Stonehaven - Anywhere But The Cities (in collaboration with Culture Shock Scotland)
16 shows, 21 days, 26 (plus) artists - that's the anywhere but the cities tour. Dewar's, Neu! Reekie! & FOUND take to the road with some of their finest guests making appearances. Swapping stories for whisky and visiting faces and places, the whole affair will be captured for broadcast and beyond.
This show is in collaboration with Culture Shock Scotland.
ARTIST INFO:
EUGENE KELLY/THE VASELINES:
singer/songwriter, frontman, founder and co-head honcho of internationally celebrated band The Vaselines. Having toured the globe to critical acclaim and had their songs covered by Nirvana, Kurt Cobain remarked of the band 'my favourite songwriters in the whole world'. See: http://www.thevaselines.co.uk/
RM HUBBERT:
A Scottish guitarist and singer/songwriter who has been a staple of the burgeoning Glasgow music scene since the early 1990s, Robert McArthur Hubbert, who prefers to go by RM Hubbert, is known for his innovative, flamenco-inspired guitar style and evocative solo outings, as well as his work with Glaswegian post-rockers El Hombre Trajeado. Hubbert's signature guitar style developed, almost therapeutically, after the tragic death of both his parents. His first collection of solo pieces, First & Last, was released independently in 2009, and resulted in a record deal with the prominent Scottish label Chemikal Underground, who would go on to issue 2012's Scottish Album of the Year Award-winning Thirteen Lost & Found, which found Hubbert collaborating with Alasdair Roberts, the Delgados' Emma Pollack, and Arab Strap's Aiden Moffat, as well as 2013's Breaks & Bone, the first outing to feature Hubbert on vocals, and 2014's collection of B-sides, Ampersand Extras.

Aberdeenshire electronica producer and vocalist Fiona Soe Paing's full show "Alien Lullabies" combining off-world electronica, live vocals and surreal 3D animation by collaborator Zennor Alexander has been selected for Creative Scotland's curated showcase of world-class performance, the "Made in Scotland Showcase" in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year. Recent accolades include an "Outstanding" merit in the Noise Festival Showcase awards 2014, curated by Brian Eno, and a tweet of approval from electronica legend Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode, who rated her music as "Very, very cool!"
