  1. Savage Mansion
    https://savagemansion.bandcamp.com/
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVDWhAMTHCk

    Savage Mansion is a vehicle for the songs of Perth-raised singer and guitarist Craig Angus (formerly of Poor Things and concurrently guitarist with Martha Ffion), usually augmented by members of Glasgow contemporaries Catholic Action.

    This show to coincide with the release of debut LP Revision Ballads, which BBC6's Lauren Laverne called 'a reason to be cheerful about the new year coming'. Their third collaboration with Johnny Lynch's (Pictish Trail/Fence Records) Lost Map Records, the album showcases both Angus' ear for a delicious hook delivered loose or frantic and his absorption of all the right cues from the best guitar bands through the years.


    FFO: Pavement, Teenage Fanclub, Parquet Courts, The Velvet Underground, The Modern Lovers

    “Potent power-pop and dreamy fuzz” – THE LIST

    “The real triumph here remains Angus' knack for writing west coast-tinged pop gems” – GOLDFLAKEPAINT


    Star Rover
    https://starrover.bandcamp.com/

    (unabashedly earwormy melody) x (a glut of fuzz and distortion) = SUCCESS
    The Edinburgh-based trio are currently sitting on a freshly recorded album, maybe they will play some songs off it?

    FFO: Ash, Dinosaur jr

    "glorious... fuck your pandering, non-existent faux shite rock – this is how it is done " - podcart.co


    Min Diesel
    https://mindiesel.bandcamp.com

    Local mindie-rock trio. Recently featured in credible music doc "After the ScreaMin Stops", promptly eclipsed by stilted melodrama concerning sibling chumps.


    Tunes before/between/after bands provided by the ever-wonderful DJs DBL YELLOW & PAARKIN' FIINE

    THURSDAY 14TH FEBRUARY
    THE CELLAR // 8PM // £5

    STAR ROVER
    https://soundcloud.com/starrover
    https://facebook.com/starroverband/
    Edinburgh-based guitar-pop trio that know how to write a great melody then feed said melody through a whole bunch of fuzz and distortion with successful results. Favourable comparisons to ASH and DINOSAUR JR not entirely unwarranted.

    TRUST FUND
    (Turnstile Records)
    https://trustfund.bandcamp.com/

    Top-drawer indie-pop from down south, Trust Fund's music fuses 90s alterna-rock riffage with off-centre m/f vocal harmonies and some of the most understated, poignant lyrics.

    The solo project of Bristol native Ellis Jones, augmented by a
    supporting cast of players drawn from the south-west's prolific DIY scene (Joanna Gruesome, Grubs among others).

    FFO Superchunk, Belle & Sebastian, Pavement, Los Campesinos!, Weezer

    "immensely catchy guitar-powered singsong that manages to be melancholy and chipper at the same time"- Stereogum

    "Wonderful... Chaotic, messy, pretty, poignant" - Gold Flake Paint


    Lush Purr
    https://electropapknit.bandcamp.com/album/lush-purr

    Low-key, lo-fi wonky pop. Hints of MBV but sleepier at times. Shades of The Pastels too. Or Pixies but like... underwater? Feat members of The Yawns, Copy Haho, many other excellent projects.
