TURNTABLE
Wfi’s‘ ’ This gruesome trio, Gav, The Boy Wonder, The Peroxide Man and Bryan,
are the guys responsible for Teasage at The Citrus Club on Wednesdays in
Edinburgh. Primarily an indie club, Teasage, however, is not so po-faced as to exclude some lighter moments and classic blasts from the past, just check out their current live favourites for proof.
1. 8523: Hero Worship. Any 852s track would have done, but this one. from their first album, is still one of our favourites.
2. The Pixies: Here Comes My Man. A classic indie track from some of the finest purveyors of the genre.
3. ABBA: Dancing Queen. Picked by Gav for nostalgic reasons — he had his first sexual experience dancing to this in the kitchen with his Aunt Gladys last Christmas.
4. St Etienne: Only Love Can Break Your Heart. The lighter side of indie music from one of the more tuneful exponents.
5. The Rolling Stones; Get Off My Cloud. Take away the vocals and the backing track from this classic could be used by any number of current bands.
