Syndicate rappers.
I learn Volcano. Benalder Street. 337 1100. 11pm. £5. An appearance by the world's fastest rapper — it’s official! It must be. it's in the Guiness Book Of Records. JC001 has collaborated with rock beasts such as Curve in the past. so he's got that crossover appeal too. performing what he calls ‘method rap’. I The llocturnals and Joyful Nice’n‘Sleazy. Sauchiehall Street. 333 9637. 10pm. A mix of styles from The Nocturnals. covering a good deal of the indie pop spectrum.

I Live Music McCool's Ruling Cowboy. Candleriggs. 552 7847. 9pm. Free.
Edinburgh
I Leathertace and China Bull Venue. Calton Road. 557 3073. Loud and grungey bunch who lighten the proceedings by covering ‘Message In A Bottle' and wearing Sunderland shirts on stage.
I Love Decree Rutland No l. Rutland Street. 10pm. Yes. they're still around. the band that brought us the exemplary pop single ‘Something So Real‘ — known to all the world now as ‘The Chinheads Song' thanks to the lager ad it appeared in.
I Sideshow Negociants. Lothian Street. 225 6313. 10pm. Free.
I Bluetinger L'Attache. Rutland Street. 10pm. Free. Rock’n‘roll.

From hopeful origins along with other glam queens like Faster Pussycat (and even Guns N' Roses at their outset). Poison have descended the slippery slope into ultra snoozeworthy soft metal with hearts bleeding all over the shop. Guns N' Roses do that better too.
I Urban Species and Bryan Powell Tunnel. Mitchell Street. 204 1000. 9pm. £6. A Talkin' Loud night featuring sets from the rap fusion outfit Urban Species and the R&B soulman Bryan Powell and guest DJ Talkin‘ Loud guru Gilles Peterson. See Clubs listings.
I Subconscious, Baby Chaos and The Turning Venue. Calton Road. 557 3073. £3. See Wed 14 for Subconscious. Rather than exclusively mining the barrel of hard-rock cliches. Baby Chaos have a wider frame of reference than their opening chords might lead you to believe. Worth seeing. The Turning are a guitar/vocals and bass duo with drum
machine. Embryonic. but not without potential.
I Lah-Dee-oah La Belle Angele. Hasties Close (behind The Pelican). Cowgate. 225 2774. 9pm. Free. Jazzy grooves.
I The Bootsie Tootsie Blues Band Preservation Hall. Victoria Street. 226 3816. 10pm. Free.
