WE LOVE TO BOOGIE Words by Lindsey Johnstone Photos by Levi MacDonald Natalia Codona, 22, co-owner of We Love To Boogie took some time to answer a few questions for us. We Love to Boogie Vintage relocated its shop to 100 Byres Road and the launch party took place on the 1st of April. With the shop packed after half an hour of opening its doors it was clear that this was going to be an eventful night. We took in the surroundings and snapped some shots of Glaswegians showcasing their stylistic best. We highly recommend you head down to see the new shop; with a new café, free wifi and brilliant vintage in a beautiful new space, what more could you want? What were you wearing at the launch? A vintage linen tutu from the shop that I customised myself, a floral bustier top, and big red roses in my hair that I stole from a vase at my mum’s. INDICATE

Who’s your style crush? There is no celebrity that I look at and think “wow, I love their style”. Nobody gets it right all the time. I’m much more influenced by runway shows, style blogs and the people I meet. Give us a style tip? If you love it then wear it, regardless of what you fear others might think, and it’s always better to be overdressed as opposed to underdressed. What’s your favourite place to shop in Glasgow, other than We Love To Boogie? My mum’s wardrobe. I’m thankful she held on to most of her clothes from back in the day. Some of my most cherished pieces were passed down from her. I also pick up most of my clothes when I’m buying for the shop but I like to mix my vintage INDICATE

finds with a good designer. Vivienne Westwood is a favourite of mine. What to you is the best thing about Glasgow style? The best thing about Glasgow style is the variety, I love it. Although the abuse from neds can be annoying, unless of course they are blessed with some top notch Glesga humour, then it can actually be hilarious. You shouldn’t take yourself too seriously. And the worst? G-Star on boys and orange complexions on girls. Although come to think of it, vice versa is pretty horrific too. How did We Love To Boogie come about? Greg and I were both big-time vintage buyers, and after shopping in New York, London and Paris, we were inspired to open our own boutique in Glasgow. We wanted to offer people a more pleasant shopping experience than the typical dusty vintage stores that made you feel like you needed a good wash after you left, where you were only likely to come across a great find once in a blue moon anyway. INDICATE

We realised that there was such a thing as shopping for vintage that wasn’t just buying old clothes: in a nice shopping environment, with the kind of things you would expect from a high-end designer store... good service, a great atmosphere, a place you enjoyed being in. So we set out to create a place where all the stock was hand picked and full of what we considered good finds. We also wanted to create a cool place to hang out. Glasgow has a wealth of interesting and creative people, and while we know we are hardly Vivienne Westwood’s SEX, we are trying to do something like that, hence the gigs we’ve put on. Having a thousand people show up to our previous store trying to get in to see Glasvegas was pretty cool. That’s the kind of thing we like doing. And after the success of the opening we’re considering putting in for an alcohol license and maybe putting on some more gigs and an open mic night. And maybe even an old movie night as we have our eye on a projector. Who do you see your customer as being? Our customer is anyone who loves INDICATE

clothes; not just as a necessity but also for the way they can make you feel and the fun you can have with them. Or anyone who maybe thinks my previous comment is a lot of bollocks but just likes cool clothes. What pieces do you have in the store at the moment that you’re excited about? Our last buying trip was a great success so there were quite a few pieces I had to struggle not to keep for myself. One in particular is a French white lace blouse. And what’s next for you guys and the shop? How do you see things changing or progressing now that you’ve moved on to the bigger store? Any exciting plans for all that space? In the near future we are going to be expanding into the upstairs area of the store. Maybe a cosier seating area for the coffee bar as we also offer free wifi. We’ll also be putting some tables outside for drinking coffee, sitting with your laptop and generally looking cool while you smoke your life away. After that the dream is to have a collection of stores, and in an ideal world store number two will be in New York... we can but dream, eh? INDICATE

DEPARTURES Words by Nick Ramsay & Jawn McClenaghan Photos by Jawn McClenaghan Having just returned from a stretch of shows through England and Western Europe, myself and Nick meet up with the guys from Glasgow hardcore band Departures to see what 2010 has offered them so far, and what is in store for the remainder of the year.

INDICATE

- James McKean / Vocals - Danny Nash / Guitars - Andrew Traynor / Guitars - Pierre Charlesworth / Bass - Ally Morrison / Drums

Pierre – It was basically like a giant holiday but playing loads of shows. England has a much better scene for our style of music, so it was good to finally get out there.

Jawn – So, you’ve just came off of your spring tour, what can you tell us about it?

Nick – How did the 2nd leg go, the European dates?

Pierre - The shows on the tour were all really good! We had only played England once before in Newcastle. Andy – Yeah we went to Newcastle, turned up to the show late, broke a string during the first few songs and left. It was not ideal.

Danny - We got to play to a lot of different people every show and see so many places we didn’t think we’d ever be able to see as a band. You realise how good it is being in such far away countries where all you have is your friends, a van and the shows. It’s so much fun. INDICATE

Jawn – Was there any kind of language barrier between yourselves, the fans, promoters or the other bands on the bills? If so did it affect merch sales or general communication? Ally - The amount of people that can speak fluent English was surprising, so we didn’t really have any trouble with a language barrier. This was good with sales as merch sold really well! Keano – Well until we ran out of normal sizes and were left with either extra small or extra large. Pierre – The only downfall was the

four days in Switzerland. We missed 3 shows, one of which was in Italy that we were really looking forward to. However, the surroundings were very picturesque and 4 nights in a proper bed were very welcome. Nick – What exactly happened that made you idle in Switzerland? Danny – Basically our van broke down, and it took 4 days to get someone out to fix it. Like Pierre said it was a bit of a pain, but being in the alps for 4 days is pretty different from the usual surroundings of Glasgow City!

