The Telescopes/St Deluxe/Glasgow15th Aug/Edingburgh 17thAug

Post by stdeluxe »

Hope this might interest a few folk on here!

The Telescopes
St Deluxe
Dj Set Joe Foster


Stephen Lawrie of the Telescopes enlists the help of St Deluxe once again to create another fantastic night of “stunning, a cataclysm of noise” - The Scotsman once again following their joint performance in April of this year.
Both the Glasgow (Sat 15thAug @ The Captains Rest) and Edinburgh (Monday 17thAug @ Sneaky Pete's)performances will be based on the “Taste” era cuts and will take off where the last gig ended, in hysteria and a crowd thirsty for more of the same.
Recent re-releases of the Telescopes back catalogue have delighted old fans, and captured a fresh audience since the second wave of "nu-gaze" bands and the return to the fold of such bands as My Bloody Valentine, Spectrum etc. The NME even acknowledges “the genus of the Telescopes”.
Together with St Deluxe backing Stephen for a full electric set there should be more than just a reprise of the “truly stunning two-song encore with Glasgow’s St Deluxe acting as backing band”. -The List
This is a very special performance which should not be missed especially if the last one is anything to go by.

ST DELUXE
Tim Burgess of the Charlatans
“I have played New Wave Stars on repeat constantly, great lyrics great sound kinda mixes up Bleach era Nirvana, Tom Verlaine and Bandwagonesque period Teenage Fanclub...Pushes all the buttons, MONOCHROME ROCK N ROLL!!”
Tim Burgess is the most recent name that St Deluxe can include as a genuine fan! Along with Alan McGee, Joe Foster, Sonic Boom, Stuart
Braithwaite and Norman Blake all stating their admiration of “Scotland's hottest new act” - Daily Record.
Joe Foster expresses the urgency of this band by saying in a way only he could by saying “St Deluxe are like a Pop Atom Bomb under a moribund and middle-aged UK music scene, fake indie bed-wetters shrivel in the fallout”
With the release of the self titled album out on hot Glasgow art terrorist label Poppydisc Records earlier in the year with a recent headline tour taking in London's Death Disco (Alan McGee's club night), the Skinny Dip for fantastic Skinny Magazine in Edinburgh and shows in Aberdeen and Inverness, plus a revisited stint in the highlands appearing at GoNorth & Rockness Festival this month, and later in the Summer Belladrum Festival, not too mention the forthcoming show with the Vaselines and Grunge Gods Mudhoney in the luscious surroundings of the HMV Picture House in Edinburgh in October.
Along with all this activity recording for the follow up is underway with Joe Foster (Poppydisc Records/ Creation Records etc.) once again behind the desk which should be due for release sometime in the not too distant future. This along with plans for touring the USA next year and a list of labels clambering to get their mitts on the next record, this could be your last chance to see this band in such intimate settings!
