As well as writing relatively badly written reviews of old albums, and plaigarising decent articles I find dotted around the internet, I somehow find time to put on shows in and around Edinburgh & the North of England.
October 16th, Bannerman's
I've managed to blag The Ghost Of A Thousand for a cheeky wee Edinburgh headlining gig in the middle of a tour with some other band I can't remember the name of and are probably shit anyway (Prolly not, but i'm not putting their shows on, so no mentions from me). After a REALLY great impromptu show last September, they're returning for a Saturday bloody night! This one'll be a belter, not only because TGOAT fucking rock, but because support comes from the bestestest hardcore bands from Edinburgh, Glasgow & Brown-Town.
Lavotchkin, from Newcastle;Seriously, seriously awesome hardcore crammed with classic-rock riffs and uber-crusty basslines. Blew Throats off the stage on their recent co-headlining tour. I'll be spouting more hyperbole about these guys in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for a review of their EP "Widow Country".
HUSH; Incredibly awesome, intricate & Doomy hardcore outfit from Glasgow. Think Cursed, Converge & Trap Them (yes, I think they should be signed to Deathwish, Inc.)
Horror's That You've Seen; Way better than a bunch of kids should be, this is 80's revival hardcore, mashed up with modern-era thrash riffs and and uber-excitable frontman. get your gang vocals ready.
December 17th, Studio24 (The return of the infamous floor show!)
God damn brutal triple-header to kick off the Christmas season in the best way possible;
Dead Swans
Mother Of Mercy
Brutality Will Prevail
There'll be locals added too, nearer the time. This one should be everyone's Christmas present to themselves, 'cause not only are all three bands steller, Studio24's floor shows are legendary, and this is the perfect chance to get yourselves re-acquainted with this far more intimate of settings.
Tickets for both shows can be picked up from various places, including Tickets Scotland & ripping Records (Edinburgh only), but there's also the opportunity to pick them up online without a booking fee by going here -

Also, if you journey here, you can check out a bunch of gigs (mostly free) featuring the hardcore/metal/punk delights of The Colour Pink Is Gay, Notebooks, black Mass (Holy Roar), Axis Of, and loads more.
