Despite challenges from an ever~more-mainstream Manics. The Quireboys are still probably the best example of successful commercial rock with a glammy, disposable orientation.
I The Average White Band Cathouse. Brown Street. 248 6606. 9pm. £7. The legendary Scots funksters get back to their roots on a tour of club dates —spurred, apparently, by hearing that their classic ‘Pick Up The Pieces‘ has become a much-played record on the club scene. But will their years in LA have blandcd them out too much for the new audience they want to attract? Only one way to find out. I llama Mesto The Dunny. Bogle Stone. Glassford Street. 553 1638. 10pm. Free. Smooth jazz-funk.

I The Basement Bertie‘s. Merchant Street, 225 2002. 11pm. Free. Solid but atmospheric Glasgow band formed in
l
1989, who have spent all but the last few months in and out ofthe studio polishing their sound. Highly melodic and country-tinged in places. but the emotive. often raw-throated singer Derek Lang is firmly in the rock tradition.
I Maya's Voice Negociants. Lothian Street. 225 6313. 10pm. Free. Cooland intriguing. compared with The Blue Nile. I Baby Doc Smugglers. Cowgatc. 557 3768. 10.15pm. Free. Acoustic rock.

Glasgow
I Happy Mondays and Stereo MCs Barrowland. Gallowgate. 552 4601. 7.30pm. £10 plus booking fee. Tickets from Just The Ticket. Virgin. Union Street. 226 4679. Is their public image washed up irreparably? And should this have any bearing as long as they‘re still making great twisted blues funk records? Unfortunately. if ‘Stinkin‘ Thinkin" is an effective taster for Yes Please then they're
patently not still making terrific records. It
will however be a treat to see them return to a venue of this size.
I The Piemen RGs. Queen Street. 221 2200. 10pm. Free. A bit of an exclusive here. as The Piemen feature two ex-mcmbers of a highly successful Glasgow band.

will be admitted. Guest DJsinclude Twitch and Brainstorm from Edinburgh
and Terry and Jason. The Shamen’s last show at this venue did an extra-special transformer job on the ballroom and effortlessly sustained a positive atmosphere throughout the night. with The Shamen themselves proving that making dance music and playing well live aren’t mutually exclusive.
I The Christians and Jerry Bums Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Sauchiehall Street. 7.30pm. £12.50. £10. Tickets from the Ticket Centre. Candleriggs. 227 551 l . The public have short memories. The public decided they‘d had enough ofThe Christians a while back. This is not a favourable combination. Coupled with the major bland-out going on in The Christians‘ camp. things are not looking up. Jerry Burns keeps the mood placid. I Pulp and Shriek King Tut‘s Wah Wah Hut. St Vincent Street. 221 5279. £3.50. Long-standing cult band from Sheffield. who have overcome those obvious handicaps to make sequin-covered. kinky bubblegum spacepOp which thrills even without the swagger of consummate frontman Jarvis Cocker.

I Avalon and Eats The Seats Queen’s Hall. South Clerk Street. 668 2019. 7.30pm. £4.50 (£3.50). After keepingthe Caledonian end up at various European festivals, Avalon have just released their third LP, Higher Ground, on Iona Records. With lots ofelemental. very Scottish folk-rock songs redolent of mountains and mist. interspersed with a few electric reels. it should sell by the skipful.
I Verve Music Box. Victoria Street, 225 2564. 7pm. A quartet with a lot offactors working against them — they‘re vague and at times insubstantial. they’re from Wigan, they’re fronted by a clown who thinks he’s Icarus - but whose unearthly stratospherics make compulsive listening. Apparently they’re in their element ‘live'. as opposed to ‘in a floatation tank‘.
I Papa’s Magic Beard Cavendish, West Tollcross. 228 3252. Increasingly popular local acid funk band. Miss them not.
