Bonnie Prince Billy : BEWARE!

HOT NEWS! Coming on March 16th "Beware", the new album from Will Oldham, a.k.a Bonnie "Prince" Billy. For a limited period, we will be offering his back catalogue titles at a discounted price. You know, like we always do, but even cheaper!

Fans of numbers and words should enjoy this preview of the tracklisting:

1. Beware Your Only Friend
2. You Can't Hurt Me Now
3. My Life's Work
4. Death Final
5. Heart's Arms
6. You Don't Love Me
7. You Are Lost
8. I Won't Ask Again
9. I Don't Belong to Anyone
10. There Is Something I Have To Say
11. I Am Goodbye
12. Without Work, You Have Nothing
13. Afraid Ain’t Me



Satisfied? You definitely will be! Oldham's recent releases have been consistently brilliant, and this new record promises to plumb the depths of darkness and frailty in ways that only Oldham can pull off. In fact, it's been described as "longer and stronger, and more grandiose". Sounds good to us!

Oh, and those lovely folks at Domino Records have set up a wee mini-site for this album, which you can find here:

Past Instore Catch Up

While you're eagerly anticipating the news on our prospective upcoming instores, here's a wee catch up on the various musical visitors we've had since the Moby DJ extravaganza, just to whet your appetite...

Roses Kings Castles

Back in September we had a visit from Roses Kings Castles, a.k.a. Adam Ficek, the drummer in one certain Babyshambles band, playing some acoustic tunes from his self-titled debut album.



Laura Marling

Just a few days later we were graced with the presence of indie songstress Laura Marling to celebrate the launch of her 7'' single 'Night Terror', who serenaded the crowds and signed copies of the record.



Broken Records

To close out the year Edinburgh indie-folksters Broken Records dropped by one Sunday afternoon for a full-band set, complete with double bass, trumpet and accordion accompaniment. Now signed to 4AD, with an album forthcoming later this year, this was a great chance to catch them in such intimate surroundings.



Ross Clark

For 2009, we kicked off with an acoustic appearance from local singer-songwriter Ross Clark, who, after a couple of successful EPs and regular live appearances in Glasgow and beyond, has just self-released his debut solo album 'You Brought Evil'.



We're certainly looking forward to maintaining our busy schedule of instore gigs and appearances during 2009, with some interesting guests already in the works...

Site Updates!

Hey folks, we're just getting things up to speed round here after a hectic xmas period. As you may notice, we've started a couple of new pages : one for staff picks, one for our video blog.

So far, so self explanitory. Be sure to check out our new Photo Gallery too, which we will be updating on a regular basis, due to the rather high number of instore performances we have scheduled!

More about those tomorrow!
