Cynics Anonymous

I go to as many gigs as is financially possible and thought it would be sensible to keep a journal of gigs I go to, cds I buy, new and old bands I come across and anything else I fancy going on about.

Glasgow - Indie Capital of the UK?

I've come to the conclusion that Glasgow is a fucking magic place to live if your a music fan. A few reason for this conclusion are...

1. The indie scene is thriving with loads of new bands coming through (eg Kain, Sluts of Trust).
2. Superb venues - King Tuts, Barfly, Stereo, 13th Note, Barrowlands.
3. Excellent crowds, passionate, loud, appreciative and many.
4. Look at the gig listings in the NME. The majority will have a date in Glasgow. All the greats come here and a favourite with loads of top bands.
5. Top clubs that play more than Kylie and Busted - The Garage, Barfly, Fury Murays for starters!

Top place but I think we forget it.
