GEIST, LEITH DEPOT, EDINBURGH, JUNE 30 2018

Things change. Three bands here, two of which are no longer as they were. Not gone, just different. Also, the venue, as it is here, is no more. Not gone, just different. As I write this, I haven't been in the new Leith Depot. I wonder if it is as hot as the original...

Line-up:

CULTMASTER: Local sludgepunks, featuring Duncan from Red Crust, on bass for a change. Please note, Duncan is NOT a bass player. Still active, but with, I believe, slightly different personnel.

GLARUS: Hardcore/post-metal crossover, if such a thing even makes sense. Still active, kind of, but in a different way and a different place. Now resident in Switzerland.

GEIST: Hefty hardcore from the North-East. Of England. Still going, and going hard.
