Record Store Day '19: Annie Booth + Pocket Knife + Home Economics
Entry Requirements: Over 18s only
The Glad Cafe is delighted to be teaming up with our friends at Some Great Reward to celebrate their first Record Store Day!
We're bringing you a fantastic lineup, showcasing some brilliant acts from local, southside based record labels!
We'll also have stalls showcasing talent from these labels and others and DJ sets from the Steely Dan Tanning Cans champs.
Annie Booth (Last Night From Glasgow/Scottish Fiction) is releasing a new single on Record Store Day '19 and we're delighted to be launching it here!
Praise for Annie:
"One to watch in the Scottish folk scene" - Rave Child
"Booth is onto a winner with her debut album ... the 22-year-old creates a mesmerising blend of folk and alt rock" - Jim Gellatly, The Scottish Sun
"There’s raw emotion here ... Booth takes on the big issues of existence and meaning with intelligence and vulnerability" - The National "A gorgeous, expressive voice ... her sound is fleshed-out and fully-formed" - The List ★★★★☆
Pocket Knife (Olive Grove Records) is a Glaswegian duo composed of Louise Connor on vocals and keys and Michael Nimmo on bass and percussions. Sweet with a bite, we offer catchy synth-pop rhythms, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and campy costumes, wrapping up tenderness and rage with nonchalance, somewhere between dance-punk and french yéyé. Swaying between dreamy and bouncy, silly and stern, our live sets have been described as 'Jugular shot of joviality' or like 'a hug from a stranger'.
Home Economics (Double A-Side Records); purveyors of incoherent rock music since 2017, a killer clatter of brash guitars and spiky attitude with debt to this fine city's musical forefathers. They've recently released a split A-Side with Life Model and have a busy 2019 ahead of them!
