PRESS RELEASE:
Post-punk political power perfection – according to Vive Le Rock’s 9/10 review of their third album ‘Dangerous Minds’. Showing consistency with another 9/10 review from Vive Le Rock of second album ‘Pornophonica’, saying the second album dazzles with a panache and a dash, revealing their impressive versatility and subtle influences, including Killing Joke and Joy Division. Proudly not mainstream!
The Media Whores celebrate their 15th Anniversary and the Glasgow launch of their 4th and new Album ‘A Light In A Dark Place’ come along and see why they are one of Scotland’s best kept secrets!
Along with Special Guests the marvellously entertaining HUGH REED & THE VELVET UNDERPANTS For anyone who hasn’t seen the band before, their show is like no other gig you’ve ever been to. This isn’t just a band of five guys plying their trade from the stage. Oh no. A Hugh Reed gig is full on panto cabaret, with more costume changes than Beyonce and Michael Jackson put together. Change outfits between songs? Pah! Hugh does several costume changes WITHIN one song – the classic Six to Wan including football fan, polis man, judge, prisoner…. A Hugh Reed gig is a fully immersive interactive experience, if you don’t want to be involved – stand far back.
Opening this exceptionally talented all Scottish bill are THOSE THIEVING MEN who describe themselves as ‘No Nonsense, Old Skool Punk!’ – Nuff Said!
