John Wean (pronounced John Wayne), are four Scottish lads who write songs about love, life and their biggest interest: Girls. Hailing from the Glasgow suburb of Uddingston, world renowned for its Tunnock’s chocolate factory, the boys have been described as “The best thing out of Uddingston since the Tunnock’s Tea Cake”.

The band have been described as the sound of the Skins / Inbetweeners generation (as well as a cross between the early Arctic Monkeys and The Proclaimers!) because they throw up all the same thoughts and feelings that these shows purvey and mirror the lives of most of today’s youth. Indie Pop with a Scottish flavour an instant appeal.

This week joining residents FUSION & SILVERTOUNGE we have OCTOPHANT……

Octophant (AKA LAZER ENEMA) creates music that draws from IDM, Jungle, Techno, ambient and a whole host of other styles. In his live show he blends electronics with live instrumentation in a manner that is reminiscent of SQUARPUSHER (IE: totally bonkers!). His debut album 4 D4 BRA!NZ N T1NG was released last year on GHOST GROOVE RECORDS and since then he has played at a number of GHOST GROOVE events as well as other Edinburgh nights like NU FIRE. If your up for some brainmelting live music this is not a show to miss.

Among our favourite pop hook-slingers, Tubelord pen “jittery noise-pop ditties brimming with a sprightly energy, neatly encapsulating early Biffy riffs with the childlike optimism of Dananananaykroyd” (Line Of Best Fit) and are most definitely best experienced LIVE.

Spaceface are the latest addition to the Edinburgh music scene. After a year of writing the band have created unique music that stands on its own. With heavy influences from post-rock and intrumental bands such as Mogwai and This Will Destroy You, the music becomes an explosive wall of sound not commonly heard in alternative indie bands.

Currently recording their debut album to be released later this year, The Jackals play quality live music with attitude & conviction that can only be translated on view. With influences drawn from 60s psychedelia to modern day mind benders

Hailing from Renfrewshire, ThousandSounds are a sonic mash up of Widescreen guitars, Dreampop, 1960′s Psychedelia, Shoegaze and British Rock n Roll.
