X_Vectors We like X-Vectors, they‘re the kind of band who make bloody good music, don’t take themselves too seriously. and wouldn’t show you up (too much) if you didn't really know the difference between DFA and BCGs. Here, they are the musical turn at Optimo as part of Triptych on the Saturday then a straight show (well, as straight as their gigs get) in Glasgow on the Sunday. Such is their cunning blend of beats, grinds, riffs, bleeps and shouts that they are as at home in the throng of a dancefloor as they are at a rock show.