Jawn – Sounds awesome regardless the break down. How did the tour come about, and did you find it difficult to get any of the dates booked? Keano – It all came about through myspace. A German band called Finding Faith contacted us and basically just asked us to join them on a european tour they were planning. They thought the sound of both bands would work really well together. Ally - We obviously said yes, and they took care of booking the European shows while we booked all the UK ones. Pierre - Booking UK shows when you are an unknown band is fairly difficult, but we were lucky in the end to get all the required dates filled. Nick – What do you think about the hardcore scene, and general music scenes in Glasgow? Andy - The indie scene in Glasgow and Scotland in general is very strong, however the hardcore scene in Glasgow is not as strong as it used to be. The biggest reason for this seems to be because there are hardly any bands from around here. There are a good few starting up

INDICATE

though, so this could well change. Danny – There seems to be a big scene at the moment up in Aberdeen. Our friends in Grader are worth checking out, and have been playing a lot of shows recently. Ally - Also Dead End, they are an awesome band! Jawn – Is there anyone in particular that has helped you guys out with anything? Pierre – Our good friend John Kelly, of Firestorm Promotions has helped us out a lot. He has given us some sweet local support slots, and is always looking to put on amazing shows. He is all about the music so it is nice to have someone like that. Makes a change from some promoters. Nick – So apart from the loads of shows you have under your belt and also the tour, what else will you be getting up to this year? Andy - We will be touring a lot more this year, but we can’t give away details right now.. Keano – We recently released a split E.P with a band called Atlantic Hearts. We had 4 songs on that, INDICATE

which are in the process of being re-mastered just now, so hopefully we will do something with them. Nick – Well apart from the bands you mentioned earlier from up North, is there any other bands that you would suggest people to look out for? Danny – Yes! A band called Our Time Down Here from Southampton, and Alaska, from London. Both very good and definitely worth a listen. Jawn – Last but not least, are there any tips you would give any band going on their first long tour..? Keano - Take a supply of general medicines if you are going into Europe, as it is notoriously difficult to get decent painkillers/cough mixture anywhere. Andy - Make sure the van you get isn’t completely fucked. You won’t need as many clothes as you think you do, and try to play in the same t-shirt every night or all your clothes will end up stinking (you won’t get a chance to wash them).

90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GRUNGE Words by Lindsey Johnstone Photos by Davey Miller Models Leanne and Murphy INDICATE

INDICATE

For the first time in my life I am old enough to remember a current trend the first time round. As someone who relies on fashion to measure out their life stages, this is a landmark. I’m talking, of course, about grunge (I’m not THAT old). You’ve all seen Alice Dellal in her ripped fishnets, DMs, plaid shirt and army shirt. None of this is new. When I was a teenager and the postgrunge 70s revival was in full swing, I would drag my mother round the shops begging her to buy me clogs, faded flares and cheesecloth blouses, bitching about the fact that she had offloaded armfuls of Biba to charity shops before I was even born. And she would laugh a little sadly, and say she never dreamed her daughter would have any interest in her old clothes, and that someday maybe the things I was wearing would come round again, and I’d feel as old as I was making her feel. Well, they have, and I do, and the process has sped up, because I don’t even have kids of my own yet. It is other people’s children who INDICATE

are stomping around town in my old clothes, living my youth like it’s a theme park and wearing my old clothes like they are costumes. It shouldn’t really have come as a shock. These are prime times for a grunge revival, with the current economic climate mirroring that of the early 90s, when grunge first reared its unwashed head. Like the music, the fashion evolved out of a direct rejection of the flashy 80s aesthetic. Although this time round it may be slightly more contrived, the impetus is clearly similar; a reaction to the collapse of the economic boom of the late 90s and early part of this century, epitomised by WAGs carrying It Bags. To write about grunge in a fashion context is actually somewhat ironic, grunge being the epitomy of the eternal paradox of an anti-fashion fashion statement. Grunge was all about kids who became disillusioned watching the dreams of the 80s go sour in the subsequent recession, when it became apparent that the shiny consumerism-driven lifestyle of that INDICATE

era, as represented by big hair metal bands, happy pop and shoulder pads, was an empty dream. With the knowledge that they had spent a lifetime in education being primed to be a part of something that no longer existed, they reacted with outright pre-emptive rejection of the things they were to be denied. Sound familiar? Fashion has always been a badge, and back then all you had to do to declare that you were embracing your disenchantment, and, paradoxically, wearing your apathy proudly, was not wash your hair and get all your clothes from your local army surplus store. With nothing left to aspire to, what use is aspirational fashion?

kind of validation. You never feel like you are ‘part of something’ when you’re actually in the midst of it. When you are 14 you sit around wishing you were, bemoaning your own “boring” generation and idolising someone else’s. So it’s kind of flattering to have someone do it to yours. It makes me feel old, I won’t lie, but sort of proud too. I was there, and it meant something, enough for someone younger to care enough to revive it. For them to do so ensures your place in a never-ending story of revivals and reactions – which is what fashion is, after all. Plus, I won’t deny, all this nostalgia makes shopping easier, and a lot more fun. Maybe I’m the one wearing a costume.

I believe your personal style template gets fixed at a certain age. For me, and probably for a lot of people, my style dial is stuck at age 14, the dawn of sartorial consciousness and the age of first gigs, first cigarettes, first loves. Thus, I will always think a pretty dress looks better with combat boots than heels. So I am happy about this revival, if a little possessive. In a way it is a INDICATE

INDICATE

Things we loved first time round: • Hole, L7, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins • My So-Called Life - Claire Danes as Angela Chase is the ultimate grunge style crush, although personally I always secretly wished I was a little more Rayanne • Jordan Catalano in Frozen Embryos • Rimmel Black Cherry lipstick • Kate Moss and assorted Corinne Day waifs • Cherry red DMs • Plaid flannel shirts, the lumber industry uniform of the Pacific Northwest. Luckily, Glasgow has a similar climate. • Army surplus anything – jackets, shirts and bags all provided that essential nod to anti-consumerism INDICATE

• Kinderwhore style – your mum’s satin slip worn with fishnets, DMs, smeared red lipstick and a plastic tiara, worn by Courtney Love to the Oscars, and me to underage gigs circa 1994 • Wella Colour Mousse in Plum • Thrift stores, before anyone had ever used the word ‘vintage’ when not talking about wine or cars • Centre partings and lank locks • Floral tea dresses, your grandad’s old cardis, beanies • Crochet open-knit sweaters worn as dresses, stretched over skin, bones and a training bra • Portland and Seattle • Grunge on the runway then: Marc Jacobs (who was famously fired for his seminal grunge collection for Perry Ellis in 1993), Calvin Klein

