Murray checked in with this before he took off on holiday...

Messthetics in Edinburgh - Saturday August 8th

THE AXIDENTS / SHOCK AND AWE / 35mm DREAMS / MY T-HI - VIC GODARD !

Vic Godard live album playing from 7.30, first band onstage at 8pm sharp, all over by 10'ish

Henrys Cellar Bar, 8 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8BJ.


PHONE: (0131) 228 9393 Tickets: £5

My T-Hi are flying over from Japan for a one off festival gig with their pop guitar take on life in Osaka. Short sharp guitar songs with big choruses from the world famous Shock And Awe and The Axidents celebrate 30 years since they initially formed in the first wave of post punk by bleaching their hair and growing beards

Unbelievably, the members of much-feted original Edinburgh indie band 35mm Dreams find themselves in the same place at the same time and will be performing a short set together for the first time in 30 years, they recently had a couple of songs released on the critically acclaimed compilation album "Messthetics 105 - D.I.Y. Scotland, 77-81" . As a special bonus the world premiere of the new Vic Godard Live Album "Live in Stereo" recorded in Glasgow last year will be playing in between bands

thanks for the mention Lindsay - if anyones interested in the Vic album keep checking his myspace page for details of how to get it because its a very limited edition, less than 100 available to the public. Its a very nice looking cd and the sound and performance are spot on
