Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats
I first heard of Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats when Triple G Music productions posted on Facebook that their gig was sold out.
The Filthy Tongues
After spending the day at Edinburgh Castle with my son and then enjoying a couple of beers in the Grassmarket the time had come to go to The Liquid Room for The Filthy Tongues gig.
August Burns Red Night Out
After taking my son to a Heavy Metal Surprise Gig his next gig of interest was August Burns Red at The Garage in Glasgow.
Grangemouth Tavern Night Out
So after living in Antalya for pretty much exactly 7 years, I returned to Scotland on the 19th October to move back in with my Mother and Step Father.
The Cosmic Dead Night Out
I saw a The Cosmic Dead gig in Edinburgh advertised on facebook and their name inspired me to click on the link to one of their youtube songs.
Heavy Metal Surprise
When I mentioned to my son that I was going to take him back to Scotland to live the thing he was most concerned about was getting there before November 12th because he wanted to go to see Slayer at The Hydro in Glasgow.