The modern take: • Jordan Catalano in 30 Seconds to Mars (no thanks actually) • All Saints distressed military boots – totally ubiquitous till River Island started doing the same thing for half the price • Chanel Hysteria lipstick • Centre partings and limp locks artfully tempered with dry shampoo to keep things the right side of unkempt • Floral playsuits, someone else’s grandad’s cardi purchased for an exorbitant price from a market in East London, oversized beanies • Mark Fast crochet dresses stretched over size 16 models • Alice Dellal, Mary-Kate Olsen and, sadly, Pixie Geldof • Williamsburg and Dalston

• Sonic Youth tees from Urban Outfitters • Underwear as outerwear from Topshop via Proenza Schouler • Grunge on the runway now: Burberry Prorsum, House of Holland (Henry Holland actually cited Angela Chase as his AW10 muse), Isabel Marant, Alexander Wang (who was seven when Nevermind came out), Meadham Kerchhoff, Marc Jacobs (again) Just give the Wella Colour Mousse home makeover a miss. If Peaches Geldof’s brief foray into the Plum dimension was anything to go by, a death mask complexion is taking commitment to the trend a step too far. INDICATE

When an outside ear listens in on the Glaswegian music scene, it often hears the soundtrack of the indie rock bands that are typically associated with the city. Relative heavyweights such Twilight Sad, Belle and Sebastian and more commercially obvious examples such as Franz Ferdinand represent a stylistically unique approach to a sound which is characteristic of Glasgow, and removed from a sometimes formulaic pattern that so many acts adhere to. But as much as these acts deserve their critical attention, there is far more to the Dear Green Place than so-called ‘art school rockers’. Glasgow is

not a city known primarily for its hip hop, but there’s a badly kept secret that’s about to hit the masses, and it’s called LuckyMe. LuckyMe is a Scottish family of artists, producers and DJs whose collaborative artistic vision allows them to act seamlessly with Ballers Social Club – the live music arm of the crew - as a living, breathing multimedia experience. From video direction to music production, they undertake a truly all-encompassing creative process. Their creations are as varied as the generic directions the artists themselves take, and they live to challenge your eyes and ears.

we are the luckiest: How One Artistic Collective Put Scotland On The World Electronic Music Map.

Words by Lauren Martin Photos from Hinterland Festival 2010 by Kirstin Kerr INDICATE

INDICATE

Long-time member of LuckyMe and veteran DJ Dema believes that the hip-hop based crew “plays a seriously important role in Scottish music. We as a nation have always excelled with independent music in the form of pop, indie and techno, but I find that a lot of people take hip hop here with a pinch of salt. And in some cases, I can see why. But I also think we really challenge people to look differently at it and how the whole scene has developed.” LuckyMe was initially home to purely Scottish talent, but INDICATE

geography is often where the similarities between the artists now end. Whilst the glitch-led madness of Rustie and serene R’n’B of The Blessings represent the primarily electronic sounds of the crew, the trio American Men herald its more guitar-driven offerings. Their debut EP ‘Cool World’ is due for a May release date on the LuckyMe label, and is an exercise in how the band musically bridges the gap between Scottish rock bands and a form of electronica that knows little of boundaries. It is the sound of a surrealist future; a soundtrack of

cinematic waves of synthetic keys that flow into a math-rock sensibility. This creation of unique sounds swerving out of ready-formed generic styles is an endeavour that sits comfortably with the art director of LuckyMe, Dom Flannigan. For him, American Men are “a signing we are really proud of because we just followed our tastes. In the early stages their songs were mere midi sketches, but we thought they were dope regardless and proceeded to sign the band. The work they have put

in since that original commitment has been immense; so much time making this a great record and live show. And you know, it’s maybe surprised people that we worked with a rock band, but really this label remains the product of our tastes. There hasn’t been a commercial bone in our body since day one. We just keep being indulgent and making our favourite shit sound as good and look as good as possible. Any advances in the industry since come to us knowing that we are weird and young and stupid and lucky.” INDICATE

His production partner FineArt heartily agrees, saying they are “obsessed with hearing new music. And hip hop was always about progression - about making it your own.” Only a few weeks ago, as the Ballers Social Club showcase began to warm up at the Arches’ Hinterland festival, a wiry kid with curly hair shuffled up to Dom with a demo CD in hand, and he was greeted with open arms. Cue a nerdy discussion of the latest Prefuse 73 record, plenty of handshakes and a free beer. Just goes to show what a love for music will do to two complete strangers. This effortless approachability has played a huge part in how the family has grow up together and despite its Glaswegian roots, LuckyMe is a truly international family. Brotherin-arms, Irish native and New York resident Mike Slott has been heralded by BBC Radio One’s Mary Anne Hobbs as “one of the deeply inspirational next generation beat builders pushing electronic sound into a whole new stratosphere for 2010”. His debut album ‘Lucky 9Teen’ is a glittering, luscious affair, with synth lines harmoniously weaving into sparkling sequences that are as rich as they are light. Oh, and did you ever see those INDICATE

YouTube videos of a dope dude called Lunice from Montreal bodypopping to Flying Lotus songs? Another brother of the LuckyMe family. God bless the internet. For proof of the sweat and proverbial blood that goes into ‘making it your own’, guest mixtapes are regularly uploaded to the LuckyMe website for free download, which are mixed by artists from the LuckyMe roster as well as the worldwide friends of the crew that collaborate with them. These mixtapes are the flying flags for their vision; ever-changing, eclectic and consistently fresh, they keep beat-heads nodding along throughout the year and across the world. The reaching out across borders that has kept the family hustling and growing, the attentions of taste-makers such as Hobbs and an unceasing drive to show Glasgow what it’s got has lead to their greatest achievement to date – a stage at this years Sónar music festival in Barcelona. LuckyMe will showcase Machine Drum, American Men, Mike Slott, Dema, EclairFifi & John Computer on June 19th for a night that will take Sónar-goers by storm and prove to Barcelona and the world how Scotland does its thing. As one

of the most prestigious electronic music events in the world, it seems only natural that LuckyMe should have its chance to shine on one if its stages. The festival bill is eclectic, ambitious and respected - all words that aficionados wouldn’t hesitate to pin on LuckyMe itself. Put it this way - by June of this year, LuckyMe is going to be one hard secret for Glasgow to keep. www.thisisluckyme.com

