I Baby's Got A Gun and Mainline Bedrock Club. Venue, Calton Road. 557 3073. Having parted company with their old management. Baby‘s Got A Gun attempt to sustain the momentum oftheir recently-released debut LP. Peroxide-topped hard-rockin‘ all the way. I Planet Pop and Static Basin Street. Holyrood Road. 337 1006. Zesty old Planet Pop should be seen at least once. Meanwhile. Static's demo came as something of a revelation: swaying. bewitching songs. topped with an effects-laden guitar sound that would have The Cocteau Twins running for the hills. Where are 4AD when you need them?

SUNDAY 12 Glasgow
I Clannad Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Sauehiehall Street. 332 3123. 6.30pm. £10. £9. Wistfully haunting and irritatingly self-righteous by turns. Clannad's songs (or should that be compositions?) are highly evocative of their background. See those hills. feel that breeze. smell that air . . . sorry, got carried away there.

I The Dylans and White Out Venue. Calton Road. 557 3073. ‘Godlike‘ was a fine. though unremarkable. indie single. blending influences from all corners. which received extensive airplay. but whether it actually succeeded in jerking the nation's consciousness will be revealed now that they‘re touring. Greenock‘s White Out are undoubtedly an attractive proposition. combining contemporary indie dance undercurrents with mod and psychedelia influences.
I The Tex Fillet Five Negociants. Lothian
Street. 225 6313. 9.30pm. Free. Tongue in
cheek country.
WEDNESDAY 15 - .
Glasgow
I Spiritualized King Tut‘s Wah Wah Hut. St Vincent Street. 221 5279. 9pm. £4.50. With the demise of Spacemcn 3. it looks like Spiritualized — the band who charged the phrase ‘playing live‘ with irony — are getting a bit serious in career terms. But will Jason Pierce stay awake long enough to execute a perfectly-honed set of fragile. semi-soporific. psychedelic meanderings, or will some sicko kick away the stool he always uses on stage?
I George Ross Watt and Big George And The
Business Rooftops. Sauehiehall Street. 332 5883. 9.30pm. £3. The billing forthis one is a way ofeasing us in gently tothe idea that George Ross Watt is how we should now refer to the venerable old Big
