The unifying theme of this gig was always going to be volume – as in, lots of it. But Edinburgh band Dupec (****) refuse to be blown off the stage by their raucous American successors tonight. The trio pour their all into this their most high profile show to date, crashing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lotsofrandomwords.wordpress.com&blog=1281941&post=319&subd=lotsofrandomwords&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

In a music business where female artists are so often forced into pigeonholes – Duffy the doe-eyed kitten, Lily Allen the feisty brat, Kate Nash the kooky every-girl – it’s only the true individuals who stand out over time. The talent of non-conformists like Kate Bush, Bjork and PJ Harvey burns far [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lotsofrandomwords.wordpress.com&blog=1281941&post=315&subd=lotsofrandomwords&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The current Scottish music scene is healthily diverse, and now Sparrow and the Workshop bring another genre to the mix: country and western. Having only formed last year, the Scottish-Welsh-American trio’s debut EP opens with a brooding vocal harmony between singer Jill O’Sullivan (formerly known as Dead Sparrow) and drummer Gregor [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lotsofrandomwords.wordpress.com&blog=1281941&post=313&subd=lotsofrandomwords&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Evidently tiring of the black-fringed cartoon band they had become in the wake of the B-movie pastiche of Strange House, The Horrors shift focus to the music with album number two – even if the title Primary Colours is irony of the highest order. And they don’t hang about: the 90-second [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lotsofrandomwords.wordpress.com&blog=1281941&post=308&subd=lotsofrandomwords&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Lewis Cook has a level-headedness that belies his youth. When most teenagers fly the family nest for the boundless freedom of university life, their first year away from home is spent drinking, watching daytime TV, attending the occasional lecture, boiling pasta, and more drinking. But the 18-year-old Cook – whose own nest-exit [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lotsofrandomwords.wordpress.com&blog=1281941&post=304&subd=lotsofrandomwords&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Since it closed down around five years ago, the old Odeon cinema on Clerk Street, Edinburgh has been subject to various rumours of regeneration and redevelopment, some good, some bad. But the latest plan is to gut the interior, demolish the historic auditorium and create yet another &#8217;boutique hotel&#8217; on the site.