SUBCITYS 15TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Words by Lauren Martin Photos by Tommy Go Ken Wan

On March 6th 2010, The Arches nightclub re-opened its doors to the Glaswegian masses with a six hour extravaganza courtesy of Subcity Radio. After a four year respite of major Subcity events at the Arches and the grand re-opening of the venue itself after months of refurbishment, it was a joint success story of one city and two of its stalwart musical icons. The walls panted with sweat and the floor heaved under the dancing feet of over one thousand club goers who were more than ready to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the stations birth. Subcity Radio is a unique creation within the city boundaries. For the past fifteen years, the online radio station based in Glasgows West End has been broadcasting a thoroughly eclectic and innovative spectrum of music that captures all tastes; from Chicago house and hardcore punk, to underground hip hop and indie rock. It is the stations diversity in terms of creative outlook that defines the brains and tastes behind the venture, and it is this diversity that allows for such a wide variety of music to get nearly twenty-four hour airplay, seven days a week.

There is no set playlist of Top 40 hits appointed to presenters, so each show has almost complete freedom to host the sounds that they love and wish to promote to their avid listeners. Does it sound too good to be true? In the words of Dougal Perman, the Programme Director of Inner Ear Ltd and Radio Magnetic, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Subcity [is] a magical world of stuffy studios, tangled cables, loud, latenight dance music and unrivalled creativity.â&#x20AC;? With such a hub of creativity living in an unassuming stone building at the gates of the University of Glasgow, you would think you would be right to assume that this is a niche crew of tech-heads and music snob students. Well, this could not be further from the truth. New shows are constantly added every year to the stations already extensive program and to date, 49% of all participants in the running and promoting of the station are not currently students of the University. This is not a musical fraternity house or union, but a crew of budding DJs, technicians, taste makers and club promoters that all collect under the umbrella of the stations good name to give Glasgow a different

perspective on what a local radio station can achieve and give to its listeners. Dema, who headlined the Subcity 15th Birthday event at The Arches and hosted a show himself on Subcity for five years, acknowledges the stations impression on him as a DJ, and remembers “the earlier days [when] Subcity only ran twice a year during month long broadcasts”, compared to the archived, online podcast-style of the station today. “I enjoyed my Subcity radio show... I did a couple of Subcity parties too, which were good fun! My DJing career has been excellent to me. I have played

some really good clubs and some really shit clubs, but I think best of all was our night Freakmenoovers [at Glasgow School of Art] - we always had a good crowd and it just grew from that. I got to perform with all my musical heroes too. Some of them were nice, some of them were dicks. In DJing, I’ve always found it interesting how different people had different attitudes - like DJ Cash Money being such a whining little bitch complaining that the hotel wasn’t good enough when it was a really nice boutique hotel, to DJ Rectangle telling us stories of his days touring with Warren G on the Bobby Brown tour bus. But one of my favourites was driving around

Glasgow from the Marlena Shaw gig to go to the Grace Jones gig with Fab 5 Freddy talking about NYC back in the 80’s. It was just so surreal.” Needless to say, Subcity has opened doors for many artists and DJs in the city that felt that initial burn to push what they love. The events hosted by Subcity are a hugely defining aspect of the stations identity, priding itself on its ability to throw one hell of a party now and then and let loose the future DJ talent that it gives a home to. Glaswegian producer Hudson Mohawke is one of the latest signings to the behemoth electronic

record label Warp Records, and recently recalled his teenage history and involvement in Subcity in a telephone interview, describing it as “a totally integral part of me, just because I was involved in it from such a young age. I can remember when I first went on Dema’s radio show... I was so over the moon, so thrilled that I could have the opportunity to be on Subcity. It was my biggest achievement up to that point, just to be there in that studio. But it was pretty easygoing – people were just floating in and out. It wasn’t like you could only be there if you were doing your show, there was no strict rules or anything like that... and I met a lot

of people through [Subcity] too. I’m getting a bit nostalgic!” The memories weren’t solely of studio time, but also the events hosted by the station too: “ We did a happy hardcore night at The Arches in one of the smaller rooms, and it was fucking crazy – one of the craziest gigs I’ve ever done. Air horns, girls in fluorescent bikinis.... just nuts.” And to this day, the madness of Subcity hasn’t shown any sign of slowing down. Although it survives on the hard and unpaid work of many, there is a thoroughly egalitarian spirit to the venture that cannot be measured in wage slips or the number of stamped club-goers hands. It is, to utilise an oxymoron, a completely punk rock enterprise. The DIY ethic of the behind the scenes team and the faces that front it has allowed the station to push on through the past fifteen years with the affirming cheers of the dancing masses to congratulate it, and daily downloads from the stations website to justify it. Although their budget is thin, Subcity Radio is rich in experience, memories and future wonders.

Futuristic Retro Champions EP Launch Words and Photos by Fraser Bone

INDICATE

The busiest I’ve ever seen The 13th Note falls on a cold February night where all blame goes to art students, turned pop music makers, Futuristic Retro Champions, who are releasing their first self-titled EP.

from Cecilia Stamp and tells of what seems to have been a summers day drinking in the park, cartwheels and all. Their DIY music video shows scenes that could be reminiscent of anyone’s past summers.

As one of the support bands pulled out due to the bad weather, FRC leave the crowd in suspense but put on a pure pop play list, that would make Kylie Minogue blush, to warm fans up (literally). After a brief introduction they open with ‘Epic New Song’, which contrary to popular belief is a fairly old song from the band. This track opens with banging backing tracks from guitarist and producer Harry Weeks accompanied by feel good stabbing synths from keyboardist/ songwriter Carla Easton.

