Live In Edinburgh This Week – 13th September 2010
Sorry, this is the best I can do.And since I’m on holiday this weekend too, you’ll take what you’re given and bloody like it.
If I’ve missed anything, comment away.
Tuesday 14th September - Skullflower, Fordell Research Unit, Noma and Scrim at Banshee Labyrinth
“Ritualistic feedback and guitar decomposition”. A co-promote from like-minded purveyors of weirdo sounds Braw Gigs and Winners Dinnae Shiver. Matthew would hate it. Which makes it even better for the rest of us.
Wednesday 15th September - The Vaselines at The Bongo Club
The “Legendary” Vaselines. What’s good enough for Kurt Cobain, [insert your own punchline here].
Thursday 16th September - Naval Cassidy and Usurper at The Roxy
A night of ‘instant cinema and improvised sound”. Again, Matthew would probably have a minor aneurism at the very idea. I really like it when he goes on holiday.
Saturday 18th September - The Last Battle album launch with Matt Norris and Burnt Island at The Roxy
Much-touted rising stars and general good eggs The Last Battle get their debut album out the door. Matt Norris sounds worth a gander too.
Saturday 18th September - Kid Canaveral and Night Noise Team at Sneaky Pete’s
Kid Canaveral are really good. I’ve not heard Night Noise Team. I can’t feel my eyes.
[Bart composed this post last week while frantically preparing for End Of The Road and rigorously practising both with his own band, Eagleowl, and their Canadian comrades, Woodpigeon. He was last seen pogo dancing in a wooded glade in Dorset with a wild, almost feral look in his eyes. His current whereabouts remain unknown.]
You can see my house in that picture.
Just as an addition
Haight Asbury are supporting the Vaselines. They are very good, if you haven’t heard them yet.
Oh, and I’m DJing at the Last Battle event, as well : ))
If I would hate it it means that it is shit, Bart, and don’t you forget it.
Maybe Matthew would prefer The Pattern Theory w/ Luz da Lua on the 14th at Sneaky Pete’s?

Naturally, I’m biased but I reckon he’d dig it…
there’s a douglas firs/fur hood gig at he wee red bar on thursday, which will also be good. and matthew might even like it.
Yes, I appear to have forgotten a gig in Old St Paul’s Church on Jeffrey Street tonight – which is being organised by one of my bandmates – to launch the second issue of Scree magazine:

Conquering Animal Sound and other nice people.
And that above mentioned Douglas Firs gig.
It’s been a busy week.
Leave me alone.
Haight Asbury are truly dreadful, Ed.
Terrible.
I also hear that Pope Benedict XVI is debuting some tracks from his new album on Princes Street tomorrow evening.
Fair enough, Julie, but I’ve seen them twice and enjoyed them!
