the Elvis suicide
A week last Friday I went out to see "the Elvis suicide" play at the
Glasgow barfly. I had the choice I could have seen "hell is for
heroes", but the magic of myspace, helped me chose the local Glasgow
band. I enjoyed their set. The first band on, I thought were called
"capacitors", but looking at the ticket, they may have been named
"Kino Box". The sound was Eastern European and it reminded me of
"Beirut". Somehow the Elvis suicide were not the last band to play.
(If you want proper gig reviews I suggest you buy the NME).
On Friday the bands stop playing at 11:00, so they can have a clubbing
night. As I got out of the venue at 2:30, I decided that it is
probably not a good idea for me to stay for the club night. I did try
and chat someone up, but the person told me that they were born in
Florence which frankly was more information than I needed to know
at 1:00 in the morning with a brain addled by Carling.
There is a reason that the Glasgow underground stops at 11:20.