Next the band dropped another fan favourite, ‘You Make My Heart’ that features the broad Scottish vocals of lead singer Sita Pieraccini. The vocals in all of FRC’s tracks are what I feel makes the band differ from other bands like them (if there are any). Perhaps I’m being biased, being Scottish, but I’m sure Londoners don’t feel the same way about the annoying vocals of Kate Nash (who FRC have once supported!). ‘You Make My Heart’ also showcases more of Carla’s Casio skills which are predominant throughout the whole EP.

I found my first favourite of the night in the form of ‘Strawberries and Vodka Shots’ which bounces into action with a bright bass solo

As the night warms up, so do the crowd. The band gives constant interaction with the crowd and even stage a dancing competition INDICATE

where two lucky members of the crowd get the chance to win tickets to their next gig. Sadly I did not win. Also proving their ‘artiness’ the band even set off some make shift confetti bombs, (cleverly, just bog standard balloons filled with coloured paper). After a long set, to no complaints from the crowd, the bands close the show with a cover of Bananrama’s ‘Robert De Nero’s Waiting‘, which goes down a treat. Overall Futuristic Retro Champions were able to easily brighten up a lousy Scottish evening with their stuck-in-your-head all night electropop EP launch.

thunder disco vs itch Words by Greg Milne Photos by Luke Winter www.dyroxy.com Well after a break last issue I was back on the town again. I accept that one column every three months barely calls for a break, but I joined a union. A cold February night and we’re off to Vic’s Bar at the art school for a collaboration between two

of the new club nights injecting some much needed cool back into Glasgow’s alcopop fuelled nightlife, Thunder Disco Club and Itch! A club night called itch may evoke an image of an unwashed, crab infested crowd, but rest assured I was there, and while I can’t vouch for everyone’s pubic hygiene, the

only ones scruffy in this crowd had clearly spent a long time creating the look. It has to be said the night was great value at a fiver for the joy of six DJ’s coming in your ears. With big nights at the Arches all around twenty quid these days a wee club night that promises to keep you dancing for a fiver has to be applauded. I have to confess I never understand the “versus” part of these collaborative night, it conjures up images of hip hop DJ spin offs,

with one gang member (from the Crips probably due to his nice blue top) playing a track followed by a song from a rival (a Blood member with an equally appealing red top) and inevitably ending with un-sportsmanlike shoot out. While this may be the stabbing capital of Europe, there was never more than a hint of violence. It was more of a meeting of musical minds, which may not sound nearly as exciting, but was great fun none-the-less, I mean, I fell at least twice from what I can remember.

served up with a side of techno from the Thunder Disco boys; Romero Heat, Fats Waller and Sweets Edison, these boys really have got filling the dance floor down to a fine art, and I would challenge anyone not to be on their feet with them at the helm of the good ship dance floor, unless of course you had taken more than your fair share of ket, or were in fact disabled.

To set the scene, or at least the mindset, the flyer proclaims “God is dead…Hell still exists” and we are to be taken on a post apocalyptic night out of epic proportions. I very shrewdly arrived early as there was a massive line down the street from midnight and the dreaded ‘one in, one out’ policy was introduced shortly after. Apparently the night was already eighty over capacity at this point but it never felt overly full and it certainly didn’t feel like there were almost four hundred people there. This could have had something to do with the hoards smoking their lives away in the art

schools ample cancer ward (I’m against smoking this week in case you hadn’t noticed). The fact there was many disappointed club kids that didn’t get past the door only added to the nights cool, and it had to be said this a gathering of Glasgow’s coolest young guns, the kind of crowd that in smaller groups are usually the wildest at whichever club they’re attending, but just a club full of, arm waving, pouting, posers; I loved it. The music on offer was a cross between the electro disco sounds

The boys from Itch! are all together a bit heavier, please don’t assume I mean they are at one with the cake, oh no they sport the skinny jeans look and know the perils of a mushroom top as much as the next guy. The tunes they play are heavier than the hip thrusting disco of the boys from Thunder. Dropping in some dubstep, techno and house, ensured a sweat pit of fist pumping throughout the club. The nights took it in turns to play thirty minute sets and the contrast was noticeable and all the better for it. The final part of the transformation of Vic’s Bar from it’s usual Thursday night set up was the incorporation of walls of old TV sets, big screens creating visuals and playing some

cult movies from the 70s and 80s, and the apocalyptic godless transformation was complete. I will be at pretty much every Itch! and Thunder Disco Club from now on, unless they put it on in Edinburgh, fuck that.

Symbiosis at Soundhaus By Graeme Spurr “I feared for my life as I crossed the motorway near Finnieston, cars whizzing by. After surviving, I went down this road to these buildings that looked like factories, not clubs. There was a door with two bouncers. It didn’t really look like a club and this worried me. There was this sign that said ‘Soundhaus’ so I went through the door and down this long corridor that went on, for like, forever. I was fucked and it was all quite odd.... As I went further down I could hear this break, getting louder and louder .... It was playing so fast. It was an Amen. I hadn’t heard music like this before.” Punter. Subcity recently had their 15th birthday. Retrospectively they put a 10 year anniversary video online. Whilst musical styles might have developed and mutated in this time, it’s nice to see that some things don’t change, such as Glasgow drum and bass night ‘Symbiosis’ residents playing then and now. 1. Symbiosis:why? At the time (5 years ago), we played the Obese techno night (Fullphat, Boommonk Ben) in the back room and the main room was just DnB with this being the main focus. The name arose from there being two different kinds

of music together, which were at the time not necessarily in tandem but we still thought worked well. And there seemed to be fans of both genres. Currently we get residents from other nights like Scrabble and Split in Edinburgh and we also pool a lot of folk from Subcity. 2. History? In some sense we’re linked to Glasgow’s past exploits in the drum and bass scene. The next event see’s Paul Reset of the Nerve label play, extending a hand to one of the older now defunct nights, ‘LiveEvil’ that regularly brought in a wide array of talented

