ALAIN JOHANNES, CATHOUSE, GLASGOW, MAY 17 2025

I haven't been in the Cathouse since 2015, but here I am to see a pioneer of grunge back in Scotland, courtesy of those nice people at Red Crust.


Line-up:

VOLCANOVA: Icelandic turbo-stoners. A VERY sharp start means that they're playing to a nearly empty Cathouse at first. Doesn't seem to bother them too much.

EARL OF HELL: Edinburgh rock'n'rollers doing a double shift tonight - on their own, playing their new album in full, and as ALAIN JOHANNES' backing band.

ALAIN JOHANNES: The aforementioned pioneer of grunge. He has worked with Mark Lanegan, Queens of the Stone Age, Pearl Jam, Desert Sessions, amongst others, had his own band Eleven, and released solo stuff. And now he's here in Glasgow with Earl of Hell. Who don't do grunge.

Last time I saw him, he had a hat. He doesn't have a hat tonight.
