Alex G has announced a new show at Glasgow&#39;s legendary Barrowland Ballroom later this year. Pennsylvania&#39;s preeminent master of melodic nostalgia and indie rock experimentation Alex Giannascoli and his long-serving band of brothers return to the city on Mon 17 Nov for their biggest Scottish live show to date, swiftly following the announcement of long-awaited new album Headlights, due for release on 18 July. <a href="undefined">In the meantime, Alex has previewed the first track from his new album</a>, entitled Afterlife. Aided by an irresistible mandolin-heavy hook, the song plays to the melodic strengths of previous records God Save The Animals, House of Sugar and in particular, 2017&#39;s Rocket, yet hints at new narrative direction and perhaps the most dextrous and most refined production to date. It&#39;s a bittersweet little banger which more than justifies the excited anticipation of this new record, perfectly-placed to come out right in the heart of summer.Pre-sale for the Barrowlands show starts on Thu 19 June @ 10amSign up <a href="undefined">HERE</a><a href="undefined"></a><a href="undefined">Check out the video for new single &#39;Afterlife&#39; below: </a><div class="video-container">

Imagine if Ray Manzarek was the frontman of the Bee Gees…. It’s a beautiful visual introduction to Joel Sarakula, a UK-based Australian artist who writes, produces and sings retro-flavoured Soft-Rock, gazing out at a contemporary world through vintage glasses, vintage clothing and long blond hair. His music is inspired by a rich palette from the 1970s, with influences from soft rock, funk and disco: sunny, uptempo jams for darker times. He has toured extensively in the EU and US over the years including performances in major international festivals SXSW, Primavera Sound, Glastonbury and Baltic Soul Weekender.Joel Sarakula’s new album, “Soft Focus” is a mid-career album that spans his many influences and genres, all brought under the umbrella of his gentle gaze and a “soft” aesthetic. Highlights include one of the two Shawn Lee-produced tracks “I’ll Get By Without You” and “Telephone Calls,” and the more rocking, iberic beat of “King Of Spain.” This is an album made with love, polish and may be his defining statement in soulful soft-rock. There are comparisons to contemporary projects like Shawn Lee’s Young Gun Silver Fox, Drugdealer, Benny Sings and Prep, as well as echoes of soft-rock icons Ned Doheny, Boz Scaggs and Michael Franks gently rippling through the album.

Formed in Chicago by partners Josh Condon and Eliza Weber, Glyders make maximal minimal rock &amp; roll with nocturnal mystery pulsing in the mix, cutting above rigorous roadhouse fare with sounds that twist and grind on their classic inspirations. Glyders’ high lonesome way is mellow but nervy, hip-shaking and deep – a multicolored trip to the ongoing beat of American weirdness. Their second LP, “Forever,” is out now on Drag City.

The Hug and Pint

BY SPECIAL DECREE: On the twenty-seventh day of June, a grand Tourney will be held at the Hug n Pint to find worthy champions and bring joy to the people. There will be scrumptious period inspired food and ale, jousting and other tournaments, and live music across the day to celebrate this auspicious event. Citizens attending are asked to wear their finest fantastical medieval costumes to enliven the festivities. BUT BE WARNED. The Great Prawn Wizard has returned. His mind has been driven to insanity by dark and strange magick, and there are fears that he is preparing to use his powers for great mischief. With our merriment, we will draw the wizard out of hiding and our champions will vanquish the maddening evil from him. Then we will party with him until curfew.
