I don’t post much these days, but this one is worth sharing. The new single from a band that never fail to hit the spot…quality over quantity every time from @sunstinger. Listen, share, delve into their back catalogue…you’ll not regret it 👊 open.spotify.com/album/1yyKOL...

Loving discovering Australian band HYLA…like many Oz bands of this genre they have the prefect blend of #shoegaze, #dreampop and #melody. They’ve been around for a few years now and have 3 albums. This track is from their 2021 release Caravel. open.spotify.com/track/1mKENQ...

Some ‘Sunstinger’ to kick off Friday morning. The brilliant Aro from their 2024 EP ‘Worthless’. If you’ve never wrapped your ears around this EP then you are missing out! 👌👌 open.spotify.com/track/0QVMKL...

Loved seeing the extended DIG! XX documentary on the big screen at Edinburgh’s Cameo cinema tonight. An absolute classic/car crash of a documentary. Nice foreword by Dave Grohl and nice to round things off by bringing things up to date.

Touched down in Barcelona for a few days away with my wife at a 11am and picked up this nugget within the first couple of hours…not the sightseeing my wife was expecting! 😆

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

I think it’s great…it’s definitely a shift, but feels a natural progression and landed with me first listen. Literally just back from seeing them live and they were superb; one of the best live bands around at the moment. The new songs sounded epic live.

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

Simply one of the best live bands going…. @smellybdrmm.bsky.social at the Classic Grand. A sonic assault from start to finish, as their new electronic sound merged with epic guitars to deliver a fantastic set. A band that comes alive on stage and always delivers. Brilliant! 👏👏

A wee Motown 7 inch haul after a mooch around a couple of Edinburgh record stores today. 😀

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

A new discovery for me…LOW-RES from Stockholm 🇸🇪 This is there latest album of 3. Mixing the electronic sound of the 80s, with dream pop and shoegaze soundscapes to create a fantastic collection of tunes. There 2023 release ‘Darfor’ is also fantastic. open.spotify.com/album/1oZ96C...

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

A brilliant Saturday night gig watching Manchester’s Pastel. Mashing together all of the best sounds of the 90s to create a great sound, that landed so well with the crowd in Cabaret Voltaire. Excellent support from The Volts and an impressive young band called Borderline.

Very tempted to head over from Edinburgh…really good line up and would be a good day or so away.

It’s a definite 5/5 for me…there best album to date.

Picking mine up from Assai in a few hours, but couldn’t wait to listen to it! 😀

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

This is one of my most anticipated albums and it doesn’t disappoint. Hit the mark on first listen. It is a big shift in their sound, but it feels like a natural progression and is still distinctly BDRMM. Undoubtedly going to be one of the albums of the year. Should be epic live.

Flyying Colours, Hotline TNT and Alvvays. Not sure what the 4th one is 🙂

Another epic evening with @mogwai.scot as they closed their European tour at the Usher Hall tonight. Mixing songs from their brilliant new album, with their back catalogue, they once again delivered their signature wall of sound.

A foreboding sky in Edinburgh, as the sun was rising this morning.

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

That was pretty similar to Glasgow actually…a really mixed crowd and lots of chatter. A fight also broke out during one of the songs, with 2 younger guys swinging for each other…very odd for a fairly laid back Thursday night gig.

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

Ah, great that you got to see Sun Mahshene…they’re brilliant. Shame you didn’t enjoy BJM…the set is pretty laid back, with limited engagement with the audience, so I can see why it doesn’t land well with people who aren’t big fans of their music.

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

I enjoyed it…took a few songs for them to get into their stride and it was bit more of a laid back set, but lots of great songs in there. I hope you’ve had a good night as well.

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

Really enjoying be evolution of @smellybdrmm.bsky.social sound. Another excellent new track, building on other recent releases. The new album is shaping up to be a cracker. Looking forward to its release later this month.

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

Is this the best Brian Jonestown Massacre album? It’s certainly one of my favourites.

Ah, no…it was the 2016 tour. 👍

Not sure if that’s the same tour I saw them on…laid their cards on the table pre-gig…advertised to say, no support, we’ll be on at 7:30pm and will be playing for 3 hours! 😆

Campbell Blair @combo74.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

I’ve seen them a couple of times now and enjoyed both. Just be prepared for lots of guitar changes and tuning up! 😆
