If you’re going to kick off the European leg of a world tour anywhere, Glasgow is a pretty good place to start. And on Sunday night, Warren Zeiders brought No Brakes to the O2 Academy with a set that gave fans plenty of reasons to lose their voices before Monday morning.

Tenille Townes has a theory about UK audiences: we’re the land of second verses. “You guys listen through the whole song. You know even the second verse,” she told me when we caught up ahead of her Living Room Tour. For an artist bringing a stripped-back show across the Atlantic, that sounds like a pretty ideal crowd.

From 717 Tapes to Pretty Little Poison, Warren Zeiders has given us plenty of songs I’d struggle to skip. Then Relapse, Lies & Betrayal came along and pushed his sound further. So when he announced No Brakes, I had one question: where does Warren go from here?

Before Pacific Avenue played their first Glasgow headline show, I caught up with Dom, Ben and Jack at King Tut’s. I’d only discovered the Australian band a few months earlier, thanks to my friend Lynsey, and now I was sitting down with them in one of Glasgow’s most iconic venues. Not a bad turnaround

Vienna Vienna is having a bit of a moment. Not just because he’s travelled across the Atlantic for his first ever run of shows on this side of the world, or because he was about to play his first Scottish show at Glasgow’s Garage.

There are some artists out there that you can listen to live and listen to their recorded music and easily differentiate between the two. But with Vienna Vienna’s headline Glasgow show, I don’t think I’ve ever felt more immersed in someone’s music before. Taking over The Garage on Sunday night for his first ever Scottish show, Vienna Vienna somehow managed to make the entire room feel like we had stepped straight inside one of his records.

Tyler Halverson was the kid who turned up to cattle shows with a mohawk and a skateboard. That probably tells you quite a lot about the country artist he would eventually become.

There’s something slightly different about interviewing an artist after you’ve watched them tear a stage apart. Usually, I’m backstage before the show, chatting about what’s about to happen. This time, I’d already watched James Johnston walk out in front of a packed SWG3 crowd, bring a bagpiper onto the stage and somehow turn a Glasgow gig into what felt like a country nightclub.

atching up backstage at TRNSMT Festival ahead of his long-awaited debut on the festival stage, LiveWithLP chatted to Blair about his upcoming EP You Like Ugly, Don't You Babe the emotional journey behind it, and why sharing his darkest moments has turned out to be the most freeing thing he's ever done.

When the likes of Rainbow Kitten Surprise announce a one-night-only Scottish headline show, paired with support from Appalachian ‘possum rock’ favourites Cigarettes @ Sunset, it's no surprise that the queue outside Glasgow's O2 Academy was wrapped around the block long before doors opened.

She’s been one of the most hotly anticipated artists to return to Scotland, and Maggie Lindemann fans turned out in force, queuing for hours outside The Garage Glasgow earlier this week for a chance to get right up against the barrier.
