, art house, vomit and staircase.
Bart, are you actually recommending that internet people go outside? It’s madness, man, madness I tell you!
And Kathryn Williams is not someone I am very keen on. Just a bit too gentle country rawk for my taste, although she has some good tunes.
Yeah, fair enough.
I’ve not actually heard very much.
It was further mis-adventures in straw clutching, I’m afraid.
The only thing I can actually recommend being a Polish horror film should be evidence of that.
or the kays lavelle bart………???!! jsut cause you’re not playing eh!
Well, yes, obviously the Kays Lavelle.
But you’d already pointed that out
Or maybe the Dead Beat Club at the Ark on Saturday?
Hmmmmm?
This thread is an embarrassing shambles on what is normally a sharp, professional website.
Shame on both of you.
Get fucked.
SHE’S AWAY FOR THE WEEK.
Go fuck yourself then.
Snarf, snarf.
why don’t you both go fuck off to homegame and leave us little people to uphold the edinburgh music scene til your return….
…..ps bart, when you free for a practice at mine? :O)
Don’t you two have mobile phones?
Or email?
No.
No we don’t.
Now I’m going to stop publically taunting people, otherwise Homegame could turn into a bit of a bloodbath this year.
this thread has really gone down hill since matthew got involved if you ask me…..;O)
enjoy deathgame this weekend guys and will see you soon
