FRIDAY 2 Glasgow
I The Sundays and Galaxie 500 Queen Margaret Union. University Gardens. 339 9784. Touring to support the very fab debut LP. Reading. Writing and Arithmetic. The Sundays have been described as a sort ()meiths meets Cocteau Twins. Hyped by the inkies this
. time last year on the basis ofone fine single. ‘Can‘t Be Sure'. they embarassingly disappeared for a year. But they’re alive and this is one hype that should be believed. Students and guests.
Edinburgh
I Diesel Park West and Energy Orchard Venue. Calton Road. 557 3073. Currently being set up as one of the big bands ofthe 90$. Diesel Park West may have the taint of hype hovering around them. but their vaguely Paisley-tinged debut Shakespeare Alabama showed they can back it up a lot more than Energy Orchard. whose current 45 for MCA sounds little more than the band playing along to ‘1 Still Haven't Found What l‘m Looking For'. inserting giveaway Edge-like guitar.