UK DnB producers and DJs to the art school. You can’t imagine it now but this used to be a big night, far surpassing the numbers that attend DnB events currently. 3. Charity? Not a point we like to push. We do it because its good to support positive causes like the Anthony Nolan Trust. Given that one of the original members was helped a great deal by the trust it seems only right to support them. As we’re all in the medical profession too it seems in some way suitable! 4. Ideologies? The best drum and bass. A lot gets produced for such an underground style. We have high tastes in different sub-genres of the music itself but generally go for good dance floor stuff and ‘nice’ tracks to listen to. Not easy listening though. I suppose we’re trying to get away from formulaic, cheap made-for-the-dancefloor shit that certainly seems to saturate a lot of styles. 5. Scene? That’s an unhealthy term but necessary to discuss what has come and gone. As recently as 2003/4 drum and bass here was a lot bigger. Of late though there seems to be other more popular INDICATE

genres at the forefront. We still have a loyal fanbase and there are smaller nights springing up. It’s very positive to see younger 17/18 year olds buy decks and mix drum and bass. It’d be worrying if this stopped! 6. Crowd? A good mix of seasoned clubbers and people that are just down to check it out, or with friends. I think some people have problems getting to the Soundhaus but it’s definitely worth a look. We attract a mix of people who are really into it, maybe worryingly so. We also get a small Dubstep crowd for the warm up (laughs)! 7. Future? May 29th Saturday: Paul Reset from Nerve Recordings. We think as long as there are people liking and enjoying the music, there will still be nights. It’s not always been the most fashionable type of music but we still get people who are willing to show their continued support. This is important as drum and bass is one of the only forms of dance music with such an important and unique place in the history of British club music and subculture.

The original elements that Symbiosis fused together are not so distant now, especially in light of recent drum and bass/techno crossover productions but the night still attains a sense of varied and local talent that is refreshing considering the current state of affairs. If anything, Symbiosis’ longevity is suggestive of both continuity with Glasgow’s past, and future in drum and bass. Fatalistic commentaries about drum and bass dying up here leave me slightly less worried now! INDICATE

When did the band first form? Far too long ago when we were all about the age of 13. We used to play terrible songs and we used to be called ‘Not Only Good Looking’. Being scouts we would play in scout halls and couch rooms for other scouts. How did you all meet? We met at school. Greg (Drums) and Marc (Bass/Keys) were friends and Greg and I were friends, but Marc and I didn’t really know each other. A mixture of that and hanging out at the same places and eventually it just blossomed in to a friendship and this band.

Energy! Words and Photos by Joshua Aaron Porter Energy! are a three piece alternative rock band that have been gaining a large amount of interest over the last 4 months in Scotland and other parts of the UK. With their much anticipated EP ‘Where The Water Meets The Land’ just released, we met up with their frontman Ross Leighton to ask him a few questions.

INDICATE

Would you say that the response to the EP has been better than your previous songs? As of yet, we’ve only played one show to release it. So, as the year goes on we hope to play more shows and obviously get it out there more. I mean, within the first hour of us releasing it online we got orders and in the first day we sold over 100. We’ve also had a bit of industry interest too, people coming into the studio to try and hear it before it was released and interest from various podcasts. I just think that laying the groundwork before the release

has been far more influential on the band than the release itself, but we really enjoyed making it and just want people to enjoy it. Where did the name of the EP, ‘Where The Water Meets The Land’, come from? It is actually a line in a Sucioperro song; they’ve been a big influence on me as well as everything else. It ties in with the EP, as although completely unintentional, all the songs seem to be about water so when it all came together that was the underlying theme and we just went with it. As a songwriter, what is your favourite song on the EP? I would probably say Gone Fission as I’m really proud of writing it but that doesn’t seem to be the case for everyone. In fact most feedback is that James is the most popular song, which is cool because I love them all. However, if I was listening to it as a complete stranger I would say Gone Fission. As a Scottish band, you’re obviously going to get compared to bands such as Frightened Rabbit, how would you combat that? INDICATE

I think to be put the same breath as band that established and respected is a major compliment. I think there is a curse of being the ‘next’ that is a problem. Sometimes people will say about a band, “oh they are the next Biffy, etc” and we hope to avoid this. I guess we just want to show people that we are ourselves and not be pigeonholed. It is a huge compliment to be compared to other musicians unless it happens all the time. How do you find playing to the Glasgow music scene? I would personally say that it can often be the best city to play in if you’re not from here. There are so many different gigs on every night that there will be 10 gigs on tonight, 10 gigs tomorrow night and so on. That can be really daunting and we’ve had to work really hard to get ourselves fan base. Saying that though, I couldn’t believe it when we played to 250 people when we released the CD. Since you dropped the EP have you had much industry interest? I think the problem about being younger is that most young bands being offered a label will just take it with no questions asked. There INDICATE

are too many labels that can tie up bands and if the band ever folded, touch wood that never happens, I would never be able to write again. I would lose that whole part of my life and everything I’ve done would be owned too. We just want to find what is right for us rather than what is thrown at us. Right now we just want contacts and some help. I guess the final question is: where can people buy the EP? We’ve been selling them at our shows and we’ve just launched a website (musicbyenergy.co.uk) which is the main place you can find out about upcoming news and events. There it has links to our Myspace, Facebook, Twitter and Big Cartel where you can now buy both our EP’s. You can also buy them on iTunes. ‘Where The Water Meets The Land’ - £5 Our Favourite Tunes - ‘James’, ‘Where The Water Meets The Land’ www.musicbyenergy.co.uk

and I had to go to the second show of the night, which looked more or less full to me. So up the stairs at the union, pass the ghosts of many a drunken night out, to a somewhat more civilized affair. In true fashion show style it started late, less familiar was a film preceding the clothes showing the creation process. Cleverly a soundtrack was played over the film, which sounded like the kind of thing you may hear played at the sub-club, but was actually made up completely of sounds made in the creation of the clothes.

ART SCHOOL FASHION SHOW at a sun bed shop, various leaflets and painfully a list of all the students showing their wares, a long night of judgment and holding my head at a jaunty angle was to be had, two things guaranteed to give me a headache.

