Fantastic gig by Zola Jesus at Stereo, Glasgow UK on Halloween 2014, great fun and Ms Nika Roza Danilova was on top form throughout, bit bouncier and more upbeat than the last time I saw her in Edinburgh, but that’s not a bad thing!
Apologies for the distortion in the audio when she hits some of the higher notes, did my best to fix it but the original audio is worse! She just has such a big voice for such a little person!
PULSE at The Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow, October 3rd 2014.
A great evenings entertainment, with FOUR artists/bands for a mere 10 quid! Sadly under-attended though (what’s wrong with you people?) maybe it was the miserable weather.
First up was Matthew Collings, who did a solid and noisy set
Next to go was a fabulous set by Gazelle Twin, who looked really spooky in her hoodie and mask like some sort of “inner city kid” Dr Who monster! Kinda creepy but cool with it! ;)

Closely followed with an amazing set by Scanner aka Robin Rimbaud which was loud, noisy and beatsy (I was expecting something in a more ambient vein!)

Headlining the night were the brilliant Wrangler , headed by ex-Cabaret Voltaire’s Stephen Mallinder, also a great big beat driven and noisy set – and lots of flashing images and green LASERS!

… and another late one! This time an excellent night – Friday the 13th of June 2014 by Demdike Stare at Edinburgh’s Mash House (which has been called numerous things over the years!) Short excerpt below:
Just remembered in time to get a ticket for this – on the same day as the gig!!!
The support band were fucking awful – three people playing in a different key, tempo/beat and badly mixed to boot don’t know what they were called – don’t want to! But…
Fuck Buttons were amazing & very, VERY LOUD!!!
Unfortunately I snapped my video camera charger cable so had to use my stills camera instead, but it’s not too bad if a little dodgy on the sound 8-/
