I went to the Barrowlands to see some local bands with one of my mates last night. There were 5 bands on the bill but we only caught the last 3.
The first band that we saw were Ketimine Deco - they were a teenage punk band and they played a couple of covers of songs by bands like Rancid, The Ramones and Blink 182. They were Ok but not amazing.
The next band that we saw were older and much more polished. They were called Callan. They were a female fronted 4-piece. They were quite tight but the songwriting wasn't the best. Their stand-out track was a cover of Rocks by Primal Scream. If they write some better songs they might be able to do something.
Finally we saw the band that we had come to see. Jumping Flash are a band from Ayr. My mate teaches at the school they attend and had bought a few tickets from them. They were actually good for a school band although I would describe them as almost being a tribute to the Killers. All of their material was original and they were managing to incorporate electronic sounds into their set which was good. They might be able to do something if they work at it. I think they have a page on myspace somewhere.
The beer in the Barrowlands was overpriced and shite which is nothing new so we fucked off to another pub pretty soon after that.
