Ponyland + Nightshift

A multi-limbed, double drumming psych rock menagerie, Newcastles PONYLAND blend the power of Lightning Bolt with the ecstatic spectacle of Sun Ra. Pleased to be bringing the party to Glasgow on their UK tour to support the release of HARE BRAINS.

The new album sees Ponyland embrace a new edge to their visionary soundworld. Keeping the trademark, pulverising double-drumkit engine and fuzz-drenched psychedelic soundscapes, the band have supercharged their songwriting with focused riff-based hooks and driving punk-edged vigour. Hare Brains is a celebration of dysfunction, a call to arms against human apathy, a psychotropic odyssey of eroded power structures, post-apocalyptic landscapes and mutant pigeons.

The anarchic pagan ecology of Ponylands vision grabs the listener and catapults them into a visceral NOW, full of defiant life, movement, and human connection.

FFO: Goat, Sun Ra, Flamingods

Support on the night comes from NIGHTSHIFT, Glasgow's premiere proponents of multi-directional noise pop. Featuring members of 2 Ply, Spinning Coin, Order of the Toad and Robert Sotelo. Their acclaimed 'Made Of The Earth' album came out on the Chicago-based Trouble In Mind imprint in 2022.

FFO: Yo La Tengo, The Raincoats, Talking Heads
