MILKCART:ON at Wickerman Festival. Part One.

We teamed up with Glasgow PodcART to bring you some of the best bits from Wickerman Festival. Here is part one, featuring a cringeworhty beatboxing workshop with Bigg Taj and Spee SixNine, Salò covering Fugazi in a teensy pink caravan, lots of drunk people, and Stanley Odd doing their thang with a group of mad drummers. Watch it if you please.

The M1LK birthday party was always going to be a hard act to follow. All we knew was that we needed something BIG. REAL BIG. And as our weary eyes searched the darkness despairingly, our sights set on Glasgow-based band Arches to fill the shoes of their MILKy forebears.

All powerhouse drums, soaring vocals and loud guitars, Arches’ stadium band sound is going to blast the roof off of Flat 0/1. Plus, they always wear vests so they’ll be able to handle the heat.

Archimedes Principle is the side project of Fatherson frontman Ross Leighton alongside his baby brother Sam, who also appears in the latest Fatherson video for Firstborn as the lonely kid with the goldfish. Little do most folk know, Sam is a master of the drum kit. Combined with the soulful vocals of his big bro, this makes for a storming live set that, surprisingly, has only happened once before. Join us for Archimedes Principle’s second show - you don’t want to miss this.

We went to Brew at the Bog festival in Inverness earlier this month, and made a load of videos of people singing great songs including Kitty the Lion and friends, Stuart Nelson of He Slept on 57 wearing a fetching frog poncho, and Ben from Open Swimmer in a barn (click on the names to watch em!). We also compiled this wee film of campsite goings-on, which is just a lot of drunk people forgetting their lines and having fun. Preeeettty funny! Have a swatch.

OK you monkeys! The M1LK birthday party is creeping ever closer and the bands are raring to go. It is still sold out. It is going to be special. If you’ve been living in a cave for the past month, we are reforming three of the ultimate missing bands, on the same stage for one night only: Drive-By Argument, Jocasta Sleeps and Theatre Fall. Eep.

You can win TWO TICKETS to the show on Wednesday 6th June in a competition announced last week by Foreign Thoughts Radio Show on Subcity (listen back to the show here - we were guests, and there were some bloody lovely acoustic performances by DBA and Jocasta). All you have to do is come up with a song title for a brand spanking new Drive-By Argument song. Post your entry on the Foreign Thoughts facebook wall.

Here are the entries so far:

We only broke up so we could get back together.
Me Gusta La Attractive Femme
My Initiative Lacks Kerosene (MILK)
Looks like Belty works at the Drive-thru
Ross Coll, A 21st Century Hugh Hefner
Hannah Currie, the hottest dish for Glasgow since tikka masala
Laura is Daria’s twin sister with an antithesis personality
Toni Malyn is the happy little smurf
The distance between you and I ain’t fucking long enough
A Crazy Thing Called Life
Beyond the Wall of Sleep
Who Lost Their Islets of Langerhan
Mouse Meets The Big Cheese
Cry Like No-ones Watching You (while watching the last episode of House)
At midnight, lions are found on atlas skye

There’s still time to get yer entries in to be in with a chance of joining us at the show. Go go go!

What a show last night! All the bands blew us away - please check them out, especially Library Voices all the way from Canada who had everybody transfixed on their energetic live show! Absolutely loved Queen Jane too - hopefully some of you snapped up a copy of their free EP - and Vigo Thieves were tighter than a… anyway.

The Xcerts finished things off beautifully with a belter of a DJ set for their aftershow party. As usual, we were not happy when lights went up. More photos here.
