Jnr back on stage tomorrow night up in Glasgow, headline slot at Nice N Sleazys...sold a good chunk of tickets too...hopefully the train strike won't cause too many drop-outs. Here's a good montage of their last gig...
Cracking night on Saturday...some footage of one of Jnrs new tunes...sound wasn't the greatest, although I was about 2 feet away from a huge speaker! Check out my boys drum solo in the middle of the song - he's smashing it!!
@sb_73 don't know if you're aware, but just got notification that Nick Cave is at All Points East on Sunday...tickets selling fast... https://www.festicket.com/eventgenius/all-points-east/shop/30091/
Yeah, can’t make it sadly. This is turning into a life quest… In the meantime this is either genius or garbage according to personal taste. Very obviously genius in my book, and man can these blokes play, despite the industrial amounts of hallucinogenic substances that have obviously been consumed. The drummer with pants on his head and a monocle is incredible. And can Beefheart actually play the sax or not?

Compston has said that he will look to sign up top acts to play in the fundraiser for the Ardgowan Hospice. The Scots film star added that he is hoping thousands of partygoers will flock to Battery Park in Greenock to attend the charitable party. Among the acts Compston is looking to attract to Inverclyde are Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Calvin Harris and Paolo Nutini. 5 minute walk from the house! He was on The One Show on Thursday talking about this, and he's now got the backing of the local council too!
Review of jnrs gig last week, very positive... alternativerose666 2 days ago 4 min Frantic Love/The Accolades/The Skins - 20/08/2022 - Nice N Sleazy, Glasgow A lineup that shouldn't necessarily fit together proved that wrong with a high intensity show that saw each band reach new heights at Nice N Sleazy in Glasgow last weekend. With this being The Skins largest headline show to date, The Accolades first gig in Glasgow and just an overall first gig for Frantic Love this is one I'm very happy I didn't miss. The Skins Headliner for the night was Inverclyde's indie punk group The Skins and I couldn't of asked for a better band to close the night. Having never seen these guys before I didn't know what to expect and looking at them before they took to the stage nothing could have prepared me for the intense, attention holding performance that was away to happen. To look at these guys you would expect or at least I did, a typical indie outfit. This however was not the case. The Skins do have an indie element about them but their sound seems to lean more in a punk direction, it's loud aggressive and a performance I personally could not take my eyes away from. From the second the frontman came on stage the whole place felt like it exploded with energy from the crowd to the band themselves. These guys seem to leave everything on the stage and at moments there's almost this sense of vulnerability, as if you are seeing everything. The Skins performed some originals including new single 'Binds (Play Me)' which has quickly become a favourite of mine. The group also treated the audience to a selection of covers such as Idles 'Colossus', a tuned down version of Skepta's 'Shutdown' and crowd pleaser 'Baby One More Time' from Britney Spears, which had everyone happily singing and dancing along. A highlight of this set for me was actually their cover of Idles 'Colossus' as it gave what felt like a more emtional tone to the already great song and I think The Skins really managed to make that song their own. In my opinion The Skins are one of those bands that you can't capture their energy without seeing them live, it really is something else so if you get the chance I would highly recommend checking them out.

When we saw them perform this a few months back, everyone was screaming "GO" at the right times, it was brilliant!
