Thanks Thorsten, well Nice'n'Sleazy is only 100 yards from my office, so no excuse NOT to go! Anyone got any links to info on The Chap? All I could find was: *Imagine if the Velvet Underground formed today and wrote White Light/White Heat making full use of modern electronic equipment. You're somewhere to the Chap's collision of laptops, synths, guitars, drums, violins etc...Scatter are a loose, glaswegian avant jazz collective in debt to such luminaries as Sun Ra etc... * Sounds interesting! Will report back. Jon On Wednesday, May 26, 2004, at 11:50 AM, thorsten Sideb0ard wrote:

Thor, and list, Hi everyone. Just a brief follow up to Thor's helpful info. Saw the Chap last night in Glasgow and was very impressed. A small friendly venue who's crowd was filled out with the support band and both band's mates I think, but none the less a very good performance well received. Lots of energy, sweat, broken guitar strings and violin bows disintegrating before our eyes. Made me realise how dull a keyboards'n'decks-only performance can be! A good blend of guitar band energy, click'n'scratch backing, good beats and quirkly vocals. I think these guy's'll go far.
