It’s a busy gigging week with a raft of acts on the heritage trail. Straight in on Monday at Glasgow’s Oran Mor, The Mekons … or Mekons77 to be exact as the punk legends revisit their early catalogue.
At Bannermans, country grunge punks combo Supersuckers play Bannerman’s in Edinburgh, and in slightly more salubrious setting, prog kings King Crimson are at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall.
There’s RAWK aplenty in Glasgow – Lamb of God, Slayer, Anthrax and Obituary are at the Hydro, while at the Garage, the rather more tuneful metal of Therapy?
And at St Luke’s, Floridan rock outfit Dashboard Confessional.

Thursday 15th, at Broadcast, Peter Donegan… yes, Lonnie’s boy.
In Edinburgh, Pip Blom – who seems to be the daughter of the vocalist out of 90s Peel favourites Eton Crop – is at Sneaky Pete’s, while Broken Records are at the Voodoo Rooms – upstairs I assume, as The Eastern Swell are at the same venue, at the Speakeasy for their album launch.
