Today’s news featuring Three Blind Wolves, Withered Hand, Super Adventure Club, Unity, St Deluxe, Little Yellow Ukuleles, Tangles

First up some news regarding Three Blind Wolves, the band recently signed a licencing deal with Communion Records (run by Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons and Kevin Jones).

Apparently the band impressed so much headlining the label’s Christmas Party in December that the label immediately made a move to sign them.

Here’s a video clip from the gig with Ben Mumford playing the ukelele:

Communion will be rereleasing ‘Sound of the Storm’ (which has been remixed and remastered from our original self release) on 20th March with an extra track ‘Echo on the Night Train’.

The band who won ‘Best Live Act’ at recent Scottish Alternative Music Awards and have got rave reviews from the likes of The Scotsman, Drowned in Sound, The Skinny and Is This Music? are currently touring in the UK to promote the release of SOTS which will culminate in their biggest headline show to date at The Arches on 25th with support from the excellent John Knox Sex Club.

For some reason Withered Hand isn’t being allowed into the States to play SXSW coinciding with the American release of Withered Hand’s debut album Good News. There’s a petition to get him over there, we certainly feel he should be, please sign.

This petition serves to illustrate the international support of Withered Hand, demonstrating to the US immigration Withered Hand’s extraordinary skills and capabilities.

For five years the Unity Centre has been a hub for supporting Asylum Seekers in Glasgow, over that time the Centre has had over 2,500 people register and have helped over 500 people who have been in detention. Please come along as it’s for a great cause and it’s only £4.

St Deluxe have an EP to launch on Dream Machine Records and it’s all be done on April 23rd at King Tut’s, with support from the equally brilliant Bronto Skylift and PAWS.

It’s another sad day as the wonderful Little Yellow Ukuleles announce their indefinite hiatus, they play what could quite possibly be their very last gig at The Captain’s Rest on Saturday, it’d be a charm for everyone who can make it along. We hope it isn’t the last time we see them, here’s a wee tribute to one of his favourite Scottish bands from Lovers Turn To Monsters.

You can buy the latest tape from Tangles tape ‘”No Sweat”, The Frolixan Said’ here from UUU Tapes. It’s only $6 but we urge you to get your ears around this cause Tangles is brilliant not just “cause it’s a really funny line from a Philip K Dick book” as the man himself puts it.
