Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Le Reno Amps
The one thing I love about Le Reno Amps is the fact that I really don’t know what they’re going to do next. For the past the few weeks I have been listening to their forthcoming album ‘Appetite’ on heavy rotation, each time racking my brains as to how the hell I was going to […]

Scotland on Tour with Vic Galloway: Bronto Skylift in California
Vic is off on his jollies this week but I’m sure that he would approve of “unsigned noise-mongers” Bronto Skylift as the international Scottish gig of the week this week. Vic will be be back next Monday and in the meantime you can follow his adventures in Maui here.

Detour Scotland: SXSW Video Diary Part 3
Wednesday night saw the Scottish Showcase, put together by our partners Creative Scotland; and it was triumphant. With an incredible lineup of The Twilight Sad, Admiral Fallow, Twin Atlantic, Errors, Kid Canaveral and Withered Hand, a packed out Maggie Mae’s at the heart of Sixth Street in Austin saw an unforgettable night of Scottish music.

Song, By Toad: SXSW Video Diary Part 1
This pretty much speaks for itself, I think. The hundredth best venue in Austin would probably be by far the best venue in Edinburgh, so it is partly awesome fun and partly making me green with envy!

The Detour Scotland crew, including Ally McCrae and David Weaver, have been here in Austin all week filming the Scottish bands, getting ridiculous tattoos and generally having their minds blown by the insanity that is South by Southwest. These are their video diaries:
