VACUUM SPASM BABIES DJ SET




Vacuum Spasm Babies are a couple of like-minded blood-relatives with a love of guerilla recording, shouting and recorders. Malcolm Spasm (notoriously unemployable) fiddles with computer innards in his plush apartment on the edges of a rough Edinburgh housing scheme, where he hopes that one day his experiments will lead to the perfect wrong sound. Charles S. Bravo lives in a hammock in the Scottish Borders. He likes to watch the grass grow until the gin haze becomes too thick, then he writes songs.

PAUL VICKERS STANDUP

THE STARK PALACE



The self-titled debut album by The Stark Palace featured ex-psychiatric nurse, Roger Simian (Dawn Of The Replicants), and grave-digging paint-splasher, Cameron Jack, in cordial sonorous collaboration with various feel-good type alien individuals. The LP has already received great reviews, including 4/5 stars in The List, The Skinny & The Scotsman. Simian & Jack live in the Scottish Borders and greedily consume the produce of New York Punk, decadent Glam, Prog-era outsider Kevin Ayers, nasty-Funk screamer Betty Davis, dirty French hipster Serge Gainsbourg, plus a sackload of whackjob experimentalists including Beefheart, Eno, Wire and TV On The Radio. The pair have been joined for recent gigs by Dawn Of The Replicants veterans: drummer-turned 12-string strummer, Grant Pringle, and double bassist, Davy Coyle.

SARAHJANE SWAN



Dunbar's Sarahjane Swan graduated from Gray's School Of Art in Aberdeen as a sculptor before learning guitar and becoming a songwriter. She has released two singles on Scottish indie label, Shark Batter Records, and has a forthcoming EP collaboration with Roger Simian (The Stark Palace, Dawn Of The Replicants). Her songs have been aired on Radio 1 by Vic Galloway, BBC 6Music by Don Letts and on New York's East Village Radio.

SORENSEN SMALL & BRENDAN MCANDREW



A fine set by songwriters Mike Sorensen Small (Dawn Of The Replicants) and Brendan McAndrew who have been collaborating for many years on dark yet melodic love, death and metaphysics ballads as The Stone Ghost Collective. Their songs have been played on Radio 1 (Vic Galloway), Radio 3 (Lopa Kothari) and BBC 6 Music (Tom Robinson).
