Maximo Park, The Noisettes, and Stricken City - check them out!

On stage, with Maximo Park!


The Noisettes

I think I just returned from a flight with the Navigator...

Maximo Park - I finally found the pics from that infamous night! (You can't beat it - I was positioned on stage near the bassist at the back so I was looking out at the audience - felt like a right lemon. In order to stop feeling like a lemon, I knelt on the ground. However, after an hour my legs were officially dead and as I knelt up I nearly puked and passed out. Thankfully, my truly Rock & Roll moment passed without projection. Don't know what Maximo Park would have thought of that, tho' they had toyed with the idea of me standing beside the drummer with an easel. Maybe next time...)

Also check out Stricken City - I really liked them - frenetic energy.

I should be so lucky...Zoey Van Goey's Sold Out Album Launch

I am a lucky, lucky, lucky girl. (reference: seeing as how it was Zoey Van Goey's album launch there was an entertaining commentary on what was everyone's first album: Kim's was 'Michael Jackson's 'Bad', Matt 'Best of Hip-Hop? or Rap' (need clarification on that one!,) Michael John admitted to having Kylie given to him when he was about 7, Graeme Smilie's was the soundtrack to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Jamie Savage's was Puff The Magic Dragon.)

I am lucky in that I was able to witness the fantastic album launch of experimental pop troubadours Zoey Van Goey at Stereo Glasgow, finished off with a big helping of the Second Hand Marching Band on their encore song. (I did regrettably miss Endor and the Second Hand Marching Band who were both supporting, but hope to catch Endor soon, and draw the SHMB more times than the last 3 attempts!)

I am lucky in that I was able to get in as twice as many folks got turned away as were in the venue. It was very much a sold out gig, and very exciting to be one of the lucky ones to get in. Thank you Martin, Lynda and Zoey Van Goey!

TutSweet: - TutVuVu and a bit of Aidan Moffat

Aidan's night would have been great: RM Hubbert, plus Malcolm Middleton making a surprise guesting, even the line up of Aidan's 'Best Ofs' tonight - Alun on guitar, Stevie on Bass, Michael-John on Accordian - but I only managed three of the first sumptuous offerings before I made my goodbyes. I hope Aidan plays again in Glasgow before the year is out.

I had torn myself away from this splendid gig since via serendiptious chancings, I had heard TutVuVu were doing an even rarer performance at the GFM recording studios and felt I had to be there, most definitely. And they were Great. You did notice that capital G didn't you?

Post-gig, some classic Blues, Rythm & Blues and Sweet Rock and Roll played out for some great eclectic boogying. You cannot beat a baaaad blues boogie, no way.
