I've been asking the other graduate students what Glaswegians do on the weekends, because I really have no idea what to do with myself in a city by myself. They all said the same thing:
Go to gigs!
Okay, great, but where do i start? Glasgow is kind of like Brooklyn, where everyone I meet is either in a band (or two or three...) or knows the people in the bands. Every pub plays live music at least once a week and there are about eighty thousand pubs in Glasgow. Luckily there are some publications to help me (the list and the skinny), both of which are fairly comprehensive. But what's good and worth my time and what's bad? Remember that this place gave us both Belle & Sebastian (I've been told that if I keep my eyes open I'll run into them around town) and Franz Ferdinand (who, i've been told, are "wankers".)
So, Team Droolycat, I need your help. What are some shows I should definitely check out?
sounds like heaven. if i were you id start off with some electro-jazz. try checking out the myspaces of the bands with the best names hahah
