ROCK
FRIDAY 29 Glasgow
I The McClusltey Brothers Glasgow School of Art, 167 Renfrew Street, 3320681. 9pm. Their first full band gig since Mayfest, and one which should help them towards their long deserved record deal.
Edinburgh
I Baby's Got a Gun Venue, Calton Road, 557 3073. Rebel-rousing rockers interviewed in our last issue — and a band that has already gone through the experience of supporting Bowie (at Livingston), and carried it offwith dynamic aplomb.
I The Two Saints and The American Ruse Basin Street, Haymarket Terrace, 337 1006. 8pm—midnight. Being from London, The American Ruse aren’t actually American, but The Two Saints are. Friday nights here are a good place to check out indie and aspiring indie bands.
I Swing Shitt Negociants, Lothian Street, 225 6313. 9.45pm. Free. Accessible-sounding Eighties rock, with a new demo and a rash of gigs coming soon. Look out for a new name for the band as well.
I The Barrelhouse Shellis Preservation Hall, Victoria Street, 226 3816. £1 after
9pm.
I Fiaere Nilssen Trader Vic’s, Victoria Street, 225 6569. Residency. Swedish-American singer, playing loads of gigs around town, with a good line in American folk music.
I The Rootsies Duo Globe, West Port, 229 4341. 10pm. Free. Residency. JimCondie on guitar and Ron Tait on vocals and harmonica run through blues, R&B and gospel. Millions of chances to see them this fortnight.

Renfield Street, 332 1846. 7.30pm. £8.50,£7.50,£6.50. Do people honestly pay this sort of money to see pensioners going through the motions?
I Double Trouble Brag at the Cotton Club, 7 Scott Street. 332 0712. 10.30pm. Not a reference to Brag DJ 5 Dave Ross and George Bowie — but the name of an act who are currently enjoying not a little club and chart success.
I Nuclear Assault, Dark Angel and DAM The Mayfair, 490 Sauchiehall Street, 332 3872. 9pm. £6. More heavy metal bands with names that have militaristic and satanic overtones. What a surprise.
Edinburgh
I Dr Hooli Playhouse Theatre, Greenside Place, 557 2590. 7.30pm. £8.50, £7.50. They were good back in the early days, I’ve often been reminded. when they performed almost exclusively the songs of Playboy cartoonist Shel Silverstein. and got on the cover of Rolling Stone by singing about it. Those who can only remember ‘When You’re in Love with a Beautiful Woman‘, take note, and bearin mind that Ray Sawyer (the guy with the eyepatch) is now the only original member.
I Flick ot the Switch Preservation Hall, Victoria Street, 226 3816. £1 after 9pm. Blues band from London.
I The Rootsies Duo Sessions, (the old Cavern) The Cowgate, 226 5641. 4pm. Free. See Fri 29.

MONDAY 2 Glasgow
I The Ramones and The Almighty Barrowland, 244 Gallowgate, 552 4601. 7.30pm.

Edinburgh
I Elephant Noise Oblomov‘s, North Bank Street, The Mound. 220 0054. Local band, worth checking out, especially after their strong new demo.
