WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED??!

struggletown:

A shared space that could work for band practices, live shows, exhibitions and all ages/no booze shows.

I’m not straight edge, but if you bring kids into the equation I think it’s best if there’s no booze at all - surely people can enjoy shows without getting pissed?

If anyone has any idea where we could start the hunt for such a venue in the Glasgow area email me at struggletownrecords@gmail.com

//  This is a great idea, from a great guy with a great passion for all things.

Get involved!

SO… When we were down in London the other week we caught up with those rad kids at FAKE DIY and did some last minute acoustic songs.  We decided to mix it up and try out two new songs, you can watch them above!

Share this around and learn the words, when we come see you next we want to hear you SING!

FOR !

OK.  So we do love some heavy breakdowns and dischords, you caught us.  We especially love it when it comes from THE BLED.  

We’re super pleased to announce we’ll be playing the Glasgow show on their farewell tour - It sucks it’s their farewell tour, but we’ll be there to crowdsurf like usual.  So keep February 16th free & plan to rock the heck out.

DAY 4 - PRESTON CANCELLED / LAST MINUTE ‘DEAD’ SESSION

So on Day 3 of the tour with our hombres in The Xcerts, Murray had to pull out of the show due to an illness.  We managed to get on down to Bath to still play the show and we had an amazing night.  A very sincere thank you to anyone who was there, we haven’t felt so welcome away from home like that before.  A truly awesome night.

DAY 4 was scheduled for a show in Preston.  Sadly Murray couldn’t do the show, however this time the promoter decided to cancel the whole show.  We were pretty heart broken.  We’ll be back soon though.

We took the time we had just been given to get the gear out, set up in a kitchen and bust out a stripped down version of ‘Losing All Balance in Fells Point’.  It was nice to play a chilled out version and we really enjoyed making it.  Our good good friend Mark Forrer filmed & edited all the footage last night in a few hours and we love him dearly.

Please reblog this song if you like it, maybe we’ll come to your house one day and play it your kitchen!

Wuussup team?? Just to let the Glaswegians on this thing know that tickets for our show on the 22nd of January at King Tuts are nearly gone. Incredible considering the show is 2 months away. Please pass on this message to anyone you know who has not yet bought a ticket but is intending on attending. Nice wording Murray.
