Their collages capture moments of everyday life and dreams, telling stories of apathy, loneliness, internal monologue, love, and friendship.
Their sophomore album, ‘Big city life’ (Escho) is a Joycean night trip fizzing with slinky postmodern pop and potent reflections of cosmopolitan womanhood, thriving on contradictions, balancing camp spectacle and coarse truths.

The band split up late in 1981, perhaps due to the pressures of not achieving breakthrough success despite such critical acclaim, but reformed with all original members. After releasing new music digitally in 2020 and 2023, the band is back with a brand new album to be released in November 2025.

The Zebecks are carrying the Scottish Indie torch for the next generation. Originally from Elgin, the band uprooted their small-town lives to pursue a shared musical dream in Glasgow. Since then, they’ve cemented themselves as an unmissable live act, sharing stages with the likes of Glasvegas, Been Stellar, and Declan Welsh and The Decadent West.
2024 saw three singles, a King Tut’s headline, a sold-out hometown show, and a BBC Introducing Stage performance at Tenement Trail, where they brought the festival’s headliner Declan Welsh onstage to perform their collaborative single ‘Life Advice’. This year brings an exciting new chapter for the band with BBC Radio Scotland naming them in their “25 Scottish Artists to Watch in 2025” and new music set for release in the spring.
In-your-face and with no plans to move – Fog Bandits are a four piece igniting Glasgow with uniquely electric tracks and non-stop energy. Imagine if Queens of the Stone Age and My Chemical Romance went on a night out and somehow wound up in Glasgow. This band would form that exact musical concoction. It’s like an arena sized sound condensed into some of the UK’s most rowdy small venues.
This is a band who have really started to grow in the last year, supporting acts such as L.S Dunes and VUKOVI, whilst selling out headline shows in venues like King Tuts to rapturous praise, and highlighting festivals like Scotland’s Tenement Trail.
They are the kind of smaller artist that dreams big, and isn’t shy on bringing that sound to packed out dive bars and dingey venues over the country. A sound that pulls you in, knocks you back, smothers you in awe and refuses to let go. It feels as at home on bigger stages as it does in Glasgow’s many small rooms.
Long Island, NY singer-songwriter Laura Stevenson brings her slow-mo folk rock and alt-country here this December following the release of her stunning sixth album ‘Late Great’.
In the four years since her self-titled album was released, Laura’s entire life has been upended by pandemic-era motherhood, a painful split, and navigating new loves.
Her new album is about letting go, taking charge, and learning to rebuild from the deepest layers of your being: “It’s a document of loss for sure, but it also kind of draws the map of this exciting precipice that I’m standing on. I am making my own life now. With the record, with everything, this is the first time I get to call all the shots.”
Jennifer Walton is a London-based producer, composer, and musician whose work sits at the intersection of experimental club music, emotional electronics, and avant-pop. Her sound blends industrial textures, distorted rhythms, and moments of striking vulnerability — creating music that feels both confrontational and deeply human.
After emerging from the UK underground scene, Walton has become known for her boundary-pushing live sets and distinctive production style, balancing chaos with clarity. She has collaborated with artists such as Kero Kero Bonito, Cryalot, and Metronomy, while also contributing remixes and mixes for platforms like Dazed and NTS Radio.
Her 2025 debut album Daughters (Local Action) marks a defining moment in her evolution as an artist. Written during a period of upheaval and personal loss, it transforms grief and dislocation into something transcendent — a collage of pulsating beats, cathartic noise, and glimmering melody. The result is an album that feels as physical as it is emotional, exploring what it means to hold onto tenderness in a fractured world.
With Daughters, Jennifer Walton has established herself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary electronic music — fearless, inventive, and unafraid to confront beauty and brutality in equal measure.
Megan Black is an award-winning artist from Scotland creating music that combines the nostalgia of ’60’S/’70’s rock with the modern sound of queer, feminist pop.

We are very sorry to announce that our Edinburgh and Newcastle shows will have to be postponed until later in the year. We were hoping for Ollie to make a full recovery from surgery by this weekend but he is back in hospital with complications. He should be home in a day or two, but we need to clear the decks for him to recover fully before he can be signed off for playing shows. Thanks in advance for your understanding. Xx
Miki Berenyi began her career as a recording artist in 1989, as co-founder of the band Lush, releasing a series of EPs (Scar, Mad Love and Black Spring compiled as Gala) and LPs (Spooky, Split and Lovelife) on the iconic 4AD label. The band toured extensively, many times in the US — with Ride, Babes in Toyland, Jane’s Addiction, Flaming Lips, Weezer and, most notably, as openers on the 1992 Lollapalooza tour.
split in 1996, and Miki retired from music, but a 2015-16 reunion tour, which included a Coachella date and release of an EP Blond Spot, revived her enthusiasm and she formed Piroshka, who released two albums on Bella Union: Brickbat (2019) and Love Drips and Gathers (2021).
When the global pandemic made touring impossible, Miki spent the lockdown months writing her memoir, Fingers Crossed, released in 2022 to widespread acclaim. To provide some musical accompaniment for the string of book events and signings, Miki Berenyi Trio was formed, with her partner Kevin ‘Moose’ McKillop on guitar and Oliver Cherer on bass (both had played in Piroshka).
The band has developed a momentum of its own and they are now writing new songs, inserted into the set of and Piroshka tracks as they continue to fulfil live bookings, with a plan to record and release an album in 2025.

