• Episode 103: Welcome Back Hubby

    Welcome to a special episode of Glasgow Podcart. It is no secret that we love RM Hubbert. He is not only an artist that we respect and are inspired by, but he has become a great friend and mentor.
    We dedicate this episode to Hubby (as he is known by his friends) in a tribute to [...]

  • Stylusboy – ‘Four Walls’

    It’s not a first trip to the pages of Glasgow Podcart for Stylusboy, aka Coventry based musician Steve Jones. Back towards the end of last year we reviewed his excellent Lost Pictures EP and since then Stylusboy has been on a tour with a difference. Rather than play the usual venues and have people come along to see him, Stylusboy flipped the entire thing [...]

  • Glasgow MFA Degree Show 2011

    Degree Shows are, as far as I’m concerned, fraught with danger; the sheer weight of what’s on offer causing fluctuations in quality, as well as meaning that the more subtle and esoteric works get crowded out by the whizz-bang neon lights and large-scale installations.
    I’m absolutely not saying that the 2011 Glasgow MFA Degree Show is [...]

  • Is the BBC delivering quality first?

    When I first started Glasgow Podcart I did so to help expose new music not only from Scotland, but also from around the world. The focus was on the unsigned and grass roots and the other objective was to try and network as many different people as possible. Whether a musician, a photographer, an artist [...]

  • Glasgow Podcart is a Scottish based music/arts website. We produce weekly podcasts showcasing the best in grass roots and unsigned artists not only from Scotland, but around the world. The main idea behind the podcast being that we don’t want to create some pretentious ‘Indie’ site and would rather expose as much new talent as possible. No matter what style, what size or how established, we believe everyone deserves a platform to showcase their work.

KTNYR Preview: Discopolis, Kill The Waves, The Mighty Cream, Capstin Pole

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Tonight KTNYR features a beasting bill to make belly butterflies, including PodcART favourites Kill The Waves and band of the moment Discopolis. New music to our ears The Mighty Cream and Capstin Pole feature also with the endearing Blood Blood in the bar to seduce you straight upstairs for some sweet music making.
We caught up with Kill The Waves this week for a quick lick at what you’re about to be submerged in this evening.

Describe each other band on your bill in one words and a flavour?

Capstin Pole – Effervescent. They would taste like sherbet. They are the musical equivalent of those spaceship sweets with the sherbet in them.

blood blood – Mellifluous. I imagine blood blood’s music would taste like coconut milk or cream. Smooth, light and lush.

The Mighty Cream – Sonorous. I listened to The Mighty Cream the other week for the first time, and I was eating After Eights. Minty.

Discopolis – Rhapsodic. I am going to say that they taste like bacon. Bacon is amazing. There is a meaty feel to their sounds, and every so often everyone gets a overhwhelming craving. Even vegetarians. I have never met a vegetarian who used to eat meat who hasn’t claimed to miss the taste of bacon.

What song (apart from one of your own) would soundtrack film footage of the best bits of your band so far?

This answer would undoubtedly be different spending on who in our band is answering, but it is me today, so fuck them. I would choose “Afternoon” by Youth Lagoon. It is such a joyful song, so full of whimsy and felicity, that I could imagine us smiling in the sunshine in footage filmed with a super 8 camera. Definitely is the sonic representation of the last few months in Kill The Waves.

What’s your best memory of King Tuts  either as a punter or performer?

Personally, my favourite memory is when we played our first – and until now, only – gig in King Tut’s supporting Wolf Gang. King Tut’s has always been the venue that we’d dreamed of playing in since the very start when we were named after a cheese, so to get the opportunity to play there was amazing, and being asked back is even better.

If you could play any venue on this planet which would it be?

I saw Bon Iver play in the Usher Hall in Edinburgh and it is such beautiful building with some amazing acoustics, and when it is full it looks unbelievable. It would be grand to get to the stage where we are playing incredible venues like that. Also, I would love to be in a hardcore punk band and go back in time and play CBGB.

And that is why we love this band. See you tonight at Tuts, hot and sweaty, hips at the ready.
