WE CAME FROM THE NORTH, ST. VINCENT'S CHAPEL, EDINBURGH, OCTOBER 14 2022

A real mixed bag, this one. Stew at Fuzz Bat Gigs hosts a diverse bunch of locals in a rather nice venue. It's a church, lovely acoustics, lots of natural reverb. Cold, though.

Line-up:

WE CAME FROM THE NORTH: Veteran post-rockers in what feels like the natural habitat of a post-rock band.

MONI JITCHELL, BANSHEE LABYRINTH, EDINBURGH, JUNE 23 2023

Glasgow duo MONI JITCHELL launching their new 'Unreal' EP in Edinburgh. And launching it very hard and very fast.

Line-up:

MONI JITCHELL: Savage lacerating noise from Grant (vocals) and David (guitar). What you see in the photo above is all there is - two small cabs, one atop the other, one guitar and a little box with knobs on. And enough volume to strip the skin from your face.

GRAVELLE: Not entirely sure what genre this duo occupies. Pretty much all of them, really. - Goth, Industrial, Art-rock, Electro pop, Cabaret, Metal and more.

PORTABLE HEADS: Fugazi-esque indie/post punk from Dundee, and the only band tonight employing a traditional guitars/drums/bass/vocals format.