The show lasted well past an hour, but thankfully didn’t feel it. First out was a piece from each of the second year students, and predictably there was the fashion student staples of clear PVC and enough sheer to keep the avid nipple spotter happy, unfortunately this no longer provokes shock and actually looks almost old fashioned, I may have just said post modernism is done but if it’s not it has certainly been “done to death”.

I should point out that there is a lot of interest in the show, the seven o’clock show had been sold out

In fairness this was a student only just completing there second year, so may be an academic year or two

away from having the confidence or ability to achieve something truly unique. The third year students were all together more impressive and quite rightly so. Vivid prints, and some very clever use of weave techniques was what were on offer. Most students presented three pieces, of which several had the basis of what could have been striking collections. Lauren Day’s embroidery and Phoebe Brown’s asymmetric printed pieces stood out for me. This was the show for a textiles degree and not a fashion design course and this was reflected in the clothes as both a positive and a negative. The craftsmanship in the clothes was evident with impressive embroidery, prints and weaves, but there was a lack of fashion forward thinking, anyone with even a passing interest in fashion knows that clothes don’t always have to be wearable, but the idea of the collection will be translated into ready to wear pieces, this show needed someone with a clear vision of their inspiration and the ability to translate that into a collection, even if it was only 3 pieces.

How did you first get into photography? I only became really interested in photography a few years ago. I have a really terrible memory so when I went out to work abroad I decided to photograph everything and everyone around me so that I wouldnt forget, I got hooked on taking my camera everywhere. When I came back to the UK I decided to just go for it and start taking it serious, its been exciting so far.

vicky cheape My photography is going in a direction that is sort of inbetween contemporary photography and documentary. My current project is focusing on feminine identity. Past projects range from overcrowding in houses to photographing my own family. My main goal is create my own view of social issues in today’s society.

Your Style is quite experimental, do you feel this sets you apart from other photographers? I think it puts me in a certain group of photographers. There a lot of great photographers out there right now who are doing some really exciting things with photography. I think its very important to experiment and not just stick to the old fashioned rules of what makes a “perfect picture”, photography is an art form like anything else and should be explored as such. What would you say inspires you? Right now I’m being inspired by music and languages. If I have an idea in my head then listening

INDICATE

to some music can really shape it and help me visualise it. A lot of my inspiration comes from other photographers, knowing the different ways others approach photography really motivates me. Photographers such as Rineke Dijkstra, Alec Soth, Alessandra Sanguinetti and Don McCullin have had a big effect on where my photography is going. Is there any particular element of photography that you particularly love? I love when a project finally comes together! Wether it be the exact plan I started with or if I have taken a completely different approach. I love the process from planning to moment I start shooting to editing the final images. But its such an amazing feeling when I have the final result in front of me. Some of your images have quite a gothic feel to them, is this a desired effect? My earlier work definitely had a dark feel about it. I had a big idea to convert all my dreams and nightmares into one big photo project and I think it worked quite well. My work right now has taken a step away from that and I have INDICATE

been trying to keep my images more simple. I dont think any of my photos have a happy feel to them, there is always something dark running underneath. Where do you hope your photography will take you? Well my aim right now is to keep up my personal projects. I have a lot of ideas that would require a lot of time and travel so I hope that photography will help me get there. I have a lot of work to do until then but in the meantime I am looking to collaborate with other creatives and seeing where it goes. What are your plans for the future? Immediate plans are to finish up my education and keep working on different projects while I have the freedom to do so. After that I am not so sure. I would love to work solely in documentary and photojournalism dealing with social issues however realistically Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to go into some different fields before I can do this. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to what the future holds!

MISCONCEPTIONS Words by Joshua Aaron Porter Illustration by Joe Bucklow

Misunderstood, unappreciated, wrongly-accused and down-right fucked up. Usually what you’d find some teenager ‘Tumbl-ing” about these days. Not usually the description you’d come across of a city. However, since as long as I can remember that is how everyone not from Glasgow has always described Glasgow (Aye, cheers Edinburgh). Throughout my earlier youth as an Englishman I came across a large amount of folk who would explain to me that Glasgow is “not a safe place”. Even at the age of 8 when I first moved to Glasgow I was lead to believe that Glasgow had no security and you’d die immediately when stepping one foot off the train at Queen Street. Thinking back I actually believed this too until the age of 16, a mere two years ago. However, the more you visit Glasgow, the more you realise how much it feels like home, how welcoming it is and how warm and accomodating many of the people are. I’ve spent 10 years of my life in/ around Glasgow now and I’ve come to work and learn in the city. I live in the “safe” town of Helensburgh, however Glasgow is more home than any place I have ever been. In fact I would probably call myself at least half-Scottish now (sorry, INDICATE

England - one love). I’ve developed the accent, I’ve developed some of the mannerisms and I have most definitely developed that love for the country that Scotland’s people are so commonly known for. I can also prove that I’m a grown-in Glaswegian by one small phrase:Edinburgh is pish, Glasgow should be capital. I write this while I travel away from Glasgow and every time I do so I am always filled with a sort-of sadness. Everything I know is in Glasgow. Yorkshire is my home but it doesn’t feel like I really belong anymore and I have no sense of direction whatsoever. Not only that but the place-names mean nothing to me either. Frankly I couldn’t give a shit about Shipley or Skipton give me a Hyndland or Partick any day of the week. Even the train woman is pure weird (you know, that mad annoying woman over the tannoy?) WELL SHE ISN’T EVEN ANNOYING! In actual fact, she isn’t always even a she?! I hear you, I hear your “whit?!” These are places I could grow tired of, these are places I will forget and probably gladly. I don’t believe in fate, but aye, it was fate I ended up in Glasgow. It is the city that has matured me, INDICATE

