LadyFest Edinburgh 4th-31st May 2008
I've been a big fan for a while of Glasgow-based band, MISS THE OCCUPIER. They're playing a gig at Henry's Cellar Bar (Morrison Street) on Friday 9th May as part of the LADYFEST EDINBURGH Festival, which runs from 4th to 31st May. Vendors and The Kara Sea are also playing and doors open at 7pm.

Our mucka, the Edinburgh-based artist MARY TRODDEN (who has done sleeve-art for Shark Batter Records, Dawn Of The Replicants and Paul Vickers And the Leg plus our very own Stone Ghost Collective) has a free exhibition of her artwork (along with Karen Constance ) at The Southern Bar (South Clerk Street). This launches on Saturday 3rd May and will run for the duration of the Festival, under the banner: Yeah! Bloody Love To.

Paul Vickers And The Leg
The album Tropical Favourites by Edinburgh's PAUL VICKERS AND THE LEG is out right now on SL Records. Check that shee-it out, Bwoy! "All the madness of King George garnished with trashy, boisterous guitars" as Mojo puts it. Visit myspace.com/paulvickersandtheleg to hear tracks, watch videos and find out about upcoming gigs.
