SIMON SCOTT (12k)
Simon Scott is a multi-instrumentalist, sound recordist and ex-Slowdive drummer ("Just for a day" lp, "Souvlaki" lp and the "5ep") who runs the KESH music label from Cambridge, UK.
His work in recent years explores a fusion of digital sound manipulation with melodic and organic textures inspired by his interests in sound ecology, human perception, music technology and photography.He has toured internationally since 1990 (as a member of Slowdive) and has had his compositions featured in a variety of international films, music festivals, theatre productions, sound installations and digital multi-media projects.
Scott's sophomore album "Bunny" was released in October 2011 following his debut album "Navigare" in October 2009 on Miasmah (both albums were"Album Of The Week" on www.boomkat.com). His third album "Below Sea Level" will be released in spring 2012 on Taylor Deupree's label 12k. An EP "Traba" was released in June 2010 on vinyl by Immune Records and the "Silenne" sleep CD on Slaapwel released in November 2010. A 7" on Sonic pieces was released January 2011 and was voted www.textura.org's 'Single of the year'. Scott also co-wrote tracks for the second The Sight Below album "It All Falls Apart" released by Ghostly International in April 2010 and he has remixed Isan, Jasper TX, Machinefabriek and Papercutz.
GARETH DICKSON (12k)
Based around the acoustic guitar, Gareth Dickson's compositions employ effects (analogue delay and reverb) to recreate something of an ambient/electronic soundscape, as well as referencing some of the well known fingerpickers of the past. Sometimes entirely instrumental, sometimes with sparing vocals, always with the idea of exploring and finding new possibilities for an age old instrument. He has toured extensively as Vashti Bunyan’s guitarist and has toured as a solo artist providing support for Juana Molina and Isobel Campbell among others.
It’s great to have Gareth play for us again.
“From Glasgow, a solo artist singing and playing acoustic guitar - sometimes with effects, his songs slip between a beautifully sparse, emotive fragility (recalling Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, etc.) and denser instrumentals (recalling Eno or Labradford)” - FatCat Records
THE KITCHEN CYNICS ORCHESTRA
Those of us honoured to have witnessed the first Orchestra event will lay claim to have heard something very, very special in the annuls of IMP. Don't know what they will do this time around but we are sure it will be musically and visually wonderful. We are simply thrilled to have their second only live performance.

I'm looking forward to this, Thirteen Lost & Found has been getting lots of plays.
Tons of plays here too. Bloody lovely it is. Here's a vid from a recent Paris show...

Agree with all of the above...
Meursault were great, but should have played for longer. 10pm finish just seemed a little bit of an anti-climax.
I prefer Wounded Knee when he does the looping stuff - didn't really enjoy his set. You can tell he's been working with Alasdair Roberts...
Woodend Barn is a great venue and I'm really looking forward to more Deliverance nights!
Nice one Dave!

RM HUBBERT + EMMA POLLOCK + AMBER WILSON
Tuesday, 17 April 2012
The Tunnels (Room 1), Carnegies Brae, Aberdeen, AB10 1BF. Phone (01224) 211121
Doors 7.30pm