Natalie Wildgoose
at Leith Depot
for fans of… Julia Holter, Laura Marling, Molly Drake, Phoebe Bridgers
Tickets
Natalie Wildgoose is a North Yorkshire– and London-based singer-songwriter whose music carves out space for stillness, memory, and the natural world. Raised among moors and mist-shrouded landscapes, she writes and records songs on vintage pianos scattered across the Yorkshire Dales, using her grandfather’s reel-to-reel tape recorder to capture the ambience and crackle of place.
Her latest EP Come Into The Garden (2025) unfolds like a collection of ghost-songs: minimal piano, tender vocals, and subtle traces of analogue tape hiss. Wildgoose’s music occupies a haunting territory between folk, alt-country, and art-song — think trembling melodies, spare arrangements, and an almost archival intimacy. Her voice and approach have been likened to the spectral folk tradition of Molly Drake and Sibylle Baier.
Emerging from poetry and place, Natalie’s songs draw on themes of nature, longing, and the rhythms of rural life, inviting listeners into quiet rooms, old halls, and the hush of moorland nights. As she hones her craft, she stands out as a captivating new voice in the UK folk and alt-folk scene — unafraid to lean into fragility and stillness, transforming memory and landscape into deeply felt music.

Fronted by the charismatic Leona Farrugia, ?ENN create music that’s both politically charged and deeply personal, built on hypnotic basslines, angular guitars, and infectious grooves.

Alex Spencer is an 18-year-old artist known for his sharp songwriting, magnetic energy, and vibrant stage presence. After an apprenticeship busking in his native Manchester, he’s since gained support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, Radio X, CLASH Magazine, and featured globally on the EA SPORTS FC25 soundtrack with his single Nightmares.
His latest and third, independent EP – ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ explores the urgency of youth, blending personal and cultural influences from many travel adventures and the occasional lyrical use of Spanish as a nod to his second language to also explore wider themes. The release has earned praise from tastemakers including John Kennedy at Radio X, and Jodie Bryant and Mollie King at Radio 1.
On stage with his band, Alex brings to life his own powerful and charismatic brand of indie-pop. He has been billed on major festivals like TRNSMT and Sound City throughout the year, and has supported artists such as The Black Keys, Miles Kane, Jamie Webster, The K’s and Seb Lowe.

Immersive, unpredictable, and alive with raw energy, Plantoid offer a live experience that is both transportive and cathartic, appealing to fans of adventurous, boundary-pushing rock.
Belfast art-rock band Junk Drawer are equal parts Pavement, Oh Sees, Frank Zappa and their own special sauce. An incredible live band, they have won multiple Northern Ireland Music Prizes including Best Live Act.
Shelf Lives is an Electro-Bass Punk band which is definitely not a real genre.
They make catchy, energetic tunes that bring the abrasiveness and physicality of punk back to a small, cramped house party setting. It’s music so rowdy you can practically feel the sweat on the ceiling and the sound of crushed cans under your feet.
After a few years of creating, releasing and caring-ish what everyone thinks, they now don’t (at all) but are obsessed with experimenting and embracing authentically whatever they feel. The objective is clear and the boundaries intentional; the point is to get every listener to feel something whether it’s bad or good, whether they want to or not.

Madra Salach are a five piece folk band from Dublin. Originally meeting whilst playing in various outfits on the city’s indie scene, their shared love of the Irish traditional canon led to Paul Banks, Adam Cullen, Jack Martin and Dara Duffy quickly forming a bond playing impromptu sessions in pubs around the Northside. Taking inspiration from the growing experimental folk scene in Ireland, Madra Salach began focusing on original writing and composition, utilising electronic equipment. At this time Maxime Arnold joined their ranks to play the harmonium. These songs, while strikingly modern thematically, are written with a voice that could have emerged at any point throughout the last century, and sit proudly alongside a thoughtfully curated collection of folk standards.
Bibi Club are a Montreal-based duo made up of Adèle Trottier-Rivard and Nicolas Basque. Blending shimmering synths, hypnotic rhythms, and bilingual vocals, their music drifts between dream-pop, post-punk, and indie electronica.

Their debut album Le soleil et la mer introduced their warm, nostalgic sound — a world of subtle grooves, soft light, and emotional depth. Both meditative and danceable, Bibi Club’s music feels timeless and deeply human, connecting listeners through rhythm, memory, and melody.
