The Next Big Thing

September is looming like a bloody great brick wall and this good weather phenomenon is back. While it'd be nice to be in NY (or Hoboken rather) for the A-Bones blowout, 'tis not to be so we head out to STEREO in Glasgow where V-TWIN were celebrating the finish of their next (and Loog-Oldham produced) album. Unfortunately this wasn't to be because there was no sign of 'em and had to hightail it for a train out to the boonies. It's funny. Kelvinhaugh Street in Glasgow was like CB's, with lotsa people hanging out front. This city almost never has the weather pattern to allow such an event. Openers, RUDE PRAVO give some sort of indication of what Alex Harvey might sound like jamming with Martin Rev and however good that might look on paper, it was bloody irritating in practice. There's probably a Ze-inspired label here waiting in the wings to take them to the rafters but I'm sorry, laptops onstage are up there with those guitars with no heads as a large no-no. I'm gonna try to design one with a neck and machine heads and everything, maybe that's where my fortune will come from? Although I ain't holding my breath here...
