ITS ONLY SAUSAGE & ROLL at “THE SQUARE”!!!!

FRAMINGO are pleased to confirm that label favourites LITTLE JOHN ROCKET will be a highlight of the highly impressive line-up at the inaugural SCOTCAMPUS www.myspace.com/fresherfestival student fest this weekend in the magnificent City of Glasgow. The 2-day event, at GEORGE SQUARE on FRIDAY 3rd &SATURDAY 4th OCTOBER, encompasses a whole plethora of events, stalls, and general goings on. All designed to welcome the new intake of Spotty STUDENTY types to our city. Joining such luminaries as ATTIC LIGHTS, LJR will take to the stage at the un-Godly (and distinctly un-studenty!) time of 11.30 AM! on SATURDAY ….So make sure you get those alarms set and are up bright & early to catch what must be the earliest set ever performed by our superstars . Better still, why not head straight to the Square from your Friday night party/rave/stop-out and re-charge your batteries by catching Glasgow's finest whilst enjoying a sumptuous SAUSAGE ROLL from nearby GREGGS!! ….

REVOLUTION & THE BIG BANG

What with all these cerebral physicist types tinkering about with BIG BANGS (oo-er Missus etc,etc) in some Swiss border village, the general public out there may be forgiven for missing out on THE really big story of the week! Yes indeedy, THE real happening event of the week was played out at the legendary KING TUTS in Glasgow late on Sunday evening when LITTLE JOHN ROCKET proved once again that they are here for the long haul! Its not often a support act at the ubiquitous venue can hold an audience in there grasp and leave them baying for more, but that is just what LJR achieved. With the enigmatic quintet hitting the stage shortly before ten, the downstairs bar became a ghost town as the near capacity crowd thronged the upstairs venue. WE BECAME THEM set the tone for an electrifying set peppered with perennial favourites including AT AN END, FORGET ABOUT US, BASEMENT and MISERY TREE. But it was perhaps the two new tracks EXIT and REVOLUTION, which set this gig apart from recent LJR outings. Both songs exude sheer class and growing maturity in songwriting ability, which the guys clearly possess in bucket loads! The crowd reaction was reward enough to assure LJR that there time has indeed come. Whilst the band clearly loves treading the boards at TUTS, it's only a matter of time before LJR are headlining the even more hallowed environs of THE BARROWLANDS and beyond!

Over the coming weeks we will keep you up to speed on how you can help shore up the barricades & ensure there IS A FUTURE out there for the kind of music that floats the proverbial boats of all true INDEPENDENT MUSIC!

All this & more will be revealed over the coming weeks…

And lets give a mention to KORKY MCCALL & the MARYHILL MAGYARS who have made a steady if unremarkable start to the new footie season…. Talk of the CHAMPOINSHIP is at best a tad premature, but we live & breathe in hope… Framingo xx
