Rosyth
I Zu Zu Petals and Blue On Shock Palias. Rosyth. 0383 852268. Quite a coincidence. but we should stress that they bear no relation to the American group ofthe same name. who don‘t even arrive in this country until 6 Dec. After playing the ‘Fife Rock Live Sessions‘ in mid-November.

Union. University Gardens. 339 9784. 8pm. £6 plus booking fee. Tickets from Just The Ticket. Virgin. Union Street. 226 4679. The great thing about a Curve song

Curve song. The bad thing about aCurve song is that there is only one. Doesthat make them distinctive or repetitive? Whatever. the combination ofwailing Banshee guitars. sturdy danceable

India. the Far East and the USA who flocked to see The Bootleg Beatles.
