14 Around Town Snowsports at SECC Super Mercado Take One Action
7 – 21 OCTOBER YOU’VE GOT 15 DAYS TO LIVE! This last fortnight we took the nice boys from Errors out to The Arches and wrapped them up in electrical cabling. Not, as you might think, to bolster the content of our new magazine S&M Electronica Bands but to get them into the spirit ahead of our 25th birthday event, which they’ll be headlining. The List is more used to writing about other people’s impressive event line-ups rather than our own, so it’s with some pleasure and a modicum of pride that I can point you towards our party preview on pages 12 and 13, where you can read about just some of the acts who’ll be performing for us at The Arches on Fri 22 Oct. You see, not just a listings mag . . .
Editor Cover Story
Errors The indie-electro foursome are having a pretty good time of it at the moment: a critically acclaimed album, a nationwide tour with The Twilight Sad, and – most importantly of all – a headline slot at The List’s 25 Years birthday event at The Arches, Fri 22 Oct. We chat to them about the story so far, and what to expected in the future, on page 12.
