It’s exciting enough when you hear that Brooklyn based folk-rock band ‘Grizzly Bear’ have decided to play Edinburgh despite most remotely successful bands choosing to bypass the city and head straight to Glasgow where the music scene is more thriving, but when you learn that Baltimore dream-pop duo ‘Beach House’ are supporting as [...]]]></description>

Mad about Alice?
Alice in Wonderland arrives this Friday on a wave of hype, controversy, and marketing.

It’s been five years since Damon Albarn has released anything from his cartoon electronic, pop, hip- hop outfit Gorillaz.

 Eluvium&#8217;s newest album &#8211; Similes &#8211; is absolutely striking. I&#8217;ve been a fan of Matthew Cooper&#8217;s work for a while now, it&#8217;s ambient music that I can relate with. I can identify his songs while generally other artists just blend into one happy humming noise that I can blissfully ignore while I [...]]]></description>

Is Tropical are still relatively unknown. Based in London and signed to Hit Club Records they seem a long way from home in Glasgow’s Captain’s Rest. Clad with bandannas across their faces; they look more prepared for an elaborately dressed bank heist than their UK tour. Their set starts convincingly with an instrumental [...]]]></description>

The new album from the Scandinavian siblings is one that is definitely different.

		<title>Live Review: Chapel Club Glasgow King Tuts, 12th Feb 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Kapil Seshasayee
There’s nothing wrong with a bit of creative borrowing. Robert Plant borrowed many a lyric from Howlin’ Wolf and the phrase “Folsom Prison Blues” wasn’t even written by Johnny Cash. There is, however, something wrong with lifting the core of your main single from a hit song by the co-founders of your chosen [...]]]></description>
