First of all, we’ve planned a special Bank Holiday daytime acoustic show with one of our favourite folk-pop bands The Middle Ones and their American friend Morgan Orion. This won’t be a conventional gig – it’s either going to be a house show or an outdoor guerrilla gig somewhere in Glasgow (we haven’t decided yet). Either way it will be on Monday 31st May kicking off around 2pm.
Moving on to Sunday 4th July, we’re extremely proud to be hosting Australian indiepop legends The Cannanes on the Glasgow leg of a rare UK mini-tour. Playing alongside them will be English noiseniks Sarandon and maybe one other band (to be confirmed, as is the venue).
Less than a week later we’ll be doing another special Half My Heart Beats pre-club popshow at The Flying Duck with one of the best bands of the last twelve months, Sheffield’s amazing Standard Fare. They’ll be joined by Edinburgh-based powerpop group Kid Canaveral and the bloody excellent Water Wolves from Glasgow. That will be on the night of Saturday 10th July.
Some of you might remember our pre-Indietracks gig in the kitchen bar at The Flying Duck last year with five amazing indiepop bands. It was one of the best moments of 2009 for us and we’re delighted to be doing it again. We’ll be joined once again by The Smittens from Vermont, Boy Genius from Brooklyn, Gordon MacIntyre from ace Edinburgh popsters Ballboy and Springfactory from Stockholm, Sweden (featuring Peter from Suburban Kids With Biblical Names). That’ll all be on the night of Monday 19th July.
We’ve got a few other things to announce, like guest DJ slots and what-have-you, but that should be enough to be getting on with! We’ll put out more details on all of the above when we’ve got them.
