INCENDIARY BATS, BANSHEE LABYRINTH, EDINBURGH, FEBRUARY 28 2026

 Closing out the month with...



Line-up:

THE OMEGA CORRIDOR: Local indie/post-punks, been around, on and off, for aaaaages. Haven't seen them since 2015, I think. The classic three-piece of Bass, Guitar and Phone. Very much influenced, I think, by Joy Division. This gig tonight is the first time Stephen and Andy have played together for eleven years. Coincidentally, I reckon that was the last time I saw them...

INCENDIARY BATS: Named after a bizarre American WW2 project which proposed dropping bombs loaded with live bats, affixed with incendiary grenades, over Japanese cities. These were to roost in wooden buildings where they would be detonated, causing huge fires and general mayhem. The project was abandoned, and the Americans went with the much more sensible atomic bomb instead. And now they're a local indie punk band.

Four-piece, what one might call 'mature', but still more than capable of raising a racket. Sound vaguely like the Dead Kennedys at times, I reckon. But I'm no expert.
