About this event

After several years of fervent activity in Glasgow's underground music scene, Normal Service have a settled line-up, comprising erstwhile and current members of Lung Leg, Ganger, Sound of Yell, and Gag. The female rhythm section provides the backing for the interlocked guitars, saxophone bursts, and melodious flute. If you marry post-punk motorik beats with off-kilter jazz-tinged folk-rock, you will arrive at their unique blend of skronk wonk and roll. Normal Service have been likened to everything from Young Marble Giants, Fairport Convention, Captain Beefheart, The Ex, Josef K, Television and Henry Cow. They have just released their first EP ‘A Song for Swinging Lovers’ a rhapsodic folk-infused gallows tale on Raljex Records. The Seep are dedicated Acolytes of The Corduroy Plunderground performing wonky drones and melodic improvisations on loose strings and tape. Rob Churm - Vox & 3-String Guitar, Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh - Viola and Eva Gnatiuk - Drums. Recent excursions have taken them through the window at 56 Ludlow Street, between the guards in the Whitney Museum of Art, and over the iron gates of 7118 Birdview Avenue, Point Dume. Jeux d'eau is a Scottish - Belgian, Glasgow based collaboration between Simone Wilson and Loup Havenith. Together they compose music deriving from the poetics of space, cultural habitus, rhyzomic endeavours and the complexity of love. Poster by Marc Baines.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar music still playing in Glasgow this week.

This venue’s world

This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.

Traditions this room works in

Tags on the venue. Other Glasgow rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.

Also playing this week

Same kind of night (music) in Glasgow. Next dates first, not a ranking.

A different kind of night

Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
