FRIDAY 3 Glasgow
0 Alien Sex Fiend Rooftops. 92 Sauchiehall Street. 332 5883. 10.30pm. £3. Promoting a new single ‘Hurricane Fighter Plane’. Die-hard fans only.
0 Tredegar Shadows, Bath Street. 332 8111. 9pm. Free. Welsh rock band. from a town of the same name. Released their own single last year. which they distributed throughout Britain themselves. True indie Spirit!
0 Fruit: 01 Passion/Kick Reaction/Wild Angels and others QMU, University Gardens. 9pm. AIDS Benefit. featuring three worthy bands. Fruits Of Passion have always been more convincing live than on record. while early evidence suggests that the Wild Angels may be the other way about — but now is a good time to find out. Kick Reaction have only recently started gigging locally again after a long absence.
0 The Straight Men Riverside Tavern, Waddell Court. Gorbals. 429 3891. 9pm. Free. Residency by popular pub rockers.
Edinburgh
0 The Creepers, Rote Kapelle and The Dog—Faced Hermans Headful of Steam Club. Calton Studios, Calton Road. 556 7066. 9pm. £2.50. One of the better class of indie groups. The Creepers are led by the infamous Marc Riley. who left The Fall taking the more acidic barbs of black humour with him. Well worth
catching. Support Rote Kapelle hail
from the Balerno area and released a
single on Riley’s Intape label, which deserved to do a lot better than it did. Best approached with no preconceptions. The Hermans. also local. have just brought out a raw and uncompromising EP but are better seen live.
0 The Crows The Venue. Calton
Road. 557 3073. 9pm. With a rockin‘
modern sound that’s half Psychedelic Furs and half early 705. The Crows look poised to conquer America before the end of the decade. Catch them ifyou can. but try not to wince at the outfits.
