Head out on the town and enjoy some great gigs
It looks like another warm weekend – perfect for going on a music crawl through the town.
If you plan your night right you could see around four bands – all for free.
And all in a five-minute walk - thanks to the endeavours of the local venue owners, local bands and promoters, Paisley has a good scene going at the moment.
However we all still need your support. If you don’t support the local bands and up-and-coming bands where do you think the big bands will come from?
You might not think it, but you can be very important in the evolution of new music and the regeneration of our town.
All or Nothing duo Boab Williamson and Tommy Clark are back playing some vinyl tonight at The Bungalow.
It’s been far too long since the boys have graced the stage. Boab and Tommy will recreate the original nights and look forward to a packed house as they take time out from promoting and gigging.
Come and give them some support – it’s free entry.
Tomorrow night Straw Dogs hit The Bungalow.
Formed in Kilmarnock by members of the punk rock tribute outfit Last Year’s Men, the band have been playing the pubs and clubs of Ayrshire with a degree of success over the last six years.
Named after the rasping SLF anthem, the band have played all over the UK including Leeds, Dundee, Aberdeen, the Shetland Islands and the Wickerman Festival. They have also played support to some of the biggest names in punk, such as The UK Subs, The Vibrators, The Dead Kennedys and The Damned.
Also on the bill are Hateful, a group described as the musical equivalent of Quentin Tarantino. It starts at 8pm and tickets are £5.
