2017 Crew Review: Iain Purdie (Mosh) – Da Boss

Good grief, where do I start? At the time I'm drafting this, this year we have published 2098 articles of which 388 are album reviews and 228 are live reviews. We've covered stadium fillers like Guns N' Roses and bands playing venues with a capacity not much larger than our living room.

Lagerstein, Red Rum, Viking Galaxy, Mantis Toboggan – Glasgow Garage G2, 29th Sept 2017

This was always going to be a good night. A nice, small venue and three bands known for their sense of humour and musical talent. Oh, wait... four bands.

A nice of fun, games and japes was promised at the smaller of the two stages at the Classic Grand tonight with no fewer than four slightly unhinged bands on the bill. Courtesy of an understanding venue and some swift crew work to swap the sets around quickly, all four bands actually had a reasonable … Continue reading Psychostick / Footprints in the Custard / Monkey Puzzle / Mantis Toboggan – Glasgow Classic Grand, 22nd Sept 2016

Just this moment popped up on the event page. Joining Psychostick and Green Jellÿ in Glasgow will be not one, but two bunches of local village idiots - Monkey Puzzle and Mantis Toboggan. We've featured Monkey Puzzle before as Band of the Day and Mantis Toboggan are well known locally for being somewhat unstable. Get … Continue reading Local support announced for Psycho Jellÿ Glasgow date
