Cover story: Save our indie shops! We don't know if you've heard, but there's a recession on, and small independent traders are typically the first and worst hit. Channeling the spirit of the Blitz, the community-minded souls at The List have put together an ll-page guide celebrating the diverse and utterly unique range of independent, locally-run shops in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Use 'em or lose ‘em, folks.
Features 12 Hinterland
Sons and Daughters, Drums of Death, The Fall, Jeffrey Lewis, Metronomy. Simian Mobile Disco, Micachu and the Shapes, Fangs and over 100 other acts? All in one weekend? All on the same bi/f? Well, sort of. David Pollock
gets a backstage pass for an exciting, innovative and
fantastically-programmed new city- centric music festival hoping to fill the void created in our lives when
Triptych shut up shop.
