FRIDAY 11 Glasgow
I Run Big Barrowland. 244 Gallowgate. 5524601. 7.30pm. 1 think 1 am the only person in Scotland who sees nothing worth talking about in Run Rig. Their new album is out this week: no doubt it will sound like the other ones. and no doubt the pe0p1e who like them will love it to death. One thing has to be said for them- they were doing this kind of thing long before Stuart Adamson got his hands on it and took it into the charts.
I River Detectives The Drawing Room. Clyde Street. 9pm. A new venue — formerly the dreaded Maxwell Plums- makes a promising start to its live music programme with the rather wonderful River Detectives— the first of many chances you have to see them over the festive period. You have no excuse.
I The Alice House/Origin Sins Rooftops. Sauchiehall Street. 332 5883. 10.30pm. Good to see Rooftops giving the chance to some local bands on a Friday — it will be interesting to see if they meet with approval from the regular crowd.
I Big George and The Business Shadows. Bath Street. 332 8111. 9pm. Free. The legendary Big George starts his pro-Christmas pub crawl. which is fairly extensive. as these listings reveal.
I We Free Kings/ills Latest Flame Glasgow College of Technology. Cowcadde ns Road. 9pm. Students and guests. Reassuring to know that His Lates Flame still exist — I liked the two Go! Discs singles. but there doesn't seem to have been much activity since.
Edinburgh
I Alison Moyet Playhouse Theatre. Greenside Place. 557 2590. 7.30pm. £9. £8. Just who talked her into making that Saturday Superstore-style video. that‘s what i want to know? Many more moves like that may be good for theTV companies. but a headache for her fans— especially those who are fed up with ropey cover versions.
I The Jazz Deteirtors and Koolwhip. Venue, Calton Road. 557 3073. 7.30pm. Starting off as a group of four jazz dancers in Manchester. the Defektors now sing as well. and boast a six-piece backing band. Whether their A bsolure Beginners appearance helped or not. though it‘s doubtful. their LP is now Big in Japan. reaching the Top Ten. In case anyone was wondering ‘Whatever happened to Same Animals?‘ Koolwhip are they.
I Ranacanteen The Pleasance. 9pm. £3 (UB40£1.50). Benefit gig. with disco until 1am. Poppy stuff.
I Yes Yes Juliette Student Union. Teviot Row. Free. Students and guests only. Six-piece. originally from Ayrshire. claiming Magazine and Blondie as early influences. Can‘t be bad.
