FRIDAY 3
Glasgow
I The Thieves and Swamp Trash Glasgow College of Technology. Apologies to The Thieves. who complained about the use of the phrase ‘much-hyped' used in connection with their name. Completer inaccurate. as they point out. considering the band's current status. Our reviewer caught them on a bad night; their lyrics were audible.
I Come Ahead La Taniere. Fox Street. 221 4844. 9pm. Free.
Edinburgh
I The Mike Heron Band Venue. Calton Road. 557 3073. Former leader ofthe Incredible String Band. who were more enormously successful in their time than they're given credit for now. Mike's solo work has gathered impressive acclaim. especially Stateside.
I 0i Polloi. ADA. Generic and The Next World Calton Studios. Calton Road. 556 7066. Animal Rights benefit. for which Generic and The Next World have come from down south for. This is the kind of punk that will probably rattle the average yuppie‘s gold fillings. but Oi Polloi have still managed to become something ofan institution in Edinburgh.
I Wasted Days. Complications and
Onomatapoeia Bermuda Triangle. Coasters Complex. West Tollcross. 9.30pm-3am. £2.50.
I Swing Shitt Teviot Row Student Union. Students and guests only. Not having heard their tape or seen them live yet. 1 can only go by their admission that their style hovers around U2/Gabricl area. Very frank of them. but cover versions that range from Talking Heads to Stevie Wonder could indicate a funkier approach than apparent at first.
I Good and Bone Negociants. Lothian Street. 225 6313. 9pm. Free. Good solid bluesy stuff. Track featured on upcoming compilation ofdiffcrent bands doing Beefheart songs.
I Anaconda Music Box. Victoria Street. 220 1708. £1 after9pm. Heavy rock.

I Bazorcuts Far Out Club. Buzzsaw indie pop. Far Out Club moves around a bit. At the moment it's not know if this gigis taking place at Rooftops or Madisons. Check local press. as they say.
I Billy Forbes La Taniere. Fox Street. 221 4844. Afternoon. Free.
I Beyond The Edge La Taniere. Fox Street. 221 4844. 9pm. Free.
Edinburgh
I The Alice House. The Styng-Bites. The Indian Givers. The River Detectives and Bop Sh'Bam The Meadows. 1pm. Free. Good line-up. notable particularly for Glasgow‘s River Detectives. whose songwriting talents have been admired for sometime now. The Indian Givers. who have rejigged their band line-up recentlyand whose laid-back jazzy pop has attracted a great deal of attention. and the latest McEwans signing The Alice House. Why don't breweries just become record labels and be done with it?
I The Kinks Playhouse Theatre. Greenside Place. 557 2590. 7.30pm. £7. £6. Okay. so what if their records have mostly stunk since they took the weird decision of getting all heavy a few years back. They're still legends. and if thisisn‘t a sell-out you ought all to be very ashamed.
I Gypsy Dueen Venue. Calton Road. 557 3073. Described as an English Heart: two sisters. melodic rock. etc. . . I‘ll be atThe Kinks.

Edinburgh
I Premi Portobello Town Hall. lfyou don‘t know what Bhangra is by now. you can‘t have read much about music forthc last year. The collision of various types of Indian music (different styles from all over the continent sometimes being performed in the same song) with Western pop has grown into an enormous scene in the last few years. though few whites have shown as much interest as they have in.say. African music. Having said that. hope 1 see you there.

MONDAY 6 Edinburgh
I Crime and The City Solution Venue. Calton Road. C&CS‘s fame seemslargely attached to Mick Harvey being a former Birthday Party member and Alex hailing from Einsturzende Ncubatcn. Despite a few reasonably-selling indie records they've failed to capture the attention that one might have expected.
I The Charge Music Box. Victoria Street.
