Shut Up and Eat Your Music

that was the show that wasn't

Ok, you were promised a feat of unsigned Glasgow bands, but once again, twas but a calculated ruse!!! Instead, you can hear tracks by bands playing Glasgow this week, both big and small, including the Phantom Band, Dillinger Four and Porcupine Tree. Also, Nick offered up some random selections including one to represent his concept of a "reggae xmas" this year, Tito and Tarantulas wonderful "After Dark" and some more than welcome Canned Heat.

As i said, we are actively working on our reboot, but meantime i will strive to compile a "best of" for next week, then get ready for an epic 2 hour show on xmas eve. Lovely.

CHAFINCH, ALBATROSS!! You'll have to listen to find out why i say that, and also to not hear the origin of the term POPPYCOCK!

Yeah, we're weird. Deal with it.

Team shut up and eat your music.

shut up and eat your best of year part 1

Howdy! So this week and next week we will be doing our "best of year", playing and talking about the best bands Nick and I have seen at Pivo Pivo and elsewhere. I'd started out making a top 10 and ended up with a top 24, there really is so much quality out there, and even a commited gig goer and venue booker like myself can only see and hear a fraction of what's out there in Scotland. But i think the songs we intend playing are representative of the variety of genres that are out there, and the quality of Scottish music. This is part 1, next week we'll have part 2, then after our xmas break we'll be back with a "rebooted" format that will be more focused on local unsigned bands and live studio sets.

Now Shut up and Eat Your Music
