Fran and Anna used to attend the same chapel as me when i was an adolescent.

Ayrshire is severely lacking in musical progeny, bloke from Stealer's Wheel, bloke from Pallas, bloke from Belle & Sebastian (stayed there for a while, i"m told), terrible punk bands, one of Nazareth maybe? Idk, who else?

If you're trying to get to know a place through its music, shouldn't you be listening to stuff like the fratellis and del amitri and shite like that as well as bis or whoever?

Weirdly this is the most Glasgow-y tune I can think of, not because I like it much, but in the mainstream in Scottish music all that 'denim jacket and quiff' music was happening in the mid-late 80s and that was when I was growing up.

I'm guessing Glasgow, Luke was in a band called Fenn before LFK with the indefatigable Richie from Stretchheads and for about an 18 month period it seemed like they supported *every* single American band playing Glasgow, I saw them so many times.
― Maresn3st, Tuesday, 10 March 2020 21:16 (four years ago) link
ha there's a band like that in every scene, when i was living in manchester in the late 80s there was always this band called flea (two shouty men and a drum machine, like big black with a staff shortage) who supported seemingly every US band that played in the boardwalk, or if it wasn't them it was the slum turkeys (same deal, but with longer hair iirc)

Fenn! i hazve been trying to remember that for ages. Thanks!

They were good actually, kinda indie grunge, very Glasgow 1990, King Tuts, supporting Midway Still kinda thing.
― Maresn3st, Tuesday, 10 March 2020 21:26 (four years ago) link
While we're on the subject of Luke, if anyone has the CD-R of a band he was in for 5 mins with Jer from Dawson and a few others (maybe Howie from El Hombre too) called 'Shlebie' I'd love to hear that again, lost my copy in a house move.

Increasingly feel the most interesting Glasgow music of the past few years is that which doesn't telegraph its "Glasgow-ness" - whatever that means - too much. And there's always a risk of falling into authentocracy/parochialism/nativism when trying to define it.The Glasgow indie traditions of the 80s and 90s - whether it's twee indie pop or dour post-rock - feel increasingly played out and the further away we get from them the better tbh.The stuff GLARC has put out over the past few years has been great, especially Still House Plants, Bamya, Quinie and Horse Whisperer. https://glarc.bandcamp.com/Comfort absolutely rule and should be getting way more attention than they have so far. That soft issues tape on Penultimate Press is grrrreat. Cucina Povera, Helena Celle, Mercuro Chrome, Fritz Welch, Tony Bevan, Caroline McKenzie, Kapil Seshasayee, Stable... Also intrigued by the mysterious graed. Anyone know who it might be? https://www.lowcompany.co.uk/products/decibels

A pleasure Jim. Howie from El Hombre is still doing lots of interesting stuff, as is Jer from Dawson, P6 from Stretcheads et al. I do feel the official narrative of 90s Glasgow has tended to write out those guys, mainly cos they didn't enjoy the same commercial success as their peers and are harder to fit into the narrative, but they're such energetic and supportive figures. Luke Sutherland's current band Rev Magnetic are worth checking out and he's done some improv stuff with Tony Bevan, Jer Reid et al. Great musician!