RM HUBBERT – (or Hubby to his friends) is a guitarist, founding member of El Hombre Trajeado, and a much loved and respected figure within the Glasgow music scene.
His debut solo album ‘First & Last’ was self-released in 2010 before being picked up by Chemikal Underground in 2011. The follow up ‘Thirteen Lost & Found’ was released in January this year to widespread critical acclaim and features collaborations with Alasdair Roberts, Aidan Moffat, Alex Kapranos and Emma Pollock (amongst others).
A hugely gifted guitarist, Hubby's work incorporates elements of flamenco, folk, samba and taiko and is inspired by events in his life that have, at times, been heartbreakingly difficult. Not so fast with the doom and gloom though because there are also amazingly evocative pieces dealing with adolescence, love and even his dog Mr Bone. The strength of Hubby's playing lies in his ability to evoke emotions in a way that many of his peers in bands with vocals can't even come close to.
Hubby’s technical prowess, combined with the intimacy of his shows has secured his reputation as an unmissable live performer – a fact not lost on the likes of Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat and The Twilight Sad, who have all invited Hubby to support them on tour.
EMMA POLLOCK – is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and founding member of The Delgados, one of the most interesting and influential bands to emerge from the mid-90s Glasgow music scene.
One of the most bewitching singers and natural songwriters around, Emma released her debut solo album Watch The Fireworks on 4AD in 2007 and returned to Chemikal Underground in 2010 with the release of her second solo outing The Law Of Large Numbers . The album is crammed with unconventional arrangements and by Emma’s own admission, was an almost entirely self-serving project. With taut, sparse production, hints of Dixieland jazz, abrasive pop songs; programmed drums and improvised vocal loops – this record is, in short, and in the words of Emma herself, “The truest representation of me as an individual - whatever that means.”
Amber Wilson– is an Aberdeen singer-songwriter who released the much-awaited follow up to her debut EP in August 2011 on the Jagged Roots label. The online release is a double A-side single with a recently penned song, “An Affirmation” alongside a radical reworking of an old favourite, “Raise the Alarm”. This new recording sees Amber develop a far more produced feel than her debut live EP, with a sense of intensity through layers of strings, piano, drums and electric guitar having been added to her line up. Her honey-warm vocals still very much to the fore, its little wonder the comparisons to Feist, Sia and Dido still resonate, though her music is more akin to Sufjan Stevens or Iron & Wine.
Having shared a stage with the likes of Paolo Nutini, Seth Lakeman, Amy MacDonald and Fionn Regan over the past few years Amber has built up quite a following. In the past year, Amber has added her vocals to the track “Past Passes By” on Rod Jones of Idlewild’s solo album “A Sentimental Education”. However she has been focusing on her own solo material and has performed at festivals throughout the Highlands & Islands and further afield in Paris and Dublin.
This could possibly be Amber’s last hometown show before heading off to tour America / Ireland and the European festival circuit with an established London-based band. (We can’t tell you who just yet - oooh how exciting!)

There might be something new coming tomorrow. Probably on twitter. Just sayin, like...
-
If you haven't seen the other thread in the gigs section, there's been a wee line-up change to this. Husband can't make the show and have been replaced by Iona Marshall (De-Fence Records). You may have seen her supporting Laetitia Sadier at The Tunnels before...
And here's a facebook link. Just for you.
-
Finally, a Twilight Sad show that has surpassed their very first one at The Tunnels a few years ago. Fucking brilliant.
-
Even though I'm on hiatus from IMP, I'll give this a wee bump (as naebdy else is!).
Great line-up. Saw Sarah a couple of weeks ago with This Is The Kit and some of the new songs were startling. Will really suit this environment.
-
Went to see this in the Belmont.
Thought it was a great watch and very interesting.
And I'm not really a massive Pearl Jam fan.
Yeah I went to the Belmont as well. Really well made film. The clip of Release from the Verona arena in the pouring rain gave me goosebumps - I was at that show.
Some incredible early band footage - the Singles party, Chris Cornell, Andy Wood, Eddie and Kurt at the MTV awards, the Grammys, ticketmaster hearing.
-
Your link to your facebook page on your signature doesn't work offramp - need to edit that
oops, cheers min, should be fixed now!
-
I'd put their studio albums in the following order: No Code, Yield, Riot Act, Ten, Vs, Vitalogy, S/T, Binaural then Backspacer.
Yas. I love a list.
Vitalogy, No Code, Vs, Yield, Ten, Riot Act, Binaural, S/T, Backspacer
Here's another one.
Verona, London Astoria, London Shepherd's Bush, Milan, London O2, London Wembley Arena, San Diego, Glasgow, Belfast, Irvine
-
There latest album is their worst. Albums like Riot Act and S/T are relatively new, and outstanding though. Yes Shaki, it not all the 1,200 hours OBV.
Riot Act, S/T and Backspacer come nowhere close to any of Ten, Vs, Vitalogy, No Code or Yield.
Into The Wild soundtrack is better than those three as well, I'd guess.
Some of my favourite gigs have been Pearl Jam shows. Time to dig out some old bootlegs...
