The Glad Cafe’s 7th Birthday with THE PASTELS + ELA ORLEANS + SACRED PAWS DJ
Entry Requirements: Over 18s only
THE GLAD CAFE IS TURNING 7! You are all welcome to join us as we celebrate this milestone with legendary Glasgow band, THE PASTELS! After two amazing sold-out shows here back in 2017, we're absolutely delighted to have them back to play this show for us. Also on the bill is the incredible ELA ORLEANS and we have Eilidh of Sacred Paws DJ'ing in the cafe afterwards. What a treat!
The description "cult band" usually suggests a group that has been going for a while but is only really important to a very small number of people. This definition can be applied to The Pastels, in that they are a permanent feature of student bedrooms, scouring out the back rooms of the Western world. Such an impression may be unfair, as is the fact that good fortune always seems to have eluded them. But their music has been a breath of fresh air - and a fistful of dollars - to a whole generation of musicians, and it doesn't stop with Teenage Fanclub. Sonic Youth rate them, and JAMC and Kurt Cobain revered them. "Les Inrockuptibles" Paris, France.
