After our last bout of gigs just about killed us, we’ve taken a break for a while but we’ll be back in March with a popshow that will be unmissable for fans of dreamy girl-pop fronted by singers called Elizabeth.The SchoolThe School are an eight-piece pop group from Wales that makes gorgeous, shimmering pop of the kind Phil Spector had a hand in before he went a bit mental.

Here's some photos from last night's Half My Heart Beats (keep scrolling down if you want to see the playlist too). We went back to our roots somewhat last night, moving into the kitchen bar where we held our first ever club night back in September 08.Apart from some overheating speakers that cut out a couple of times, we thought it went really well. We only found out we'd be in the kitchen bar

It's all been a bit frantic around here recently, so I thought this would be a good time to sum up where we are with Half My Heart Beats right now. The next club night at The Flying Duck is next weekend, Saturday 14th November. As usual, we kick off at 11pm and will be playing indiepop, girl groups and more through til 3am. Our first little experiment with a low-key night at The 78 in Kelvinhaugh

Apologies for the (very) short notice, but Lynsey and I are starting a new monthly night at The 78 on Kelvinhaugh Street, Glasgow. For those of you who don’t know the venue, it’s a really nice pub in the west end that serves vegan food and beer and has DJs (and occasional live music, I think) at night.It’s all come about quite suddenly so we don’t have a proper name for it yet, or flyers, but it

Always several months behind the zeitgeist, we've gone and got ourselves a Half My Heart Beats feed on Twitter.It's a bit sparse at the moment, but we'll be using it to keep you informed about the club night and any gigs we might be putting on, as well as live tweets and pictures during the club.Follow us!

Thanks to David Zacharis of The Smittens for designing this beautiful flyer for our next round of club nights. It carries the official seal of the United States of Independent Pop Music!The next Half My Heart Beats, as you'll see, is less than a week away - Saturday 12th September, to be exact, which is nearly a year to the day since the very first.

As the more observant among you may have noticed, Lynsey and I are going to be DJing at The Littlest Birds Yard Sale this coming Sunday in Glasgow. Here's more from the event's Facebook page:"Turn your rags to riches with a stall at our yard sale in the old school on the corner of Carnarvon Street, Woodlands.

Hello! Sorry for the prolonged lack of blog posts recently. We've been tending to all the other parts of our lives that were neglected during the hectic month of July, and now it's almost time for the August instalment of Half My Heart Beats. We're kicking off at the usual time of 11pm at The Flying Duck on Renfield Street, playing current and classic indiepop, girl groups and more. As ever,

As I've said before, One Happy Island's EP Secret Party That The Other Party Doesn't Know About was one of my favourite releases of 2008 on my favourite record label, WeePOP!. To have them playing at our popshow tomorrow night is a massive thrill for me.The above video is from an appearance they made on a local cable access dance show, Chic-A-Go-Go. It pretty much speaks for itself. If you're not
