PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS, LA BELLE ANGELE, EDINBURGH, APRIL 15 2025

Last time I saw these lads was at the legendary SONIC MASS gig in Bannerman's, which was...let me see...HOLY CRAP! TEN YEARS AGO!

Line-up:

SPLIT DOGS: Abrasive garage punks from Bristol. Enormously energetic, enormous fun. Short songs fired out fast and hard. Rock and, indeed, roll.

PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS: Sludgy riffy psych from Newcastle, they're out and about promoting their new album 'DEATH HILARIOUS', and La Belle is SOLD OUT! They're loud and they're relentless, and that bass hits like a fucking tank. And their banter is actually funny.

MONSTER MAGNET, GARAGE, GLASGOW, JUNE 1 2018

 They don't come much more legendary than these veteran stoners, returning once again to Glasgow.

Line-up:

TABLE SCRAPS: Raucous Birmingham garage punk trio. That's the REAL Birmingham, in England.

¡PENDEJO!: Spanish name, Spanish song titles, Spanish lyrics- obviously, they're Dutch. And they have horns. Not horns like, say, unicorns, but a trombone and a trumpet type horns.

MONSTER MAGNET: The properly legendary stoners, touring their recent new - at the time - album, the subtly titled 'Mind Fucker'. Main man Dave Wyndorf looking leaner and fitter than he had in a while. This was a very, very sweaty gig.

CORNFIELD CHASE, WEE RED BAR, EDINBURGH, NOVEMBER 30 2019

Venue: WEE RED BAR, EDINBURGH

Line-up:

Oddly, the pics from this gig seem to have disappeared without trace, so you'll just have to imagine how awesome they were.

CORNFIELD CHASE: Indie rock from fife, featuring Sandy Power, ex of OUR SMALLEST ADVENTURES, on guitar/vocals.

IDIOGRAM: Hard to pin down genre wise,but we'll call it ambient-americana-jazz/cinematic post-rock. This was only their second gig and, to be fair, there haven't been many more since...

THE TESLA COILS: Bonkers garage punks from Dunbar, featuring a man with a bag on his head. Sadly no more.
