Description

We could have saved some space in the title of this post and just called it The Plugcast. It's nothing to do with electrical appliances. Rather, this slightly overdue episode of the Radar Podcast contains repeated use of the words 'Radar', 'gig' and 'this Saturday' (what, you hadn't heard?)



But there's an upside to all this promotion: you can listen to tracks by all three of the bands on the bill. There's also another chance to listen to THE BEST UNSIGNED BAND IN SCOTLAND, as deemed by the recent Scotsman Radar Prize.



And to prove that we're not completely self-indulgent, we have music from Over the Wall, Lady North and Tokamak, which we play for no other reason than they're all basically great. Well, the Tokamak contribution also ties in with our discussion of the Edinburgh music scene following the demise of the Roxy et al

Running order:

00.05: Over the Wall - Shifts

05.45: French Wives - Halloween

13.22: Mitchell Museum - Tiger Heartbeat

16.44: Lady North - Ali, the Pig Opera and the Helicopter

23.33: Capitals - Hello World

33.57: Tokamak - Lost Bike
