Thu 6 September 2018 // 20:00 / Venue Space

Tickets: £7/5 ADV/CONC

BAMYA are a feast of dark kraut and post-punks rhythms with nods to Greek folk traditions all dug up from the ground. Originally hailing from Athens, Bamya formed in Glasgow’s fertile experimental permafrost, finding a common cause with bands like Still House Plants and Horse Whisperer, collectively putting on DIY shows in abandoned spaces before cementing their current line-up as a trio.

Glasgow based musician QUINIE (aka Josie Vallely) returns with her second album Buckie Prins + a promotional GLARC tour to boot, collaging together source material, Vallely amalgamates sean nos style melodies, childrens rhymes, story poems and snippets of more traditional tunes to create a bleak and extended blur of narratives routed in an imagined Scotland. Throughout her new tape we are confronted with women’s stories that investigate the tensions and inconsistencies that exist between the formidable (mountains / moor / ocean) and domestic (tedium / objects / care). Building on the largely accapella first release, Buckie Prins sees Vallely’s raw voice accompanied by Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh (Circuit des Yeux, Josephine Foster. Woven Skull), Oliver Pit (Golden teacher, Dick 50, Ultimate Thrush) and Neil McDermott (Alastar Roberts, XXX)
