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.

June 15 - Kain @ King Tuts

Met a few mates last night in King Tuts for the NEMIS showcase and what a good night!

NEMIS (or New Music In Scotland) is a network for people in the music industry in Scotland. Artists, promoters, managers, venues, studios, and other musical professionals are brought together to take the industry in Scotland forward. Check out their website at www.nemis.org.

There were 4 bands on the bill but due to bad planning and the pints going down well, we sat in the bar too long and missed the first three! I was a bit disappointed as I wanted to see The Owsley Sunshine who have been creating a buzz in the Glasgow indie scene but the main reason we were there was to see Kain.

I hadn't heard alot of Kain, apart from a few session tracks on the internet but what a performance. They have a great sound and an extremely charismatic frontman and I'm positive will go a long way. Can't wait for the cd releases!

Peace
