union. What gets her back up these days? '4
Support from a shining light on the folk crossover scene whose album Red Rice was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.
I The Longpigs and Dark Star The Garage, Sauchiehall Street, 332 1120. 7pm. £8 plus booking fee. No age restriction. The ’Pigs are back, wailing away tunelessly about something or other. Get along early to see Dark Star, a mercurial trio who formed the backbone of the late, lamented Levitation.
I Atari Teenage Riot and Lolita Storm King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, St Vincent Street, 221 5279. 8.30pm. £6.50 plus booking fee. As radical and appealing in attitude as the Manic Street Preachers were in their early days, Atari Teenage Riot are an in-yer-face electro punk experience curated by subversive German (surely an oxymoron) Alec Empire. Like Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Take That before them, Lolita Storm named themselves after a newspaper headline.
I The Hellfire Club and Cartel The Bedsit, Park Drive. 8pm. £6 (£3). Pay on the door or tickets in advance from STUC, 337 8100, Kenny Hannah at Caledonian University, 332 0681 and Fire Brigades Union, 221 2309 for this Chhokar Family Justice Campaign benefit. Neville Lawrence (father of Steven) has given his support to this campaign surrounding a racially- motivated murder which has many similarities to his son’s case. He will be one of tonight’s speakers and there is live music and DJs.
I The Insects and The Underground Apes The 13th Note Cafe, King Street, 553 1638. 9pm. £2. A Psych Out evening of psychedelic, garage sounds. The headliners hail from Leeds and have a single out on the Austin Powers-tastic Dig The Fuzz Records.
