Saturday night was our first stint back at The 78 in a couple of months after our Christmas hiatus, and it was a good one! Quite a few people stopped by before and after the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah gig just along the road at SWG3, but it would be nice to think the late rush was down to them and not the punters from the Snow Patrol gig at the SECC... Here's what we played: Lynsey

We had a short break over Christmas but we're back for 2012! We'll be playing only the sweetest indiepop, anti-folk and girl groups from 9pm til midnight tonight at The 78 on Kelvinhaugh Street, Glasgow. Entry is free and there are drinks offers on all night. See you there! Remember you can follow us on Twitter if you want to keep up to date with Half My Heart Beats goings-on.

Saturday was our first night DJing together (Colin and Lynsey) for quite a few months, and it was so good to nestle back in to our corner table at The 78 and play some tunes while a storm raged outside. The photo doesn't really convey how busy it was on Saturday. The place was rammed and it was one of those nights where the music was loud but the people were louder! Hopefully a few folk dug

We're back at The 78 this Saturday from 9pm!  The last few months one or other of us has missed our regular slot but we're back, the original Half My Heart Beats dream team (!). We'll be playing indiepop, anti-folk and girl groups and entry is free. If you're not familiar with The 78, it's a really ace pub on Kelvinhaugh Street that also sells vegan food until 9pm every day.

We're back at The 78 tonight from 9pm! It's a shame that our monthly slot has fallen on the same night as shows from Veronica Falls and The Hardy Boys but if you fancy a mellow night of tunes and drinks then we're your man. We'll be playing indiepop, anti-folk and the odd girl group and entry is free.

So, with our pre-Indietracks popshow out of the way, all that's left to look forward to is Indietracks itself! This year we've been fortunate enough to have the chance to play some records on the last day of the festival in the main shed. If you're planning to come along we want to hear your requests and we'll try to play as many as we can fit into our two-hour slot. If there's something you

 Our Indietracks warmup show with Math and Physics Club, Very Truly Yours, Bubblegum Lemonade and The Hermit Crabs is only a day away! Headliners are Math and Physics Club, who are playing their first ever gig in Scotland. They play sweet melodic indiepop in the vein of early Belle & Sebastian or The Lucksmiths. They've released two great albums and a string of EPs and we couldn't be happier to

 It's just over three weeks until our Indietracks warmup show with Math and Physics Club, Very Truly Yours, Bubblegum Lemonade and The Hermit Crabs. A little buzz has been building about this show and we think it'll be a great night. You can buy tickets for the gig from Wegottickets for the slightly-cheaper price of £6 +bf.

Tomorrow (Saturday) sees our return to our regular slot at The 78. In case you missed the announcement, our night at The Flying Duck has come to an end so The 78 is our main gig and your only chance to hear the best in indiepop, girl groups and anti-folk in Glasgow. The 78 is on Kelvinhaugh Street, just off Argyle Street, and we'll be playing records between 9pm and midnight. Entry is free!

First of all, sorry for the big silence of late from Half My Heart Beats but a lot has been changing behind the scenes and we wanted to be clear on the details before making an announcement. The short version is that we’re bringing the monthly club night at The Flying Duck to an end and we’ll no longer be putting on gigs under the Half My Heart Beats name. No need to get into the whys and

Eux Autres We’re extremely chuffed to be hosting Eux Autres for their first ever gig in Scotland. They’re an indiepop band from San Francisco consisting of Nicholas and Heather Larimer, Yoshi Nakamoto (ex-Aislers Set and current Still Flyin’drummer) and Nathan Berlinguette. Eux Autres have just released their third album, Broken Bow, and it’s a stunner. Their sound has been likened to ‘the

We’re just writing to let you know about a few changes to Half My Heart Beats for 2011. Our monthly night at The Flying Duck is moving from its old second-Saturday slot to a new, regular third Saturday of the month slot (11pm – 3am). Our first night in the new slot will be on Saturday 19th February and we’ll be sending out event invites to the Half My Heart Beats group on Facebook soon (

It's almost time for our first gig of 2011, and it's going to be a doozy. We’re very excited to host Californian indiepop group Sourpatch on their first visit to Scotland. They released an outstanding debut album called Crushin’ at the start of 2010 that calls to mind '90s indiepop greats like Tiger Trap, Rocketship, Cub, Go Sailor and Black Tambourine. The record rattles and buzzes, the

Just a quick message to say there won't be a Half My Heart Beats at The Flying Duck tonight. Instead, we'll be playing records at a sampler night along with the other Flying Duck DJs next Saturday (15th January). Sorry for the short notice! We've been working on some changes to Half My Heart Beats and we'll let you know the full details as soon as they're confirmed. We'll still be at The 78

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of playing some records on the Saturday night of Edinburgh Popfest. It was a great day and we had a blast playing some tunes for those hardy enough to last a 12-hour all-dayer.This was our last song of the night - the lights had come on but no-one was ready to stop dancing just yet.

It feels like a long time since we've been at The Flying Duck, what with Indietracks and everything, but we're back this Saturday to mark two full years of Half My Heart Beats.No bands this time, but we'll be playing current and classic indiepop, 60s girl groups and a hell of a lot more from 11pm until 3am. You'd be a plum to miss it.

The next Half My Heart Beats popshow is an Indietracks warmup special with four ace indiepop bands.It sees twee pop legends The Smittens, reverb-drenched garage stars The Specific Heats, indie rockers Boy Genius (joined by Ray Neal, from 90s college rock group Miracle Legion) and Springfactory (featuring Peter from Subruban Kids With Biblical Names) all on the same bill.It should be a great night

We’re delighted to welcome one of the UK’s most exciting indiepop bands, Standard Fare, to their first gig in Glasgow.The release of their debut album, The Noyelle Beat, has confirmed what some of us have long suspected – that Standard Fare really are something special. They play urgent, jangly indiepop set apart from the rest by Emma Kupa’s amazing voice and funny, touching lyrics.Kid Canaveral

We play mellow indiepop, anti-folk and shoegaze from 9pm til midnight, and it's free!In other news, we're on the verge of announcing at least three popshows that will be happening this summer, so keep an eye out for that. We've got some great, great bands lined up.

Sorry for the late notice, but we will be DJing tomorrow night at Stereo on Renfield Lane, Glasgow for The Hidden Cameras' return to Glasgow.

Thanks to everyone who came to Half My Heart Beats on Saturday and made it one of the most fun nights we've had since starting all this. The bands were incredible and we had a blast. You can hear the lovely people at the Students For Scarves And Charm radio show on Subcity Radio talking a bit about the night on their last show (around the 17-18 minute mark), so have a listen to that.The Social
