		<description><![CDATA[I make a point of ensuring I&#8217;m up for the first bands on the second day.  It&#8217;s a point of principle.  These poor guys have come all the way down here and everyone&#8217;s too hungover to bother.  It&#8217;s not fair.  So, imagine my complete disappointment to be kicked awake being told [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, that time of year again.  Time for Scotland&#8217;s most laid back and, to be honest, downright fun festival.
First stop is the Solus Tent, the last few years the most consistently entertaining stage on site.  Luckily for the first band up their name completely goes by me.  If they are the billed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To have your band name usurped is highly unlucky.  To have done twice in he one name if highly unfortunate.  As Oscar Wilde never said.  Of course that&#8217;s where any similarity ends. Shouty electro is not on the agenda for Ming Ming &#038; The Ching Chings.  In fact, on arrival it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note to bands: Even if you get shoved on the bottom of a bill and play in broad daylight to a handful of people, remind us who you are at the end of the gig.  Them that missed the start of your set might want to make some sort of future reference.  So, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, the second &#8216;proper&#8217; release from Lanarkshire&#8217;s Finest® The Just Joans.  Out on Wee Pop this ep comes as a dinky 3&#8243; CD beautifully packaged in a classic indie-DIY stylee in its own little pay poke envelope.
We&#8217;re straight out of the traps with the title track: Part barking polka stomp; part schoolyard chant about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Gedge has always been reputedly one of the most torn-faced curmudgeons in indie-royalty.  Evidentally schlepping about his debut album to commemorate it&#8217;s 20th anniversary isn&#8217;t helping.  tonight you can see writ big across his face the fact that not only is this not what he regards as the pinnacle of his career, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Hamamatsu, Japan, Spookey are basically the what the Ramones would be like if the Sanrio corporation had dreamt them up instead of that damn cat.  A kawaii Shangri-Las, they&#8217;re a girl gang with poise to envy and the catchiest tunes imaginable and so much sheer exuberance in their execution it&#8217;s a marvel to [...]]]></description>