made me the man I am today and I cannot thank it enough. People do not understand Glasgow and if you aren’t from here you never will. And if you aren’t from here, you have to open your arms to it and embrace it. Then it will probably tell you to get off and stop being a “poof”, but that is just Glasgow’s own little way of telling you that you’re welcome. I would be lying if I didn’t comment on the level of homeless, drunks and middle-aged perverts roaming the streets looking for enough change to get a quarter-bottle of ‘Mad-Dog’ or asking for a cigarette. However, they aren’t all bad. For example, I am sure most people have encountered the rather intimidating Big Issue seller outside of Jessops and H&M at the Buchanan Galleries, right? Well, that is Malkie. You will have heard his rather loud exclamations of “nae problem, sir” or “have a good day, madame” or ever “cheers, pal”. Here is a tip and follow it: buy a big issue from that man. Malkie is one of the nicest people I have ever met on this earth. He is always considerate and he is always thankful for every copy of that magazine that he sells. The reason is because if he doesn’t sell them then he doesn’t eat and INDICATE

he loses the only thing that keeps him going; that job. I was in the position that you were in before I took the time to stand and have a cigarette with Malkie while on a break from work. I would walk past and consider him “a bloody mental case”. Malkie is the best example I have of every single wrong claim that Glasgow isn’t a safe place and that it is full of people who are mental and un-welcoming. I cannot think of a time when I felt like I don’t belong. You have to adapt to the city and you have to blend in. Glasgow isn’t just a city, it can sometimes be a state of mind. Often, during student life, that state of mind is absolutely paralytic, but we all love it. Every single contributor to this magazine contributes because Glasgow is a city where you can be anyone you want to be, you can do anything you want to do and you can be proactive in any field you want. The world is at your fingertips and Glasgow is churning out people who know this first-hand and are making their lives much better. A perfect example is the high-level of Scottish musicians getting air-time these days who hail from Glasgow and despite all their popularity, they

still call Glasgow home and come back. They don’t want to get out, why would they? Glasgow isn’t the city that people want to leave, it is the city you arrive in and instantly love nowadays. It has changed a lot, it’s growing faster than the chain around Alex Reid’s neck and gaining speed faster than Kerry Katona. There is so much ambition and so much life in this city that it is too busy to notice what you look like or where you have came from. This city, the people in it, well we are only interested in where you are going.

Hans Bouffmyhre is a Glasgow based DJ/Producer/Label Founder that is taking his obsession for techno to a much wider audience in 2010. He has been keeping a busy schedule taking his live DJ sets on the road to many different places, and for any fan of Techno beats, if you see a night when this guy is playing then get yourself there. Hans gives his tracks those little touches that bring a sense of urgency to dancefloors, the track is happening and the listener knows it. From his build-ups and introduction of sounds to his bass tones and flawless percussion, his tracks have a balance that always keeps the attention of the listener. You want to hear what’s coming next, and more of it. You can expect the same from Sleaze Records, which has steadily been building up a good reputation on a worldwide scale for putting out fantastic records and has been getting great support from big name, well established DJ’s.

hans bouffmyhre INDICATE

2010 is looking bright for Hans Bouffmyhre, and he should only be heading to bigger things. The quality of his sound is evident for all to hear and I’m sure you will be hearing

more of his tracks being played by DJ’s for some time Your starting out point was putting on the Sleaze nights in Glasgow, did you see yourself expanding that to producing your own tracks and starting a label? Not right at the start. When we first started the club night, all I was thinking about doing was putting on good parties and improving my DJ skills along the way. After about 2 years I started learning about production and making my own tracks and that’s when I started thinking it would be cool to start my own label. Sleaze records is consistently putting out high quality tracks from yourself and many other that are being supported and played by top DJ’s, How do you feel about the progress so far? I’m really happy with the way things are going. If you had told me a couple of years back that I’d be making my WMC debut in Miami with Sleaze Records in 2010 I’d have told you to piss off, haha! I’m always working hard to improve the standard and quality of what we release, as well as always looking for INDICATE

new ways to promote each release. I think we’ve made a good start but we still have a long way to go. What has been your highlight so far? It has to be our ‘Sleaze Vs Perc Trax’ showcase in Miami. We put in a lot of effort with promotion and managed to get the club packed. It was a great night and an amazing week as a whole. I would highly recommend a visit to Miami for the WMC. What can we look forward to in 2010 from you and Sleaze records? I have been promoting the ‘Sleaze Records Showcase’ idea a lot since coming back from Miami. So far I’ve managed to confirm dates in Berlin, Montepellier, Mexico and I’m even making plans for a Sleaze North American tour in November. I will also be doing a ‘Sleaze Vs Big Foot’s Tea Party’ in Glasgow this summer, so keep an eye out for that. In terms of releases, expect more big name artists! I have seen on your Myspace page that you are available for worldwide bookings, how has that been going? INDICATE

Personally I’ve been doing pretty well too. In 2009 I played in Germany 4 times, as well as playing gigs in France, Ireland & Czech Republic. As my name starts to build, I’m beginning to get more and more bookings abroad. As a DJ you are known for your techno sound, as a music listener is that the style of tracks you have always been into? I’ve always listened to techno and other styles of dance music. When I was younger though I used to listen to bands like Pink Floyd & The Doors a lot. I was a bit of a stoner back then! Who have you been listening to recently and what can we expect from your DJ sets this year? In my DJ sets you will find some of my own unreleased stuff, along with a bunch of Sleaze promos. Some of the artists that I’ve been loving recently are Gary Beck, Tony Rohr, Par Grindvik, Pfirter, Alexi Delano, Perc & Mark Broom. Whats your favourite night out in Glasgow that you would recommend? I’d have to say Big Foot’s Tea Party!

They have been doing a great job over the last year or so. Every time I’ve played for them its been a special night and I like the fact they don’t tie themselves down to a particular venue, they have hosted nights at the Art School, Maggie Mays, The Courtyard and even the Sub Club. Other than that, you have to mention Slam & Soma for all the great stuff they do in the Arches & Sub Club with Pressure & Return To Mono. Anything else you think we should know about or that you would recommend to check out? I’m starting a new sub label for Sleaze called ‘Smut Music’ which will focus more on releasing techhouse. You can already listen to some of the stuff on Myspace: www.myspace.com/smutmusicuk www.myspace.com/ hansbouffmyhre www.beatport.com/artists/ hans+bouffmyhre www.myspace.com/ sleazerecords w w w. b e a t p o r t . c o m / l a b e l s / sleaze+records
